OPERATING MODES OF THE CHARGING UNIT

This powerful charging unit provides the following operating modes:

a.Charge the rechargeable battery (CHARGE) – to charge the rechargeable battery, automatically switches to trickle charge after the rechargeable battery is full.

b.Discharge then charge the rechargeable battery (DISCHARGE) – to discharge the rechargeable battery then charge it to minimize the memory effect.

c.Refresh the rechargeable battery (REFRESH) – to refresh the rechargeable battery to its maximum capacity by charging and discharging the rechargeable battery repeatedly until no further increase in the capacity is estimated. For old rechargeable batteries or those have not been used for a long time, refreshing may bring the rechargeable battery back to the optimum condition.

d.Check the rechargeable battery capacity in mAh/ Ah (TEST)
