NiMH/NiCd Cycle Mode
The T400Q 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.
Additional NiMH/NiCd Process Information
During the NiMH/NiCd battery charging/discharging process, the T400Q can display a variety of
information. Using the INC or DEC buttons, you can also view the following information:

Once the Re-Peak process has begun, the charger will display the following real-
time information: battery type, charging current, battery voltage, elapsed time
and charged capacity. Once the Re-Peak process has completed, the screen will
read RE-PEAK FINISH and the charger will emit a ringing sound. The charger
will display the charged or discharged capacity of the last cycle.
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 andthen
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
ENTER/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 T400Q to run. The T400Q can cycle the battery a maximum of 5 times
consecutively. Press and hold the ENTER/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.
Once the Cycle process has completed, the screen will read CYCLES FINISH
and the charger will emit a ringing sound. The charger will display the charged or
discharged capacity of the last cycle.
