Power Calibrating a Battery Pack Three steps are involved in calibrating the battery pack: fully charging, fully discharging, and then fully recharging. When to Calibrate Even if a battery pack is heavily used, calibration should be necessary only once a month. You do not have to calibrate a new battery pack. Calibration does not usually increase battery run time, but it can increase the accuracy of battery charge displays, especially under the following conditions: ■ When the battery pack has been unused for one month or more. ■ When you notice a significant change in battery run time. ■ When battery charge displays seem inaccurate. For more information about battery charge displays, refer to the "Monitoring the Battery Pack Charge" section earlier in this chapter. 3-26 Hardware and Software Guide
