1 Cycle as described by southwell. You should really buy a balancing/discharge tray rather than use this function, your batteries will be more equall.
2Cycle delay the time you set the charger to wait between cycles (not needed)
3 If you do use the charger to discharge set it to 10 amps, but as said trays are better.
4 Peak sensitivity As the batteries are charged they reach their peak and drop off a little, You charger will detect fluctuations so set it at no more than 5mV/cell as on page 9 of your inst book. Any higher will damage your batteries.
5 Charge current. Basic rule of thumb charge at 1c so with your 5100mah batteries set the charge rate to no more than 5.1 amps. That will take 1 hour to charge from flat. If you had 3300mah batteries 3.3 amps would be the charge rate and so on.
6 Cycling periodically Use this to bring old batteries that have not been used for a while back to condition.
7 Gharge setting Just use the normal setting
8 Repeak delay as des by southwell.
If you decide to buy a discharge tray make sure you dont let the cells drop below 0.9v per cell. You should be able to get one if you ask in the wanted section.
Also you will need more than one set of batteries. Nihm dont like to be charged more than twice a day or less than at least 1 hour from last use to keep them in good order.
