CHARGE/DISCHARGE AND DISCHARGE/CHARGE CYCLE OF NICD/NIMH BATTERY

Charge/discharge and discharge/charge cycle of NiCd/NiMH battery
You can set up sequence on the left and the number of cycles on the
right. Range of the cycle number is 1-5.
Press BATT TYPE/STOP key to stop program, you can press
START/ENTER key to alter charge current. The sound indicates the
end of program.

CHARGING PB (LEAD-ACID) BATTERY IN THE CHARGE MODE

Charging Pb (lead-acid) battery in the charge mode
This program is only suitable for charging Pb lead-acid battery with nominal voltage from 2 to 24V.
Pb lead-acid battery is completely different from NiCd/NiMH battery. These batteries can only
deliver current lower in comparison to their capacity. The same restriction applies to the charging
process. Consequently, the optimum charge current can only be 1/10 of the capacity. Pb battery can
not be used for fast-charging, please follow the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
Due to the chemistry characteristic of Pb battery, the cut off point may be difficult to detect sometimes.
We recommend user to use CAPACITY CUT OFF feature to protect the battery. You can press START/
ENTER key to make it blink and alter the value of parameters using INC or DEC key, press START/
ENTER key to store the value.
Set up the charge current on the left and nominal voltage on the right.
Range of current is 0.1-10.0A, the voltage should match the battery being
charged. Press START/ENTER key for more than 3 seconds to start
charging.
The screen displays the real-time discharging status. Press START/
ENTER key to alter discharge current. Press START/ENTER key again
to store the parameter value you set. Press BATT TYPE/STOP key to
end the program.
