For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. • We recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indic- ated on the charger or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates signific- antly from the actual battery capacity available. Operation/ The batteries can be operated from −20 °C to +55 °C/−4 °F to +131 °F.
