These programs are only suitable for cycle charging NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydride) or
NiCd (Nickel-Cadmium) batteries associated with R/C model applications. Do not try to
charge any other type of battery using this program.
This program is useful for balancing, refreshing and breaking in new NiMH and NiCd
batteries.
There is a period in between charge and discharge cycles to allow the battery to cool
down, this can be set in the “USER SET PROGRAM” menu.
how to charge:
1. Choosing the right program:
niMh Batteries:
