saved to the BID chip or key: navigate to the "Store" line, and press
the "START / ENT." button to save the data.
If the BID chip or key has already been operated with another char-
ger, the data are naturally adopted. However, if the set parameters
are not compatible with the E7 charger (charge / discharge current,
cell count, capacity), an error message appears, and you have to re-
enter the data.
16.1 STARTING CHARGE / DISCHARGE PROCESSES WITH
BID CHIP / KEY
When you have edited and saved the BID data, the "BID EDIT"
screen display appears. Processes are initiated from this display.
This is accomplished by holding the "START / ENT." button
pressed in for at least two seconds. The various modes (CHARGE,
DISCHARGE, STORAGE, FAST-CHARGE, BALANCE, etc.) are
then displayed.
The procedure is identical to that required for starting a process for
one of the twenty memories ("Memory name" menu). The same
set-up facilities and parameters are available.
After highlighting the desired process using the "+" or "-" but-
tons, hold the "START / ENT." button pressed in for at least two
seconds to start.
16.2 READING OUT THE DATA ON A BID CHIP
If you wish to read out the saved data, you must first press the
"STOP / ESC" button. This display now shows the maximum
charged-in and discharged capacity of all the charge / discharge
processes involving this battery.
Note:
The data cannot be displayed if any process (charging, dischar-
ging, etc.) is currently active.
The illustration shows a typical screen display, which gives you a
means of estimating the values for your battery, and accurately
assessing the overall state of the pack . No additional equipment,
such as a PC with the appropriate software, is required.

moment a capacity of 1000 mAh has been charged in.
• The highest discharged capacity was 600 mAh. At the moment
a capacity of 500 mAh has been discharged.
