I've had a couple of chargers with discharge capabilities but never the option to change the settings. My new 610 has that option but I didn't see any reccomendations as to what the settings might be per cell. Wondered if you had any reccomendations for the various battery chemistries popular now per cell. Specifically I am trying to set up to cycle a 2700 ma Nimh pack with 4 cells.

Thanks, Vince

Set the discharge rate to 1 amp. That is a good # to use because it is higher than the continous draw it will get as a rx pack. Set the cut off volatge to .8V per cell or 3.2V if a 4 cell pack.
