Discharging a Lithium battery
In this mode, you can set the target per-cell voltage and hence the final voltage (final voltage=cell vol1age'numbcrof cells).
The lowest allowable cell voltage depends on the type ofLithium battery; 2.SOV for Lila, 3.00V for Li Po and 2.00V for Li Fe
per cell. If the battery is connected to the balance port, the charger can monitor the individual cell voltages. The discharge
will stop immediately if any cell falls below the configured final voltage.
Discharge Lithium battery. The left side of the first line set the type of battery(LiPo, Lila
or Li Fe) and the value on the right side shows the final discharge voltage of each cell. The
value on the left side of second line sets the charge current and the value on the right side
of second line sets the cell count and voltage of the battery pack. After setting the current

and voltage, press Start/Enter for more than 3 seconds to start the next process.
Per-ct>ll final voltage: LiPo(3.00 -4.20V), Lilo(2.50 -4. JOY). LiFe(2.00 -3.60V)

Note:
If you con[)ect the balance port at the beginningofthe dischargingprocess, then the balance port
will
monitor each
cell' s voltage, if one of these cells' voltage reaches the termination voltage then the process will terminate with
"balance port low cell vol" . For example in Li Po mode, if one cell' s voltage reaches 3.0V the process will stop
!f you want to avoid this "balance port low cell vol• message. then you can connect the balance port after the discharge
process has started. In that case the process won• t monitor each cell' s voltage just the pack' s voltage and the discharge
process will terminate when the pack voltage reaches the termination voltage(=target_cell_vohageX number_of_cells).
For example in Li Po mode, the discharge process won' t terminate until the pack' s voltage reach N•3.0V.
