These programs are for charging or discharging NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydride) or NiCd
(Nickel-Cadmium) battery commonly used for R/C model applications.
This program simply charges the battery using the
current you set. You can select charge current mode in
‘A’(automatic) or ‘M’(manual). In ‘Auto’ mode, you need
to set the upper limit of charge current to avoid from
higher feeding current that may damage the battery.
Because some batteries of low impedance and small
capacity can lead to the higher charge current by the
processor at automatic charge mode. But in 'Man'
mode, it will charge the battery with the charge current
you set at the display.
- Press ‘ENTER/START’ button to make ‘M’ or ‘A’
blinking.
- Change the current mode to ‘M’ or ‘A’ using ‘INC’ or
‘DEC’ button.
- Press ‘ENTER/START’ button to alter the charge
current.
- Change the current value using ‘INC’ or ‘DEC’ button.
- Press ‘ENTER/START’ button for more than 3
seconds to start charging.

Set discharge current on the left and final voltage on
the right. The discharge current ranges from 0.1 to
7.0A and the final voltage ranges from 0.1 to 30.0V).
To protect the battery from damage by deep
discharge, set the final cut-off voltage at safe range.
The minimum cut-off voltage is 0.85V/cell for NiCd and
1.0V/cell for NiMH. If you set the voltage as ‘AUTO’,
the charger will determine the final voltage depending
on the battery condition.
