7. NiMH/NiCd battery program
These programs are for charging or discharging NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydride) or
NiCd (Nickel-Cadmium) batteries commonly used for R/C model applications. To
alter the value at the display, press Start/Enter key to make it blink, then change
6.5 Discharging Lithium battery
The value of discharge current on the left side of
screen may not exceed 1C for a maximum safety,
the discharge current ranges from 0.1 to 2.0A and
the final voltage on the right should not be under the
voltage level that is recommended by the battery
manufacturer to avoid deep discharging.
To start to discharge, press Start/ Enter key for
more than 3 seconds.
This shows the present state of discharge. To stop
discharging press Batt type/Stop key once.
The processor found that the voltage of one of the
cell in the Lithium battery pack is too low.
In this case, the 4th cell is bad. If there happens the
connection-break of the cable or plug, the voltage
value may show zero.
6.6 Voltage balancing and monitoring during the discharge
The process or monitors the voltage of individual cells during 'storage-mode' and
'discharge' of Lithium battery pack. It tries to normalise the voltages to be equal.
For this feature, the individual plug of the battery pack should be connected to
the individual port of the charger.
If the voltage of any one or more cells varies abnormally during the procedure, It
terminates the process forcibly with the error massage. If this happens, the
battery pack contains the bad cell, or the bad connection of the cable plug. You
can easily know which one cell is bad by pressing INC button at time of showing
the error message.
