Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries do not have the so-called "memory eff ect", which allows them to be recharged at any time. How-
ever, it is recommended to always fully discharge the rechargeable batteries during normal operation and fully recharge them
afterwards. If the work done with the product does not facilitate this discharge and recharge cycle, do it at least every few or ten-
odd charging cycles. NEVER drain the rechargeable battery voltage by shorting their terminals or the batteries will fail! NEVER
test the charge of a rechargeable battery by shorting its terminals to see if they spark.
Storing the batteries
To extend the life of the rechargeable batteries, proper storage conditions must be maintained. The service life of the rechargeable
battery is approximately 500 full discharge and recharge cycles. Store the battery at a temperature between 0 and 30 °C and a
