7. NiMH/NiCd battery programs
This program charges the battery using the
charge current set by the user. In 'Aut' mode, you
must set the charge current limit to prevent the
charger feeding too much current into the battery,
which could cause damage. In 'Man' mode, the
battery will be charged with the charge current set
by the user. You can change the mode by
pressing INC and DEC button simultaneously
when the current field is blinking.
The discharge current is shown on the left and the
voltage of the pack on the right. The discharge
current ranges from 0.1A to 1.0A and the final
voltage ranges from 0.1V to 25.0V). You can alter
the parameters by pressing Start/Enter. Once
the correct values have been input, press
Start/Enter again to store the values. To start the
process, hold Start/Enter for 3 seconds.
This screen shows the present position of the
