Premium Members Dave Chameides Posted November 14, 2005 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Anyone have any idea what the recovery mode on the pag charger does? I have the old style pro batteries and while bored on set the other day realized I have no idea what this thing actually does. Is it a good idea to do this every once ina while?

Nacho Minguez Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Hello Dave, are you Mr. Chameides? How long time. It´s nice to hear from you again. I extract the following from my PAG MC-124 charger: The Recovery Charge Program: Batteries which have been over-discharged may be rejected by the charger and indicated as faulty: batteries in this condition are unsuitable for fastcharging. To overcome this the MC124 incorporates an ancillary Recovery Charge program. The selector switch for this program is located on the front panel. After a period of one hour the MC124 automatically enters the fast-charge program which will run until the battery is fully charged. If a battery is severely faulty, and has not responded to treatment by the Recovery Charge program, it will be indicated as faulty when the fast-charge program is entered and will not be charged. Rejected batteries should be further investigated, see Section 4.6. Hope this helps :P Kind regards Nacho Minguez Steadicam Owner/Operator SPAIN 0034 626 110 537 nachostd@terra.es Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Charles Papert Posted November 15, 2005 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 and Dave, in case you were thinking about sending your batt's over to my garage for a little R&R (aka the first-aid program on my Frezzi): would love to help out but alas, I've sold that charger and moved over to Anton Bauers, so I'm chocolate-bar-battery-friendly no more.
