Recommended Setting
Higher
Increasing the Negative Slope delays termination of the
fast-charge, causing the battery to heat up towards the
end of the charge cycle.
Lower
Decreasing the Negative Slope may terminate the
charge prematurely on the following conditions:
• Batteries with 1 to 4 cells are serviced
• Battery has voltage fluctuations due to instabilities.
Caution A NiCd cell should not exceed 45° (113°F) for
a prolonged period.

•
The end-of-discharge voltage is the threshold point at
which the discharge is terminated. The battery voltage
is measured in average cell voltage.
Recommended setting Most NiCd and NiMH battery
powered devices are designed to operate down to a
supply voltage
at
1 volt per cell (1.75 Vlcell for SLA). If a
different minimum operating voltage is required, the
end-at-discharge
threshold point can be changed with
Table 11.1 Oa. For SLA batteries, refer to Table 11.1 Ob.
