charging current.
Stage 1. Charging.
Stage 2. Discharging.
Stage 3. End of discharge process. Charge is re-applied. At
this moment reading of measured capacity is available (by
pressing "Display" button).
Stage 4. End of test mode. Batteries are fully charged and
trickle charge is applied to maintain full charge of the
inserted batteries.
Pressing "Display" button will show various information – time, trickle
charging current, voltage level, measured capacity in mAh/Ah.
Quick test mode – determines the internal resistance of
the inserted cell (can be used also with the primary i.e.
alkaline batteries). The result is displayed in mΩ
(milliohms). For the proper results, the inserted cell
should not be empty (discharged). The test needs about
10s to complete. Please take a note that the result should
be considered as approximate – it may differ when
compared to a specialized laboratory tester. It is
recommended to repeat the test 2-3 times for each cell.
The test is performed correctly when the difference
between the following results is less than 30%.
The general rule for this test is: lower value is better.
