The value of discharge current on the left side of
screen may not exceed 1C for a maximum safety.
The final voltage at the end of discharge is on the
right according to the cell count and type of battery.
For LiPo, it is 3.0V/cell.
To start to discharge press ‘ENTER/START’ button
for more than 3 seconds.

* Voltage monitoring during the discharge
The charger monitors the voltage of individual cells during discharge mode of
Lithium battery pack. For this feature, the individual plug of the battery pack should
be connected to the individual port of the charger. If the voltage of any one or more
cells varies abnormally during discharge, BC8HP terminates the process forcibly with
the error message. If this happens, the battery pack contains a bad cell, or bad
connection of the cable or plug. You can easily know which one cell is not normal by
pressing ‘INC’ button at time of showing the error message.

BATTERY VOL ERR
CELL LOW VOL
The processor found that the voltage of one of
the cell in the Lithium battery pack is too low.
In this case, the 4th cell is bad. If there happens
the connection-break of the cable or plug, the
voltage value may show zero.

* Discharge current limit by circuit power
For the voltage of battery is more than 3.6V, the actual amount of discharge current
may be limited automatically, not to exceed the charger's maximum rated discharging
power of 25 watts.
