‘CHG.’ – CHARGE

This line shows the charge current and the delta-peak cut-off voltage. These values can be edited by pressing the ‘Enter’ button to highlight the parameter, then the ‘Inc’ and ‘Dec’ buttons to edit the value.

When charging NiCd and NiMH batteries, most chargers detect when the pack is fully charged by using a method called delta-peak. This monitors the voltage of the pack which increases as the pack becomes charged. When the pack is fully charged the pack starts to get warm and the voltage then starts to drop. The delta-peak cut-off voltage is the voltage drop (per cell) that is detected before the charger will stop the charge. The default delta-peak voltage setting for NiMH packs is 5mV/cell and for NiCd is 8mV/cell.

To start the charge function, press the ‘Enter’ button for 2 seconds with this line selected. The screen will then move to the charge type screen (see page 12).

n.b. The selected charge currents will not be used if ‘Automatic’ charge type is selected.

‘DCHG.’ - DISCHARGE

The discharge line shows the discharge current and the discharge cut-off voltage (per cell). The default cut-off voltage for NiCd/NiMH cells is 0.8V/cell.

Pressing the ‘Enter’ button for 2 seconds with this line selected will move to the discharge type selection screen.

n.b. The selected discharge current will not be used if ‘Automatic’ discharge type is selected.
