Set discharge current on the left and final voltage 
on the right. The discharge current ranges from 
0.1 to 5.0A. To start the process, press 

Start/Enter

 key for more than 3 seconds.

The screen displays the current state of 
discharge. You can alter the discharge current by 
pressing

 Start/Enter

 key during the process. 

Once you change the current value, store it by 
pressing 

Start/Enter

 button again. 

To stop discharging press 

Batt type/Stop

 key 

once. The audible sound indicates you at the end 
of process.

B8+ has a data storage and load program for your convenience. This feature can store 
up to 10 battery data by number that represent the individual specification of batteries 
you are using. They can be called back for the process of charging or discharging 
without setting up the program again. To set up the parameter value in the program, 
press 

Start/Enter

 key to make it blink then change the value with 

Inc> or <Dec

 key.

The parameter value setting up in this screen does 
not affect charge or discharge process. They only 
represent the specification of the battery. The 
following screens will automatically be displayed 
exactly matched with the battery type you set up. 
The example shows the battery pack of NiMH, 12 
cells and 3000mAh of capacity.

Set up the charge current for manual charge mode, 
or the current limit for automatic charge mode. Each 
mode can be switched by pressing 

Inc> and <Dec

 

button at the same time when the current field is 
blinking.
