I put some new batteries on cycle charge under the default settings for the 720i hyperion charger Charge/Discharge and set it for 4 cycles. This is the first time I had ever done this. The discharge current was also set at default for the battery (only very low) and the intention was to break the batteries in as they were new. Here is the kicker. It was taking ages for the discharge cycle so I scrolled through the hyperion display and saw the battery voltage as 3.1 volts! . Boy was I distressed, immediately took them off the cycle and then put them on standard slow charge.
Looking at the manual, it states that the dis charge voltage can be set - but don't set it too low otherwise damage to the battery could result. Well I did not set it, it was left at default.
Now my question is why would Hyperion have default settings such that it is way below recommended discharge settings for the battery. Or is because the battery is not under load being discharged to 3.1v ok?. There were no warnings, nothing - just a regular charge/discharge cycle.
All cells came up to 4.2 volt and resistance seems ok but I am still bewildered and wondered if I have damaged the packs.
Question? Hyperion Charge/discharge Cycle Damages Packs Under Default?
