- Cycle mode : Set the sequence of performing program.
CHG>DCHG; The charger starts with charging process,
after the battery will be discharged again.
DCHG>CHG; It starts with discharging process, after which
the battery will be charged again.
- No. cycles : The number of cycles in the process. (1~10 times)
- Waste time : To avoid the battery from rising temperature caused by the internal chemical reactions,
there should be a brief cool-off time between cycles. (0~60 minutes)

Discharging NiCd/NiMH battery
- Dchg. curr. (Discharge current) : Set the discharge current. (0.1 ~ 5.0A)
- Dchg. mode (Discharge mode) : Set the discharge mode which the charger will work with.
Manual; The charger will stop discharging at the time when the voltage drops to the final voltage set at
next parameter-’Dchg volt’.
Auto; The process will be finished, when the voltage drops to 0.90V per cell.
- Dchg. volt (Discharge volt) : Set the final voltage which the battery will reach at the end of discharge.
The default value is 0.90V/cell. (0.1 ~ 1.2V/cell)

Cautions for NiMH batteries
- Do not allow NiMH batteries to over-heat. Using the battery cooler will prevent over-heating at
charge and discharge.
- Small size batteries like ‘AAA’, ‘AA and ‘A can safely be full charged at currents up to 1.0C.
Higher charge current can easily over-heat batteries and thus damage batteries.
- NiMH batteries have higher self-discharge rate compare to NiCd, so it is necessary to
recharge the battery immediately prior to use.
- Store NiMH batteries with some voltages remaining.
