•
Don't store the batteries (or MP2500) at high temperatures.
•
New rechargeable batteries typically require 5 charge-discharge cycles
to achieve their full rated capacity.
If battery capacity drops prematurely, it may be caused by the memory
effect - this is particularly likely with NiCd batteries. Try putting the batteries
through several full charge/discharge cycles, as follows (also see section
32.2.1.2):
•
Run the MP2500 until it displays battery low warnings and then charge
it fully.
Repeat the discharge/recharge cycle two or three more times. If this does
not restore the battery capacity, you should replace them as described in
the next section. Note that cycling may also improve the performance of old
batteries, but this is purely temporary, so the batteries should be replaced.
8.2.2.4 Replacing rechargeable batteries
With typical usage patterns, you will need to replace the rechargeable
battery stick every 12 to 18 months, to maintain a reasonable capacity. To
replace the battery stick, follow the instructions in section 8.2.3.2, then
charge it fully as described in section 8.2.2.2.
Note: Several
rechargeable cells reach their peak capacity.
