Erasing battery memory effect



Unlike older NiCad batteries, which suffered from shortened battery life after multiple partial discharge cycles, the Recon’s NiMH batteries are generally not susceptible to this “memory effect.” Still, we’ve had some calls from customers reporting that the low battery warning is showing up much earlier on their Recons.

Jan Gallant from our tech support department looked into the problem, did some tests, and has a solution: a deep discharge of your Recon’s battery, followed by a full 12-hour recharge. Details are in this product bulletin
