Calibration is initiated each time the button is pressed, so it is not recommended to press
the recalibration button part way through the recalibration cycle.
During the charging procedure, the green LED will be seen flashing.

Recharge Time:
The time for a full charge from 0% to 100% state of charge is typically 4.5 hours.
Recalibration Time
The recalibration cycle begins by discharging away any residual capacity. Then a calibration
charge is delivered to the battery. This is followed by a calibration discharge. Finally the
battery is given a regular charge. A calibration cycle will be faster if the battery is fully
discharged to begin with.
The recalibration time is approximately 9 hours for an empty battery, and approximately
14 hours for a fully-charged battery.
