Discharging Batteries ("Discharge") - VOLTCRAFT B6 Quadro Notice D'emploi

If the current value blinks, you can switch between manual and automatic mode by simultane-
ously pressing the buttons "INC" and "DEC".
In manual mode, the batteries are charged with the current you set.
In automatic mode, the charger calculates the charge current automatically, all you do
is set the top limit for the charge current. Shorter charging times can be achieved
depending on the battery and its internal resistance.
• Change the charge current (or in automatic mode, the top limit for the charge current) using the buttons
"INC" and "DEC" and confirm the value using the "START/ENTER" button. The number of cells is auto-
matically identified!
• To begin the charging process, keep the "START/ENTER" button pressed for longer (approx. 3 seconds).
• If the charger detects an error (e.g. no battery connected), a warning signal is emitted and correspond-
ing information appears on the display.
• You can stop the warning signal by pressing the "BATT.TYPE/STOP" button. You then return to the pre-
vious configuration menu.
• If the battery is detected correctly, the following display appears, :
for example:
1. Line: Battery type, charge current, battery voltage
2. Line: Current duration of charge, charged capacity in mAh
• Once the charging process is complete, an audio signal is emitted.
If you wish to terminate the charging process beforehand, press the "BATT TYPE/STOP"
button.
b) Discharging batteries ("DISCHARGE")
• After you have selected the "NiMH" or "NiCd" program in the main menu
with the button "BATT.TYPE/STOP" and confirmed this with the button
"START/ENTER", you can select the discharge function using the button
"INC" or "DEC" (illustration shows NiMH battery):
• If the discharge current and the discharge voltage need to be set, press the "START/ENTER" button.
The discharge current blinks.
• Change the charge current using the keys "INC" and "DEC" and confirm the value using the
"START/ENTER" key. You can set a value between 0.1A and 1.0A.
• Afterwards, the final discharge voltage blinks, which is also set with the buttons "INC" and "DEC". Volt-
age values between 0.1V and 25.0V are possible.
