its voltage falls to the set final discharge voltage (0.5 ...

should be a value of around 0.8 ... 1 V per cell, in order to
avoid the pack becoming deep-discharged. Deep-
discharging a pack runs the risk of reversing individual
cells, i.e. they exhibit reversed polarity.

number of cycles from 1 to 5 (e.g., if you set three cycles,
the pack will be charged and discharged three times). The

the proven Delta Peak principle (also

DEC
This process analyses the voltage peak of the charge curve, which indicates with great
accuracy when the maximum charge capacity is reached.When the charge process is started
the battery voltage initially rises continuously, but as the pack approaches full capacity it begins
to heat up. This in turn causes the battery voltage to fall slightly (Delta-V). The charger detects
and assesses the voltage decline.It is possible to adjust the sensitivity, or trigger voltage (in mV
per cell!) of the automatic cut-off circuit for Ni-Cd batteries. A practical range of values has
proved to be 10 ... 30 mV / cell. Higher voltages often lead to overcharging of the battery,
whereas a lower voltage tends to result in premature termination of the charge process. We
recommend that you check the information supplied by your battery manufacturer, then carry
out a series of test charges to establish the optimum value for your battery.

A set of convenient charge programs for recharging Nickel-Metal-Hydride batteries, as
commonly used for modelling purposes. When the charge / discharge program is finished, the
screen displays the name of the charge program alternating with the message „END", together
with the charge time, the last (dis-) charge current, the charged-in (discharged) capacity and
the battery voltage, and continues to do so until you disconnect the battery. This information can
often give you a useful indication about the Ni-MH pack's charge characteristics and capacity, or
warn you if the charger has incorrectly assessed the pack as being „full".
