)F THIS CHARGE MODE IS SET TOP OFF CHARGE WILL AUTOMATICALLY START MINUTES AFTER FAST CHARGE HAS FINISHED
4OP /FF CHARGE IS ACTIVATED FOR MINUTES BUT IF PEAK IS DETECTED OR THE TEMPERATURE REACHES THE MAXIMUM SETTING TOP OFF CHARGE WILL AUTOMATICALLY END ( ###6 CHARGE MODE
## #ONSTANT #URRENT #6 #ONSTANT 6OLTAGE CHARGE MODE IS FOR ,I )ON ,I 0O BATTERIES ONLY
7HEN THE BATTERY REACHES 6CELL FOR ,I 0O AND 6CELL FOR ,I )ON CONSTANT CURRENT STOPS AND THE CHARGER STARTS DELIVERING CONSTANT VOLTAGE TO THE BATTERY
7HEN THE CHARGE CURRENT DROPS TO APPROX M! DURING CONSTANT VOLTAGE THE CHARGER BEEPS TO INDICATE THAT FAST CHARGE HAS FINISHED 4HE CHARGER WILL AUTOMATICALLY START h,I 0O TRICKLE CHARGEv INDICATED BY h4RKv ON THE SCREEN TO FULLY CHARGE THE BATTERY
7HEN THE TRICKE CHARGE CURRENT DROPS BELOW M! THE CHARGER WILL COMPLETLY STOP THE CHARGING h4RKv CHANGES TO h!v ) "ATTERY RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
4HE CHARGER WILL MEASURE THE INTERNAL RESISTANCE OF THE BATTERY MINUTES AFTER DISCHARGE HAS STARTED
)F THE BATTERY VOLTAGE IS LOWER THAN 6CELL FOR .I#D.I-( OR 6CELL FOR ,I )ON,I 0O BATTERIES THE CHARGER WILL NOT MEASURE THE RESISTANCE BECAUSE IT IS NOT VALUABLE TO MEASURE THE RESISTANCE WHEN THE VOLTAGE IS TOO LOW
