Please note: The value of discharge current on
the left side of screen may not exceed 1C. The
final voltage on the right should not be under the
voltage level that is recommended by the battery
manufacturer. This is to avoid deep discharging.
To start to discharge press the Start/Enter key for
more than 3 seconds. (Discharge current: 0.1-5.0A)
The screen will then show the present state of
discharge. To stop discharging, press the Batt type/
Stop key once.
Discharging a Lithium Battery
*Voltage balancing and monitoring during discharge
This process monitors the voltage of individual cells during 'storage-mode' and
'discharge' of a Lithium battery pack. It attempts to normalise the voltages to an equal
level. For this feature, the balance plug of the battery pack should be connected to the
balance port in the charger. This may need an appropriate adaptor board. If the voltage
of any one or more cells varies abnormally during the procedure, the Sigma EQ Hyper
terminates the process with an error message. If this happens, the battery pack contains
the faulty cell, or there is a faulty connection in the cable or plug. You can easily identify
which cell is faulty by the pressing INC> button whilst error message is displayed.
If the processor has found that the voltage of one
cell in the Lithium battery pack to be too low.
In this instance, the 4th cell has a fault. In the
case of a connection-break in the cable or plug,
the voltage value may show zero.
