charging tips & power conservation:

-
Battery level decreases about 3%/Day for Revo users
-
Battery level decreases about 6%/Day for Revo+ and Mako users
: : charging cycles : :
Because the trickle charge is supposed to be activated when the battery level is at about 85%, charging your Revo when the battery level is above 85% is not recommended. By doing so, the circuitry might not be able to detect the charge correctly and would continue to fast charge. A good level to charge your Revo is between 10%-80% for a mains adapter and 20%-80% for a mobile battery charger. (The mobile battery charger has an increased percentage of 20% because regular batteries, in general, are not capable of fully recharging the Revo- battery voltage and amperage delines with use, unlike the steady electrical output of an outlet).
: : conditioning : :
Periodically, it is a good idea to drain the Revo's batteries by leaving the unit on. Then, recharge the Revo for a full 6 hours before the first usage. This "conditioning" of the batteries will keep the charge calibration point accurate and maximize battery life. |

: : battery status monitor : :
Use ChaDis, developed by Kevin Millican, to monitor your Revo's battery level status. The program provides real-time graphic readouts of the battery power level and consumption rate and allows for estimates on when you should charge your Revo. ChaDis also alerts you when your Revo is overcharging. Overall, it is an excellent program and is a must for every Revo user.
