8. Cycling a battery
Battery cycling will make charge/discharge cycles to your battery; this is useful
to restore its performance after long periods of storage for example. The cycling
function uses the same parameters as those that have been setup for charge or
discharge.
1) Connect the battery
Make sure that the battery is properly connected to the charger, charge leads
and balancing connector (if available) and that the parameters are compatible
with your battery.
2) Press and hold CYCLE

After pressing and holding the cycle button and if no problems are detected a
new screen will be displayed where you can choose the number of cycle and
what type of cycle you want to make.

9. Battery balancing
This function is meant for LiPo, LiFe or LiIon batteries. You can use this function
to check the current charge status of your batteries. If the battery is unbalanced
(uneven voltage between the cells) the charger will equalize the cell's voltage.
1) Connect the battery
Make sure that the battery is properly connected to the charger, charge
leads and balancing connector and that the parameters are compatible with
your battery.
2) Press and hold BALANCE
Press and hold the balance button, the battery check screen will be displayed.

10. Battery storage
This function will charge or discharge the battery to an optimal level to limit
potential damage to the battery due to storage. With LiPo/LiFe/LiIon batteries the
charger will either charge or discharge the battery so they reach the optimal
level. With NiMH/NiCd the charger will first discharge the battery and then
recharge it to 50% of the user adjusted capacity. The storage function uses the
same parameters as those that have been setup for charge or discharge.
1) Connect the battery
Make sure that the battery is properly connected to the charger, charge leads and
balancing connector (if available) and that the parameters are compatible with
your battery.
2) Press and hold STORAGE
Press and hold the storage button, the battery check screen will be displayed.
