LONG LIFE CHARGING MODE
Long Life Charging Mode is a charging mode whereby the battery is charged to approximately 80 % instead
of fully charged to 100 %.
By connecting to a PC using a commercially available shielded USB data transfer cable (USB 2.0 A Male
to Micro B) and through installing an optional "KAS-12 BATTERY READER", you can charge the battery
pack in this mode.
Charging the battery pack in this mode repeatedly can extend the life-span of the battery pack.
The LED indicator lights up in blue when charging the battery pack in this mode.
ATTENTION:
◆ The battery pack is not fully charged in this mode so the battery duration from each charging
becomes shorter.
RECONDITIONING
mated Ba
Auto ttery Reconditioning
When a Ni-MH intelligent battery (battery pack equipped with a data terminal) is used with this
charger, the charger will read the number of discharging and charging cycle of the battery pack. When
the preset number is reached, reconditioning (full discharging and charging) is performed. This allows
you to restore the charging capacity of the battery pack.
If reconditioning is deemed necessary, reconditioning starts automatically. The LED indicator of the
charger lights up in yellow and discharging starts.
Once the discharging is completed, charging starts automatically and the LED indicator lights up in
red.
ATTENTION:
◆ Depending on the usage condition of the battery pack, reconditioning may not be performed even
if the preset number of cycle is reached.
◆ If the preset number of cycle is reached and charging is done on a charger other than KSC-Y32,
reconditioning will be skipped. Reconditioning will not start until the next preset number is reached.
◆ If the effect of the reconditioning is insuffi cient, reconditioning may start the next time you charge
the battery pack.
◆ Full capacity charging may take up for approx 12 hours to complete, depending upon the state of
charge and capacity rating of the battery when it is inserted.
Manual Battery Reconditioning
After charging starts (indicator lights up in red), the record of the battery pack is read (indicator
fl ashes 3 times in purple). Within the three fl ashes in purple, repeating the actions of removing the
battery pack from the charger and placing it back to the charger twice within 5 seconds will force
reconditioning to start.
