The subsequent pressing of the mode key will enable to toggle between the “Charge”, “Discharge”, “Test”...
  • Page 6: Display Key

    DISPLAY key Press and release to select the displays of the charging current (in mA), time elapsed (in hh:mm), the terminal voltage (in V) and accumulated capacities (in mAh or Ah) during the charging or discharging process. To change the display content of a particular rechargeable battery, first press corresponding NUMBER key then press the DISPLAY key.
  • Page 7: Charge Mode

    those have not been used for a long times, refreshing may bring the rechargeable battery back to the optimum condition. Check the rechargeable battery capacity in mAh/ Ah (TEST) CHARGE MODE Charging at 200 mA is the default-operating mode of the charging unit. User may select a charging current of 200, 500 or 700 mA.
  • Page 8 Note: User shall always observe the recommended maximum charging current of the rechargeable batteries. In general, 200 mA is a recommended charging current if rapid charging is not necessary. It is definitely safe and optimum to the rechargeable batteries. It may be necessary to charge and discharge the new rechargeable batteries for several times in the beginning before the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries can be obtained.
  • Page 9 START CHARGING THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES Once a rechargeable battery is inserted after the transformer has been plugged to the power source, the battery voltage (for example, “1.39V”) will be displayed for 4 seconds. Then “200 mA Charge” (default mode) will be shown on LCD for another 4 seconds, indicating that charging with 200 mA is to be started if no alternation in setting is made.
  • Page 10 Charging current: 200 mA After 8 seconds from no more keys pressing, the LCD will blink once to indicate the setting is confirmed and Charge Mode the selected mode activated During charging, the different displays- Charging current (in mA), Time elapsed (in hh:mm), Terminal voltage (in V) and Accumulated capacities (in mAh or Ah) may be toggled and selected by pressing the DISPLAY key (refer Table 4).
  • Page 11 “Full” sign is shown -The battery is fully charged Note : The current cannot be altered once the setting has been confirmed in the initial stage. This can avoid the user changing the current setting accidentally while doing setting on other rechargeable batteries.
  • Page 12: Discharge Mode

    selecting all rechargeable batteries) or NUMBER key then MODE key (for selecting individual rechargeable battery). 8 seconds after the last key press the LCD will blink one time to indicate the end of changing. When overheating condition occurs (over about 53°C, usually due to too high a charging current selected), the charging will be stopped immediately and the display will shown “000 mA”, the charging process will only resume once the temperature of the rechargeable batteries drops to a safe level.

    Table 2. DISCHARGE MODE Current User-selected Discharging 100 mA 250 mA 350 mA current Thereafter Charging 200 mA 500 mA 700 mA current Finally batteries will be fully charged in discharge mode and “Full” will be displayed. If user presses DISPLAY key at this time, "charge" icon instead of "discharge" icon will be displayed. REFRESH MODE Old rechargeable batteries and those have not been used for a long time require refreshing.
  • Page 15 Discharging current: 250 mA Refresh mode (the battery is being discharged) Note: By pressing the MODE key within 8 seconds after inserting the rechargeable batteries, the Refresh mode can be selected. (The mode key shall first be pressed and held for about 1 second to activate the mode change.
  • Page 16: Test Mode

    TEST MODE In Test mode the rechargeable batteries will first be fully charged and then discharged to determine the capacities. Finally, the rechargeable batteries are charged up again and the capacity in (mAh) of (Ah) will be estimated and shown after the discharging ends. By pressing the MODE key within 8 seconds after inserting the rechargeable batteries, the Test mode can be selected.
  • Page 17 Table 3). Table 3. TEST MODE Current User-selected Charging 200 mA 500 mA 700 mA current Thereafter Discharging 100 mA 250 mA 350 mA current The maximum charging current is 700 mA. After the test mode is finished, the display will shift between the “Full” sign and the battery capacity (in mAh or Ah) automatically in 3-second intervals until the rechargeable batteries are removed.
  • Page 18: Trickle Charging

    TRICKLE CHARGING After the rechargeable battery is fully charged in any of the operating modes, the charger will give a small amount of current to the rechargeable batteries to maintain the fully charged level. This mode is automatically launched after rechargeable batteries are fully charged and kept at the charging unit.
