CARE OF OPTIONAL RECHARGEABLE Ni-Cd BATTERIES The following is meant as general information regarding Ni-Cd batteries. • Always allow the battery to fully charge before using. • Allow the batteries to fully discharge before recharging. Full discharge will be indicated by the “BATT. LOW” indicator. • The above will prevent the batteries from developing “memory” which effectively reduces their capacity. • It is better to store Ni-Cd batteries that are discharged rather than charged.
