Chargers & dischargers (continued)
Keene Electronics Pro series camcorder
battery dischargers
Keene dischargers use a slope
discharge method which slowly
reduces the current drawn as
the cut off point is approached,
achieving the maximum benefit
from the discharge.
Pro series dischargers are
guaranteed to cut off at the
critical voltage. What’s more,
they’re covered by a 3 year replacement warranty. With slow charger,
awarded ‘Best Accessory 1994’ by What Camcorder

Dischargers - what do they do and why do I need one?
(This relates to NiCd & NiMH packs only)
In an ideal world, you charge the battery using the fast charger supplied
with the camcorder, use it until the camcorder's battery indicator comes
on, remove, store until next required, charge and so on. Such a sequence
will give reasonable battery life, but in practice it can be very hard to
follow. There's always a time when not all the battery's charge has been
used, and you return with part- or even fully charged batteries. These
need discharging before storage. A partly used battery should never be
recharged, as this can lead to a condition known as nicad 'memory effect'
where only part of the battery's capacity can be used.
This creates a need to periodically discharge your batteries, but this is
not as simple as might first appear. Due to the chemistry of the cells, no
cell should be discharged below a critical voltage otherwise permanent
chemical change, and damage to the battery, can occur. Keene
Electronics Dischargers gently and slowly discharge the battery down to
the correct critical voltage and then switch off automatically. This level of
discharge cannot effectively be reached by use in the camcorder, which
will show the 'battery' indication when there is still enough life in the
battery to unlace the tape and eject it.
