CYCLE
The cycle mode allows the user to both charge and discharge a battery a number of times, in order to bring it back to peak performance.
Dependant on the final charge state required, you have the options to discharge then charge (D>C) or charge then discharge (C>D) the pack. In addition, the number of cycles and the delay between charging or discharging can be set.
n.b. When cycling a battery, the charger will use Automatic charge and discharge currents.
To start the Cycling you pack, hold the ‘Enter’ button down for 2 seconds.
‘MAX. CAPACITY’ – MAXIMUM CAPACITY
The maximum capacity setting is used to terminate a charge if the charger exceeds the selected percentage of the battery capacity.
‘PEAK DELAY’ – START PEAK DELAY
When charging a NiCd or NiMH type pack using
‘TRI. CURRENT’ - TRICKLE CHARGE CURRENT
With NiCd and NiMH type batteries, it is recommended that the pack is trickle charged after the main charge has completed, so that the battery is kept fully charged and is ready to be used. Therefore, we suggest setting the trickle charge current to around 10% of the pack capacity.
