Battery refresh function
The battery refresh function can avoid the batteries from
1)
memory effects by discharging batteries that are not
drained completely. The shortened operating period of
batteries can be corrected. Refreshing is recommended
when the operating period of batteries becomes short.
1) Memory effects: If a rechargeable battery is discharged and
charged repeatedly without being discharged completely,
the power is temporarily lowered, and the operating period
may be shortened on some devices. This is a passing
phenomenon, and discharging a battery completely can
restore the operating period. How the memory effect
actually affects operation varies among different devices.
Note
Never refresh batteries other than the NH-AA batteries
or equivalent. Doing so may cause leakage, bursting, or
extremely high temperature, which could result in an
unexpected accident.
