Step 1:
Discharging with C
1
until a voltage of 1 V for each cell is reached.
Step 2:
Afterwards discharging with C
10
until a voltage of 0.5 V for each cell is reached.
The connection of an automatic cell scan adapter is required:
Step 3:
Deep discharging with device integrated 1 Ohm resistors over each cell for 12 hours.
End of program
Example:
Connected is a 24 V battery with 40 Ah.
The battery is discharged with 40 A to 20 V. Continue discharging with 4 A to 10 V.
After that 1 Ohm resistors are shifted over the cells.
Time monitoring:
Discharging with C
1
maximum 90 minutes, discharging with C
10
maximum 180 minutes.
