maintenance as well as the continuous observation of replaceable parts for wear.
Battery
Conditioning
A rechargeable battery must be conditioned at regular intervals to prepare it for further
charge/discharge cycles. Conditioning a battery refers to the complete discharge of a charged
battery by allowing it to die out while in non-critical use. The empty battery may then be
recharged and put back into use.
