d) Recharge Rechargeable Battery Again ("RE-PEAK")
The charger automatically ends charging of NiMH and NiCd rechargeable batteries when the rechargeable battery
is fully charged. Recognition of when the rechargeable battery is fully charged is according to the delta-U procedure.
The rechargeable battery programme "RE-PEAK" performs this recognition again. This way, you can not only ensure
that the rechargeable battery is truly fully charged, you can also check how well the rechargeable battery can take
quick charging.
Proceed as follows:
• First, charge the rechargeable battery completely (see chapter 11. b) or chapter 11. c)). Then select the recharge-
able battery programme "RE-PEAK".
• After you have set the rechargeable battery data and charge current, push the button "START" for 3 seconds.
• Aninputeldwillappear,indicatinghowoftentherecognitionprocessesforthedelta-Uchargingprocedureareto
be performed. Set the number with the "-" and "+" buttons.
• Keep the "START" button pushed again for 3 seconds to start the rechargeable battery programme "RE-PEAK".
The remaining operation corresponds to the rechargeable battery programme "CHARGE" (chapter 11. b).
e) Discharging Battery ("DISCHARGE")
ToputpartiallychargedNiMH/NiCdrechargeablebatteriesintoadenedstartingcondition,theycanbedischarged
with this rechargeable battery programme.
The maximum possible discharging current depends on the battery type, battery capacity and number of
cells. The max. discharge output of the charger is 10 W per channel. This limits the max. possible discharge
current of rechargeable batteries with multiple cells.
SpecicallyNiCdrechargeablebatteriesshouldnotberechargedfromapartiallydischargedcondition,sincethe
capacity may reduce by this (memory effect). This is usually not a problem in modern NiMH rechargeable batteries.
The rechargeable battery can also be used to measure the capacity of rechargeable batteries.
The procedure when setting the discharging current and voltage/cell number must be performed the same as when
charging, see chapter 11. b), except that the rechargeable battery is not charged, but discharged after starting the
rechargeable battery programme.
