NiMH/NiCD:
This program is only suitable for charging/discharging NiMH/NiCd batteries.
The ULTIMA 400 DUO offers the following NiMH/NiCd charge modes: Charge, Auto
Charge, Discharge, Re-Peak and Cycle.
Selecting the Battery Type:
After powering on the ULTIMA 400 DUO, press the INC or DEC button repeatedly until you
reach the appropriate program for the battery type you wish to charge. For this example we
have chosen the “NiMH BATT“ or “NiCD BATT” program. Now press the ENTER button to
enter the desired program.
NiMH/NiCD Charge Mode:
BEFORE YOU BEGIN CHARGING YOUR BATTERY, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ
AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE WARNINGS AND SAFETY INFORMATION CON-
TAINED ON PREVIOUS PAGES.
After selecting the correct battery type, if the screen does not read “CHARGE”, use the
DEC or INC buttons to change it to the “CHARGE” mode.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN CHARGING YOUR BATTERY, MAKE SURE YOU ARE
CHARGING NIMH/NICD BATTERIES. CHARGING LiPO BATTERY UNDER
NIMH/NiCD BATTERY WILL CAUSE FIRE.
Press the ENTER button and the amp rate value will begin blinking.
Use the DEC or INC button to adjust the value to the desired rate.
Follow the instructions provided on your battery when setting the
charge current.
Press and hold the ENTER button for 3 seconds to start charging.
Once charging has commenced, the charger will display the fol-
lowing real-time information: battery type, charging current, battery
voltage, working mode, elapsed time and charged capacity. Once
the battery is fully charged, the screen will read “END: FINISHED”
and the charger will emit a ringing sound. You can press the STOP
button at any time during the charging process to stop charging.
NiMH/NiCd Auto Charge Mode :
In this mode, the charger automatically detects the connected NiMH or NiCD battery and
determines the proper full charge and cut-off thresholds. Setting the upper charge current
limit for safe levels based on your battery specifications will ensure safe charging of your
specific battery. If you are unsure of the maximum allowable charge rates, set the charger
to a maximum of 1C (battery mAh/1000, e.g. 3200mAh = 3.2A).
