to change the mode.
The charging current can be adjusted between 50, 75, 100, 150 and 200 mA.
NOTE:
When a high impedance battery (over 2500 milliohm) is loaded onto the charger, due to its
high internal impedance, the displayed charging current may be much less than your pre-selected
charging current. When this occurs, it does not indicate the charger is defective. It does require longer
charging times.

Operational Modes
1.
Charge Mode.
The rechargeable battery is charged up to its maximum capacity. The
maximum capacity depends on the battery. For NiMh, it is 10V.
2.
Discharge Mode.
The discharge mode is used to reduce the “memory effect”. The
rechargeable battery is discharged to a preset battery voltage (6V).
Once the discharge is finished, the total accumulated discharging capacity is displayed in the
mAh display mode, showing how much energy was discharged from the battery, which is
referred to as the accumulated discharging capacity.
No trickle charge current will be applied after discharge cycle is finished.
The default discharge current is 75mA, and can be adjusted between 50, 75, 100, 150 and 200
mA.
3.
Refresh Mode.
A rechargeable battery is charged and discharged repeatedly to optimize to its
maximum capacity. Old rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries that have not been
