After selecting charge for a NiCd or NiMH pack, you are given the option to select
four different charge types. These are:-

Automatic

This is a fully automatic charge that will ignore the selected charge parameters. The
charger will monitor the battery by stopping the charge for a few seconds every minute
and then automatically adjust the charge current to make sure the best charge current
is delivered to your pack.

Normal

The charger will charge the pack at the selected charge current, but will stop charging
for five seconds every minute. This allows for better peak detection.

Linear

The selected current is maintained throughout the charge.

Re-Flex

Reflex (sometimes know as ‘Burp’ or ‘reverse pulse’) charging is where the charger
applies a reverse charge of 4 times the charge current for 4/1000 of every second.
Reflex charging is believed to help remove oxidizing gas bubbles from the cell plates in
the battery, allowing it to charge more efficiently. Reflex charging is not always
recommended for NiMH cells, so please check with your battery manufacturer first.
