START/ENTER
After selecting the correct battery type, use the INC or DEC button
to select the “CYCLE” mode. The Cycle Mode gives you two cycling
options: “DCHG>CHG” or “CHG>DCHG“. The “DCHG>CHG” option
will first discharge the battery and then recharge the battery.
The “CHG>DCHG” option will first charge the battery and then dis-
charge the battery. If this screen does not show your desired cycling
option, press the START button once and this setting will begin
flashing. Use the INC or DEC button to change this setting.
Pressing the START button again will cause the cycle count to begin
flashing. Use the INC or DEC button to change this to the number
of cycles you want the ULTIMA 400 DUO to run. The ULTIMA 400
DUO can cycle the battery a maximum of 5 times consecutively.
Press and hold the START button for 3 seconds to start the Cycle
Mode.
Once cycling has commenced, the charger will display the following
real-time information: battery type, charging/ discharging current,
battery voltage, working mode,elapsed time and charged/discharged
capacity. You will also see “D>C“ or
“C>D“. This will indicate which cycling order you have chosen. Either
“D“ or “C“ will be flashing. This flashing indicates which part of the
cycle is currently being executed.
NiMH/NiCd Cycle Mode :
The ULTIMA 400 DUO makes cycling of NiMH/NiCd batteries easy. The process of
discharging and recharging (cycling) can be performed automatically with one simple step
and will improve the performance of NiMH/NiCd batteries. We strongly recommend cycling
any battery that has been discharged and stored for a period of time. This will increase the
remaining usable battery life and also improve the battery performance.
Once the cycling process is complete, the screen will read “END: CYCLE” and the charger
will emit a ringing sound. The ULTIMA 400 DUO will display the charged/discharged capacity
for each cycle. Using the + and - buttons, you can scroll through this data for each cycle.
