- After pressing the „Start/Stop" key, the battery connected is discharged to its
respective end discharge voltage of 1 V per cell using the programmed
discharge current.
- When the discharge process is completed, the respective channel LED flashes
in the display.
- The capacity discharged from the battery can be read in the display.
- The battery should then be charged as soon as possible. NiCd cells in particular
are prone to damage through further self-discharge if they are stored in a
discharged condition.
