Charge-to-Discharge & Discharge-to-Charge cycle mode for a NiCd/NiMH battery

 

    

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The left side of the first line displays the type of battery (NiCd/NiHM) and the 
second  line  allows  you  to  set  the  current  limit.

 

The

  iCharger

  offers  two 

charging modes for

 

NiCd/NiMH., ‘CHARGE Aut’ and ‘CHARGE Manual’. In 

‘Aut’  mode  the  user  sets  the  upper  limit  for  the  charging  current.  The 

iCharger

  will  charge  with  about  1C  automatically  but  no  higher  than  the 

configured current. In ‘Manual’ mode it will charge at the configured current. 
Press 

Start/Enter

 for more than 3 seconds to start charging. 

Current for Aut: 0.05 – 10A; Current for Manual: 0.05 – 10A 

 
Charge  status.  You  can  stop  the  process  at  any  time  by  pressing 

Batt

to display the General Status information. 

 

The  left  side  of  the  first  line  shows  the  type  of  battery  (NiCd/NiHM).  The 
value  in  the  second  line  sets  the  discharge  current  on  the  left  and  final 
voltage  on  the  right.  Press 

Start/Enter

  for  more  than  3  seconds  to  start 

discharging.

 

Discharge current: 0.05 – 7A 
Final voltage: 0.1 – 40.0V (0.1 – 29.0V for 106B) 

 
Discharge  status  .  You  can  adjust  the  discharge  current  by  pressing 

Start/Enter

  during  the  process.  Press 

Inc

 

or

 

Dec 

to  increase  or 

decrease  the  charge  current

.

  After  you  alter  the  current  value,  store  it  by 

pressing 

Start/Enter

  again.  You  can  stop  the  process  at  any  time  by 

pressing 

Batt  type/Stop

.  Press

you selected: 

CHG

->DCHG

or DCHG->CHG(xxx)

. You can set 

the  charge  mode  as  “Charge  Auto”  or  “Charge  Manual”.  The  discharge 
parameters  are  those  set  in  NiCd/NiHM  discharge  screen.  Press 

Start/Enter

 for more than 3 seconds to start the cycling.   

Cycle number: 1 – 10 , 
Cycle charge mode: ‘Aut’ or ‘Man’ 

 
 
The  screen  displays  the  NiCd/NiMH  cycle  mode.  On  the  left  side  of  the 
second line, in the process is identified as either C>D or D>C. A blinking “C” 
indicates charging, while a blinking “D” indicates discharging. 
You can stop the cycling process at any time by pressing
