The IQ216 charger also features a discharge function that is available on the last four slots (slot
13, 14, 15 and 16). For using this function, simply insert the batteries into the slots and double
press the “MODE” button.
INFORMATION: If you want to know if the four slots are charging or discharging, then take a look
at the according battery symbols on the display. If the state-of-charge bars are running
downwards, then the four slots are discharging. Otherwise, if the bars are running upwards, the
charger is still in charging mode.
ATTENTION: If the discharge mode is selected once, it is set on all four slots (13, 14, 15 and 16).
It is not possible to select single slots for discharging.
In case you have selected the discharge function accidentally, you can easily switch back to the
charge mode by pressing the “MODE” button twice again. To use the discharge function, you
don’t need to insert all the same batteries. It is also possible to discharge different batteries (AA
and AAA) at the same time.
The number of flashing bars draws no conclusion to the actual discharge state of each battery. It
gives only the information that the discharge procedure is active. If one or more batteries end
discharging, the bottom bars stay flashing. The charger waits for the other batteries finishing
discharging, to enter a “cool-down” phase that lasts approx. 10min. to let the batteries relax. After
that, the charger immediately starts to charge all batteries that were discharged before.

If one or more batteries finished charging, the bars of the respective slot change from running
upwards to stable. The “full” signal looks different, depends on what charging current was chosen
by the IQ216 charger:
