Keith, Well I’ll do my best to answer your questions, I know very little about electronics. But now if you want to know about building houses…

1. It has a switch to discharge at either 250 mAh or 500 mAh. Weather its constant; there is nothing in the manual to indicate it’s programmed to fluctuate. As for testing for constant DC or accuracy, have not done that or know how.

2. ?

3. It’s a 15-hour time limit charge, no peak detection. If you want to know the type or style of the internal timer, I wouldn’t know what to tell you even if I opened the unit.

4. The ‘manual says’ it discharges down to 1.05 volts per cell.

The 15% figure was calculated by a member of our club that is much more knowledgeable about this stuff than me or the guy I bought it from. So when I acquired the unit I was told to add 15% to the numbers. I’m going to assume the 15% number was determined by cycling various packs with this unit then with a known good cycling unit, not sure.


SuperStick , Agreed! I needed a battery cycler and the price was right on this one. I'm holding hope for a Litco, so everybody reading this please find something else to do on the next open ordering date. Thank you!
