NiMH/NiCd Cycle Mode:
The T200 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 T200 will display the charged/discharged
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 T200 to run. The T200
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, working mode,
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.
