c) Discharging Battery ("DISCHARGE")
To put partially charged lead batteries into a defined starting condition, they can be discharged with this rechargeable
battery programme.
The maximum possible discharging current depends on the battery type, battery capacity and number of
cells. The max. discharge output of the charger is 10 W per channel. This limits the max. possible discharge
current of rechargeable batteries with multiple cells.
The rechargeable battery can also be used to measure the capacity of rechargeable batteries.
The procedure when setting the discharging current and voltage/cell number must be performed the same as when
charging, see chapter 12. b), except that the rechargeable battery is not charged, but discharged after starting the
rechargeable battery programme.
