Discharging NiMH/NiCd batteries 'DISCHARGE'
This battery programme can be used to bring partially charged NiMH/NiCd batteries to a
defined initial state or to measure the battery capacity. NiCd batteries in particular should not
be recharged when partially charged as doing so can reduce their capacity (memory effect).
The maximum possible discharging current depends on the battery type and num-
ber of cells. The maximum discharging power is 10 W.
• To discharge a NiMH or NiCd battery, proceed as follows:
Select the desired battery programme for the battery type
(NiMH/NiCd) – 'DISCHARGE'.

Charging and discharging cycles of NiMH/NiCd batteries 'NiMH CYCLE' and 'NiCd CYC-
LE'
To test batteries, form new batteries or refresh older batteries, you can automatically perform
up to 5 charging/discharging cycles in automatic succession. The two possible combinations
are 'Charge/Discharge' ('CHG>DCHG') and 'Discharge/Charge' ('DCHG>CHG'). This mode
uses the charging/discharging current that you configured in the charging ('CHARGE') and
discharging ('DISCHARGE') programmes. The number of cycles determines how often the set
sequence of charging and discharging cycles or discharging and charging cycles is carried out.

Measuring the cell resistance
The following is a graphical representation of how cell resistance measurement works:
Programme memory, saving battery data 'BATT MEMORY'
The charger has a data memory. The charger has 10 memories in which you can save battery
data/settings. These can be retrieved again later if necessary, so that the settings do not have
to be implemented again every time.
The following settings can be stored in the memory:
Different setting functions are available according to the set battery type (LiPo, Li-
ion, LiFe, NiMH, NiCd, Pb). For example, the setting function for the charging end
voltage per cell is only available for lithium batteries.
Select the battery type first, and then the other data, to ensure that the charger
displays the correct setting functions.
Battery type
Select the battery type (LiPo, Li-ion, LiFe, NiMH, NiCd or Pb).
As stated above, the battery type must be selected first to ensure that the charger
displays the correct setting functions.
Battery voltage
This setting allows you to set the battery voltage for the selected battery type.
It is not possible to set just any voltage; the increment size depends on the rated
voltage of an individual cell of the respective battery type. For example, if the rated
voltage of a cell in a LiPo battery is 3.7 V, the voltage can only be adjusted in incre-
ments of 3.7 V (3.7 V, 7.4 V, 11.1 V etc.).
Select the desired battery programme for the battery type
– 'NiMH CYCLE' or 'NiCd CYCLE'.
You can set the sequence (Charge>Discharge or
Discharge>Charge) on the left and the number of cycles
on the right. You can set from 1 to 5 cycles.
