Calibration. Then select Start to begin calibration the battery.

After starting calibration, the Battery Calibration application requires no further input from the user. The

2. Charge - the battery is fully charged to 100 %.

3. Discharge and calibrate:

First, the battery is discharged all the way down to zero. Now the battery is 'calibrated' but not

charged. You may stop the process after this point and let the battery charge outside of the Battery

Calibration application.

CAUTION Do not disconnect AC power while Battery Calibration is running.

CAUTION Do not remove the battery while Battery Calibration is running. Doing so will cause the

application to terminate immediately.
