NiCd/NiMH
The X1 makes cycling of NiCd/NiMH batteries easy. The process of discharg-
ing and recharging (cycling) can be achieved automatically with one simple
step and will improve the performance of NiCd/NiMH batteries. We strongly
recommend cycling any battery that has been discharged and then stored for a
preiod of time. This will increase battery life and improve performance.
