charged capacity (not actual cell's capacity), time, voltage and
charge percentage.
NOTE: we recommend that batteries with a capacity of less
than 1000mAh are charged only by using 500mA setting.
Charging with 1000mA current may shorten battery's life.
10. Discharge mode.*
Press the MODE button shortly to select DISCHARGE
mode. There are two discharge currents to choose: 200mA and
400mA. The end voltage depends on battery type. When the
entire process is completed the empty battery will occur next to
corresponding slot - C4. In this process the battery won't be
charged! It's not recommended to leave cells in discharge state.
Finished process is also indicated by 'End' label on LCD. For a
new, good quality cell the discharged capacity should be very
close to the rated capacity of the cell.
11. Refresh mode.*
It's a special combination of several charge and discharge
cycles. The charger tries to maximize the capacity of older cells,
which were not used for an extended period of time. It can be
used to initialize/form new batteries. Press the MODE button
shortly to select Refresh mode. The discharge current is strictly
connected to the charge current. For the 200mA and 500mA
charge current the discharge current will be 200mA, every other
higher current will cause higher discharge current which is
400mA. When the entire process is completed the full battery
will occur next to corresponding slot - C4. Finished process is
also indicated by 'End' label on LCD. For a new, good quality
cell the discharged capacity should be very close to the
rated capacity of the cell.
