Measure Discharge Voltage
In a typical battery load discharge test, you need to test the voltage of each battery in a
battery string multiple rounds. In a typical load discharge test, the voltage of each battery
is monitored from the start of the test when the batteries are at full capacity, until the
voltage of any one battery while under constant load reaches a pre-defined minimum
voltage level.
Make Measurements
To test discharge voltage:
1. Push M as necessary to enter Sequence mode.
2. Turn the rotary switch to Discharge VOLTS.
Note
Discharge voltage can only be measured in Sequence mode.
Typical Display
This is a typical display of discharge voltage measurement.

Progress bar: Indicates the number of the battery that is being tested.
Battery ID and Total Number: The number to the left of / indicates the ID of the battery
that has been tested. The number to the right of / indicates the total number of batteries
in the profile.
Round Number and Test Time: The row above the progress bar shows the round
number and the time when that test round was done.
Cursors: The number to the left of the progress bars indicates the ID of the battery that
corresponds to the cursor-pointed cell. Push  and  to move the cursors. The number
to the left of the progress bar changes accordingly. If the cursors are moved to a cell that
corresponds to a battery with readings, the readings show under the progress bar.
Average readings: After you have saved two or more sets of test readings, the Product
shows the average voltage reading in this round.
Push the Save softkey to save the current discharge voltage reading and the timestamp.
The current battery number and the progress number automatically increases by 1. The
cell that corresponds to the tested battery becomes full, and the cursors move forward.
Push the F3 softkey to start the next round test. The test time will show beside the round
number when the first reading is saved.
