The setting of the discharge current on the left cannot exceed
1C, and the setting on the right cannot be under the voltage
recommended by the manufacturer to avoid deep discharg-
ing. Press the
START/ENTER
key for more than 3 seconds to
start discharging.
This shows the real-time status of discharging; you can press
the
BATT TYPE/STOP
key to stop discharging.
Charging NiCd or NiMh Batteries
This program is for charging NiCd/NiMH batteries typically
used in an R/C model application. Press the START/ENTER
key until the parameter you want to change begins to blink
then use the INC or DEC keys to change the value. Press the
START/ENTER key to store the setting.
This screen shows the real-time status of charging. You can
press the BATT TYPE/STOP key to stop the charge process.
There are two methods of charging NiCD and NiMh batteries, Manual or Auto Mode. When
in the NiMh or NiCd Program Select screen you can change modes by pressing the
START/ENTER
key until the current field begins flashing then press
INC
and
DEC
simulta-
neously to switch between Auto and Manual Mode. using the charge current you set up. In
the “auto” mode, you should set the upper limit of the charge current to avoid damage caused
by excessive charge current. This is especially important for low quality batteries that have
low resistance and capacity. In the “manual mode” the charger will only charge at the current
you set. Note the following charger / discharge specifications for NiCd and NiMh Batteries.
Nominal Voltage level:
1.2V/cell
Allowable Fast Charge Current:
1C-2C (depends on performance of cell)
Discharge Voltage Cut Off Level NiCd:
0.85V per cell
Discharge Voltage Cut Off Level NiMh:
1.0V per cell

This screen shows that the processor detected the voltage of
one on the cells is too low.
This screen shows the 4th cell was damaged. If the cell is
disconnected or not present the reading of the voltage will be
zero.
