f) Discharging Battery ("DISCHARGE")
Normally, it is not necessary to discharge lithium batteries (contrary to NiCd batteries) before charging. The battery
can be charged immediately, independent of its current status. If you want to discharge a rechargeable lithium battery
anyway, you can set the discharge current.
The maximum possible discharging current depends on the battery type, battery capacity and number of
cells. The max. discharge output of the charger for channel 1 is 25 W, and for channels 2 and 3 it´s 10 W
each. This limits the max. possible discharge current for rechargeable batteries with multiple cells.
Discharge a lithium rechargeable battery only to the minimum permitted voltage per cell (see table in
chapter 7 or observe information of the rechargeable battery manufacturer). If the rechargeable battery is
discharged any further, this deep discharge will permanently damage it and render it useless!
The procedure when setting the discharging current and voltage/cell number must be performed the same as when
charging, see chapter 11. b), except that the rechargeable battery is not charged, but discharged after starting the
rechargeable battery programme.
After starting the discharging process, various information about the current
progress is shown in the display.
At the upper left, the rechargeable battery type and the cell number are dis-
played ("LP3s" = LiPo rechargeable battery with 3 cells); the discharging cur-
rent is shown in the upper middle and the current rechargeable battery voltage
at the upper right.
The lower left shows the current rechargeable battery programme ("DSC" = "DISCHARGE"), the middle the elapsed
discharging time and the discharged capacity is mAh is displayed to the right of this.
The final discharge voltage differs depending on the battery type and already present in the charger.
• LiPo: 3.0 V per cell
• LiIon: 2.9 V per cell
• LiFe: 2.6 V per cell
• LiHV: 3.2 V per cell
If a rechargeable battery with multiple cells is connected via the balancer connections, pushing the "INC."
button while discharging will display the individual cell voltages. Push the "START/ENTER" button to return
to the normal display.
