End-of-Service-Life Indication

The IMPRES 2 charger may indicate IMPRES 2 battery end-of-service by alternating red and green
LED upon successful completion of calibration or reconditioning.
When batteries are used, normal wear reduces available capacity. At the successful completion of
calibration or reconditioning, IMPRES 2 chargers compare IMPRES 2 battery capacity to the battery
rated capacity. When the capacity is at a very low value, the IMPRES 2 battery may be nearing its
end-of-service. The IMPRES 2 battery remains usable. In some scenarios, it may be preferable to
deploy the battery to someone who does not require large battery capacity to complete a work shift.
APX NEXT XN battery comes with high temperature detection feature that is detectable from IMPRES
2 charger with software version V2.02 or newer. When this feature is enabled, the status LED
flashes red and green alternately upon charge completion for battery that went through prolonged
exposure (exceeding 10 minutes cumulatively) under extreme high temperature environment. The
charger displays the following:
REPLACE BATTERY
EXPOSED OVERTEMP
It is recommended to remove this battery out from the service.

Manually Terminating Calibration or Reconditioning

At any time during IMPRES 2 battery discharge (Steady Amber), calibration or reconditioning may be
terminated.
When and where to use: To manually terminate calibration or reconditioning, perform the following
steps:
Procedure:
1 Remove the battery from the charger pocket.
2 Within five seconds, reinsert the battery into the charger pocket.
Battery discharge immediately terminates, and normal battery charging starts. The LED indicates
charge status.
4.9

Reconditioning the Switch

When and where to use: The charger is equipped with a switch on the bottom of the unit that can
be utilized to manually terminate the reconditioning process (as a systemic, on-going use-case). The
charger continues to provide an indication that the battery needs to be reconditioned.
Procedure:
To enable the recondition feature, switch the RECONDITION to ON located at the bottom of the
charger.
