The value of discharge current on the left side of screen 
may not exceed 1C for a maximum safety and the final 
voltage on the right should not be under the voltage 
level that is recommended by the battery manufacturer 
to avoid deep discharging.
To start to discharge press       key for more than 3 
seconds.

This shows the present state of discharge. To stop 
discharging press              key once.

* Voltage balancing and monitoring during the discharge

   The processor monitors the voltage of individual cells during 'storage-mode' and 'discharge' 
of Lithium battery pack. It tries to normalise the voltages to be equal. For this feature, the 
individual plug of the battery pack should be connected to the individual port of the charger.
 If the voltage of any one or more cells varies abnormally during the procedure, BC6 
terminates the process forcibly with the error message. If this happens, the battery pack 
contains the bad cell, or the bad connection of the cable or plug. You can easily know which 
one cell is bad by pressing             button at time of showing the error message.

BATTERY  VOL  ERR
       CELL  LOW VOL

The processor found that the voltage of one of the 
cell in the Lithium battery pack is too low.

In this case, the 4th cell is bad. If there happens 
the connection-break of the cable or plug, the 
voltage value may show zero.
