nIMh anD nICD DISChargE PrOgraMS
These programs are only suitable for discharging NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydride) or
NiCd (Nickel-Cadmium) batteries associated with R/C model applications. Do not try to
discharge any other type of battery using this program.
This program discharges the battery using the current you set, the charge current ranges from 0.1 to
1A.
how to discharge:
1. Choosing the right program:
niMh Batteries: Select “PROGRAM SELECT NiMH BATT” from the main menu then select “NiMH
DISCHARGE” from the NiMH BATT menu by pressing the “INC/DEC” buttons.
niCd Batteries: Select “PROGRAM SELECT NiCd BATT” from the main menu then select “NiCd
DISCHARGE” from the NiCd BATT menu by pressing the “INC/DEC” buttons.
The display should look similar to this:
2. The NiMH and NiCd discharge processes can be “Aut” (Automatic) or manual. To toggle between
“Aut” and manual setting Press the “Start/Enter” button twice to make the voltage field flash and
then press the “INC and “DEC” buttons to scroll through the voltage AUTO is the first setting.
3. Manual: The current field in the manual setting is discharge current and the voltage field is final
pack voltage. If you need to alter the discharge current or voltage press the “Start/Enter” button
to make it blink then change the value with “DEC” or “INC” button. The value will be stored by
pressing the “Start/Enter” button.
automatic: The current field in the automatic setting is upper limit of discharge current and the
final voltage will be determined by the number of cells in the pack (for example a 5 cell NiMH final
voltage will be 5V (1V/cell)). You need to set the upper limit of discharge current to avoid over
discharging the battery and damaging it. If you need to alter the charge current press the “Start/
Enter” button to make it blink then change the value with “DEC” or “INC” button. The value will be
stored by pressing the “Start/Enter” button.
4. Once the settings are correct press and hold the “Start/Enter” button to begin the charge process.
The display will now show similar to the following:
5. The charger will emit a sound to inform you when the charge process is complete. To stop the
charge process early press the “Batt type/Stop” button.
