memory effect and lazy battery effect. Such cell will be
discharged to level of 0.9V. Please note that the cell stays
discharged after completing this process. Further action
will be needed to charge the cell.
Can be also used to discharge (test) primary (i.e. alkaline)
batteries. Please note that you should not try to recharge
primary, non-rechargeable batteries.
Each battery slot is individually controlled. The default
discharging current is 0.25A. In discharge mode available
values are: 0.25A/0.50A for each battery slot. After the
discharging is complete the LCD will show the discharge
capacity (for a brand new, fully charged cell, this should be
close to the manufacturer’s rated capacity), operation
time, voltage, and END indication.
This advanced function can be also used i.e. to test the self
discharge rate of the cells.
Cycle mode – a special combination of several charge and
discharge cycles. The charger tries to maximize the
capacity of older cells, which were not used for an
extended period of time. Can be used to initialize/form
new batteries and check their real capacity or to reduce
the memory / lazy battery effect. Please take note that
this process can take even few days to complete. At the
end of the process maximum cell capacity (from the
discharge stage) can be read from LCD display.
