Note: The IMPRES 2 or IMPRES battery must be outside an IMPRES 2 or
IMPRES charger pocket for more than 30 minutes for automatic Calibration/
Reconditioning.
Manually Initiating Calibration / Reconditioning
Though Calibration / Reconditioning is automatic, there may be
situations in which manual initiation is desired. For example, the
IMPRES 2 or IMPRES charger may be indicating Alternating Amber /
Green for the IMPRES 2 or IMPRES battery, because Calibration is
disabled in the charger. If within 30 minutes that battery is moved to an
IMPRES 2 or IMPRES charger that has Calibration enabled, the last
charging state will resume, preventing automatic start of Calibration /
Reconditioning.
To manually initiate Calibration / Reconditioning, ensure that the
IMPRES 2 or IMPRES battery is removed from the charger for more
than 2-1/2 minutes. Then, perform the following steps:
1. Insert the battery into the charger pocket
2. Within 2-1/2 minutes, remove the battery from the charger pocket.
3. Within 5 seconds, reinsert the battery into the charger pocket.
Calibration / Reconditioning starts immediately, typically beginning with
Battery Discharge (Steady Amber). Calibration / Reconditioning is
complete only after full charge (Steady Green).
IMPRES 2 or IMPRES End-of-Service-Life LED Indication
The IMPRES 2 charger may indicate IMPRES 2 or IMPRES battery
End-of-Service (Alternating Red/Green) upon successful completion of
Calibration / Reconditioning.
As batteries are used, normal wear reduces available capacity. At the
successful completion of Calibration / Reconditioning, IMPRES 2 or
IMPRES chargers compare IMPRES 2 or IMPRES battery capacity to
the battery Rated Capacity. When the capacity is at a very low value,
the IMPRES 2 or IMPRES battery may be nearing its End of Service.
The IMPRES 2 or IMPRES battery remains usable. In some scenarios,
it may be desirable to deploy the battery to someone who does not
require large battery capacity to complete a work shift.
