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

b) Discharging accumulators ("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 accumulator):
NiMH DISCHARGE NiMH DISCHARGE NiMH DISCHARGE
NiMH DISCHARGE NiMH DISCHARGE
0.1A 0.1A
0.1A 0.1A 0.1A
• If the discharge current and the discharge voltage need to be set, press the "Start/Enter"
button. The discharge current blinks.
Change the discharge current using the buttons "INC" and "DEC", confirm the value using
the "Start/Enter" button. 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". Voltage values between 0.1V and 25.0V are possible.
When setting the voltage value, make sure that the cell voltage for NiMH may
not be below 1.0V, with NiCd not below 0.85V.
Otherwise the accumulator may be damaged!
• To begin the discharge process, keep the "Start/Enter" button pressed (approx. 3 seconds).
Now the display shows different information just like during the charge process (discharge
time, discharge capacity, discharge current and current accumulator voltage).
• If the settings are wrong, or if the charger detects a problem, an audio signal is emitted and
the appropriate information is shown on the display.
You can stop the audio signal by pressing the "Batt Type/Stop" button. You then return to
the previous configuration menu.
• If you press the button "Start/Enter" during the discharge process, the discharge current can
be changed (see above).
• Once the discharge process has been completed, an audio signal is emitted.

If you wish to terminate the discharge process beforehand, press the "Batt
Type/Stop" button.
0.1V 0.1V
