STORAGE DATA PROGRAM

Storage data program

For your convenience, the Prodigy 610 Duo has a data storage and load program. It can 

store ten batteries data representing the respective specifications of batteries. You can 

call back the data when charging or discharging without setting up the program again. 

Press START/ENTER key to make it blink, and use INC or DEC to set up the parameter.

Setting of the parameter in the screen will not affect the charge 

and discharge process. They just present the specification of 

the battery. The example is NiMH battery pack, including 12 

cells, the capacity is 3000mAh.

Set up the charge current in the manual mode, or current limit 

in the auto mode. Press INC and DEC key simultaneously to 

make the current field blink to switch the charge mode.

Set up the discharge current and final voltage.

Set up the charge/discharge sequence and cycle number.

Saving the data

LOAD DATA PROGRAM

Choose the data number you want to call back. The data you

want to call back will be displayed.

Loading the data

Load data program

This program is to load the data stored at the “save data” program. Press START/ENTER 

key to make the data field blink and press INC or DEC for more than 3 seconds to load 

the data.

Various information in the program

You can recall various information on the LCD screen during the charging and discharging 

process. Press DEC key, the charger will display users' setting. You can press INC key to 

monitor voltage of each cell while the battery’s balance lead is connected to the charger.

The final battery voltage when the program ended.

Capacity cut-off function is turned on or off and setting of the

battery total capacity.

Safety timer is turned on or off and duration of time in

minutes.

Displayed temperature cut-off function is turned on or off.

The external temperature is displayed when the temperature

probe is used.

Present input voltage.

The battery is connected with balance lead, you can check voltage

of each cell in the battery pack.
