The discharge current (shown on the left side of
the screen) should not exceed 1C 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
the discharge process, hold
Start/ Enter
key for 3
seconds.
This screen shows the present position of the
discharging process. To stop discharging press
Batt Type/Stop
once.
This screen will appear if the processor finds that
the voltage of one of the cells in the Lithium
battery pack is too low.
6.5 Discharging Lithium batteries
6.6 Voltage balancing and monitoring during discharge
The processor monitors the voltage of the individual cells of the Lithium battery pack
during 'storage-mode' and 'discharge'. It tries to normalise the voltages of each cell
so they are all 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 one or more cells appears abnormal, the charger will automatically
terminate the process and an error message will show on the screen. The
occurrence of this indicates that the battery pack contains a damaged cell, or that
the battery has not been connected to the charger correctly. To find out which cell
within the pack is damaged, press
INC
while the error message is on the screen.
