f) Cycle Programme ("CYCLE")
To test rechargeable batteries, form new rechargeable batteries or refresh older rechargeable batteries, you can
perform up to 5 cycles in sequence automatically. The two possible combinations are "Charge/Discharge" and
"Discharge/Charge".
The discharge current used will be the value you have set in the charge programme
("DISCHARGE").
Proceed as follows:
•
Set the discharge current in the rechargeable battery programme "DISCHARGE" (see chapter 11. e).
•
Switch to the rechargeable battery programme "CYCLE". Set the rechargeable battery data (cell number, charge
current) here as usual.
•
Keep the button "START" pressed for 3 seconds.
• A new input field appears.
•
For "CYCLE COUNT", you can enter the cycle number (1....5), for how often the charging/discharging process is to
be performed.
•
In "MODE", you can set the sequence. "Chg>dChg" means "Charging/Discharging" and "dChg>Chg" means
"Discharging/Charging".
•
Keep the "START" button pushed again for 3 seconds to start the rechargeable battery programme.
The remaining operation corresponds to the rechargeable battery programme "CHARGE" (chapter 11. b).
