C) Discharging Batteries ("Discharge") - VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 300 TOUCH Handbuch

• Another input window appears when you
push the button "MORE".
For "CHARGE", a maximum cell voltage can
be set when charging.
For "DISCHARGE", you can set the minimum
cell voltage when discharging.
• If you push the button "START" for the dura-
tion of 3 seconds, the charger will review the
connected rechargeable battery (the display
will show "CHECK BATTERY.....").
Charging starts when everything is OK.
If errors are found (e.g. if no rechargeable battery is connected), the corresponding message
will be displayed. The button "BACK" will return you to the previous menu in that case.
• When charging is complete, the charger will emit a sound and a summary of the charging
process will appear.

c) Discharging batteries ("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 capac-
ity and number of cells. The max. discharge output of the charger is 25 W. 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 per-
formed 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.
