NiCD/NiMH Battery Program [cont.]
NiCD/NiMH Auto Charge Mode:
In this mode, the charger automatically detects the connected NiMH or NiCD
battery and determines the proper full charge and cuto thresholds. Setting the
upper charge current limit for safe levels based on your battery specications
will ensure safe charging of your specic battery. If you are unsure of the
maximum allowable charge rates, set the charger to a maximum of 1C (battery
mAh/1000, i.e., 2500mAh = 2.5A).
