Default RE: Help on using ice charger

The problem with these fancy chargers are to many options. First if this is the first time set charge at C/10 or in your case min 0.1 A set max capacity at 700mAH set delta max “peak sens” 15mV.This will formation charge your new batteries. If you bought a temp probe set at 120 deg F this lower than you need. Discharge at C/5 for first 2 cycles again min 0.1A per cell 0.9V discharge Volts. ,,Trickle OFF =0,, cycle 1 first until used for a while,, mode D to C,, delay 15 min is typ,, peak delay 5 minute.

Press button select cycle press again. Do this 2 to 3 cycles take of couple days write down the discharge cap. to save, at 80% cap. next year check if batteries are going bad. Now you can change to setting to fast peak charge. Current to 0.5 A and peak sens at 3 to 5mV and charge after using battery after 10 or so recharges you can just push cycle and to check pack out and keep in top condition.
Rich ……..hope that this helps some.
