Does anyone know if there is a charger/conditioner for the BP-511A batteries that would do an intelligent conditioning of the battery?

Thanks,
Mickey

No that I have ever seen. Would like it if Maha would make one.

Exactly what I was thinking. I have one of theirs and love how it brought back my AA NiMH batteries to full life.

It’s not so much as conditioning Lithium’s but balancing them. The BP’s are 2 cells so what usually happens is one cell will crap out first. There are lots of multi-type hobby chargers out there that can charge each cell individually (like GP Triton). Lithium ion and polys can’t be discharged past 3V/cell and cycling doesn’t do them any good/harm.
