Hi Guys

Just got myself a C9000 charger with some powerex imedions, and also got some Kodak precharged for the bargain price of just over $11aud for 4

I have used the C9000 to try and rejuvinate some old batteries, and thats worked fine, but i was wondering, if the LSD batteries are already charged when sold, what first charge do you reckon would be best?

do i do a refresh and analyse (as it charges to capacity then discharges)? or a break in? which charges regardless and then cycles..

or do i just do a charge? :)

Thanks in advance from a long time unregisted browser :)

Most folks seem to recommend to discharge first, then run a break-in, for the LSD's. That's what I've done with mine.

Thanks Guys for the welcome and info...

ok first set of Kodak Precharged LSD AA's have been through the cycle...

full dishcharge to 0.9v then followed by the break in mode with it set to 2100mah

first set results capacity is between 2079 and 2050mah so not bad.. see how long thay last now!

Thanks
