These programs are for charging or discharging NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydride) or NiCd
(Nickel-Cadmium) batteries commonly used for R/C model applications. To alter the
value at the display, press the Start/Enter key to make it flash, then the value needs to
be adjusted using the INC> or <DEC keys. The value will be stored by pressing the
Start/Enter key once.
To start the process, press and hold the Start/Enter button for more than 3 seconds.
Charging NiCd/NiMH Battery
Set the discharge current on the left hand side of the
screen and the final voltage on the right hand side.
The discharge current ranges from 0.1 - 5.0A and the
final voltage ranges from 0.1 - 25.0V. In order to start
the process, press and hold the Start/Enter key for
more than 3 seconds.
When the screen displays the current state of
discharge, it is possible to alter the discharge current
by pressing the Start/Enter key during the process.
Once the current value has been changed it can be
stored by pressing Start/Enter button again. To stop
discharging, press the Batt.Type/ Stop key once.
The audible sound will indicate the end of the
process.
Discharging NiCd/NiMH Battery
This program simply charges the battery using
the current that has been set in 'Auto' mode, the
upper limit of charge current will need to be set to
avoid feeding a high current that may damage the
battery. Some batteries with a small capacity can
have a higher charge current from the processor in
automatic charge mode. Whilst in 'Man' mode, the
battery will be charged to the set limit on the display.
Each mode can be switched by pressing the INC>
and <DEC buttons simultaneously when the current
field is flashing.
The screen displays the current state of charging.
To stop this process, press the Batt. Type/Stop key
once. The audible sound should indicate the end of
the process.
