Re: Batteries

It is unlikely that battery conditioning will help with these batteries. They have a very defined charge/discharge lifetime (about 400 cycles as I remember) Older batteries will certainly be close to that number if you practice and use your old batteries often. Lead acid batteries do exhibit other problems but I don't think you are having any of those issues.
