How to: recondidtion the "Smart" Lithium Ion Battery.
The following process can be used to “recondition” any intelligent Lithium-Ion battery-pack including those used in the VERUS, VERDICT, VERUS Wireless and VERUS PRO. Depending how many “valid” recharge cycles the battery has gone through, it should be somewhere between 80% and 100% of its original capacity once reconditioned.
Step One: Verify that the battery is completely charged
- Plug the AC charging cable into the unit, thereby beginning the charging cycle to the battery.
- Leave the system charging overnight, or for at least 8 hours.
Step Two: Verify that the battery is completely discharged
- If not already, install the battery in the platform and power it on.
- Disconnect all other power sources including the AC charging cable.
- Leave the product powered on overnight, or until the software powers off the unit.
- DO NOT turn the platform off, even if the system warns that the battery-charge is “low”.
Step Three: Recharge/Recondition the battery pack
- Once the software powers off the unit, which indicates the battery has been completely discharged, plug the AC charging cable into it, thereby beginning the battery charging cycle.
- Leave the system charging overnight, or for at least 8 hours.
Once the battery has been fully charged it has been reconditioned.
