5. Modes of Operation
full charge into the battery at a very low rate. This process
activates the battery. In certain case, it needs to be repeated
two or three time. Charges battery at 0.1 C for 16 hours, rest
for one hour, discharges battery at 0.2 C, then recharges
again at 0.1 C for 16 hours.
5.5 Cycle
Performs charge-discharge cycle for up to 12 times. Cycle
mode can remove memory effect of rechargeable batteries.
This mode will recharge battery after fi nal cycle.
Battery Condition
NiMH batteries that have been used frequently
(at least once every two weeks)
Batteries in storage for more than two weeks but
less than 3 months
Batteries in storage for more than 3 months
Batteries showing poor performance
6. Operations Steps
1. Connect the power adapter DC connector to the charger
and then plug the power adapter into outlet (100-240 V
AC, 50/60 Hz).
3. When a new battery is inserted and detected, the battery
sign and "CHARGE" in correspond slot will blinking.
Use the "UP" and "DOWN" arrow buttons to toggle the
desired mode. Press "ENTER" to make the selection. If no
button is pressed within fi ve seconds, the charger will
proceed to the default mode which is charging with 1000
mA rate for AA battery and 400 mA rate for AAA battery.
4. If „CHARGE" mode is selected. The charger will prompt
for the charging rate by fl ashing "Charge Rate". Use
the "UP" and "DOWN" button to choose the desired
Default charging rate for AA battery is 1000 mA, for AAA battery is 400 mA.
5.6 Battery Rescue Steps
For batteries that do not perform favorably after using the
mode recommended above, the following sequence can be
applied:
1. Cycle for one to three times.
2. If capacity is still low, use Break-In mode.
3. If the step 1 to step 2 shows some capacity improvement
(> 10 %), repeat Break-In mode for one to three times.
If no signifi cant improvement, battery probably at end of
useful life.
