NiMH/NiCd Cycle Mode:
The Q200 makes cycling of NiMH/NiCd batteries easy. The process of discharging and
recharging (cycling) can be performed automatically with one simple step and will
improve the performance of NiMH/NiCd batteries. We strongly recommend cycling any
battery that has been discharged and stored for a period of time. This will increase the
remaining usable battery life and also improve the battery performance.

Once the cycling process is complete, the screen will read "END: CYCLE" and the
charger will emit a ringing sound. The Q200 will display the charge/discharge capacity for
each cycle. Using the + and - buttons, you can scroll through this data for each cycle.

NiMH/NiCd Battery Program
After selecting the correct battery type, use the INC or DEC
button to select the "CYCLE" mode. The Cycle Mode gives you
two cycling options: "DCHG>CHG" or "CHG>DCHG". The
"DCHG>CHG" option will first discharge the battery and then
recharge the battery.
The "CHG>DCHG" option will first charge the battery and then
discharge the battery. If this screen does not show your desired
cycling option, press the START button once and this setting will
begin flashing. Use the INC or DEC button to change this
setting.
Pressing the START button again will cause the cycle count to
begin flashing. Use the INC or DEC button to change this to the
number of cycles you want the Q200 to run. The Q200 can cycle
the battery a maximum of 5 times consecutively.
Press and hold the START button for 3 seconds to start the
Cycle Mode.
Once cycling has commenced, the charger will display the
following real-time information: battery type, charging/
discharging current, battery voltage, elapsed time and
charged/discharged capacity. You will also see "D>C" or "C>D".
This will indicate which cycling order you have chosen.
Either "D" or "C" will be flashing. This flashing indicates which
part of the cycle is currently being executed.
