C) Discharging Rechargeable Batteries ("Discharge") - VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 100 DUO Bedienungsanleitung

c) Discharging Rechargeable Batteries ("DISCHARGE")

This rechargeable battery program can be used to put partially charged lead batteries into a
defined starting condition or to perform a measurement of the rechargeable battery capacity.
The maximum possible discharging current depends on the battery type and number
of cells. The max. discharging capacity for output #1 is 10 W; 5 W are available for
output #2. This limits the max. possible discharging current in rechargeable batteries
with multiple cells.
Proceed as follows to discharge a lead battery:
• Fist, choose the rechargeable battery type "Pb BATT" with the buttons "INC" and "DEC" as
described in chapter 13. a) and briefly push the button "START/ENTER".
• Select the rechargeable battery programme "DIS-
CHARGE" with the button "INC" or "DEC".
The set rechargeable battery type is shown in the up-
per left of the display, and the rechargeable battery
programme next to it.
The value on the lower left shows the currently set discharging current, the value on the right
shows the voltage or number of cells of the lead battery (in this example, a 6-cell lead battery
(6 x 2.0 V = 12.0 V)).
Use the button "INC" or "DEC" to select a different rechargeable battery programme;
use the button "BATT. TYPE/STOP" to return to the main menu.
• If the value for the discharging current must be changed, briefly push the "START/ENTER"
button. The discharging current flashes.
• Change the discharging current using the button "INC" or "DEC". Keep the respective button
pressed for quick adjustment.
Briefly push the "START/ENTER" button to confirm the set discharging current.
• When no display is flashing anymore, keep the "START/ENTER" button pushed (approx.
3 seconds), to start discharging.
If the settings are wrong, or if the charger detects a problem, an audio signal is emit-
ted and the appropriate information is shown on the display. You can stop the warning
signal by pressing the "BATT. TYPE/STOP" button. The charger then returns to the
previous configuration menu.
