Conditioning Batteries
blu666z:
Got my new PowerEx batteries today. In the instructions is says they need to be cycled 3-5 times for best performance. Then it says battery cycling ca ne achieved by simply using the batteries and recharging or using the charger's built in conditioner.
Do I only have to use the conditioner once, or would I also do it 3-5 times? Just kinda confusing wording.

That's what I'm doing right now. Kinda weird though. Hot both buttons at the same time. Both went yellow. Before I left for the store, one had already switched to red(charging). The other one, one hour later, is still discharging(yellow).

Here's how I do mine:
[1] Charge full, till green lights are lit
[2] Swap batts from one side/charger to the next - this will almost always result in red lights for the batts, even if previously charged to green (can't switch to discharge mode when fully charged / green light lit, for some reason).
[3] After you swamp them out, hit the discharge/charge buttons to discharge them. As Mike says, they'll flash yellow while discharging, then go to red while charging, then green when fully charged.
[4] Repeat [1]-[3] a couple/few times upon purchase, or every couple months.
[5] Off you go!
