The discharge current and, accordingly, the charge is set immediately after installing the battery in the slot and by default it has a value of 200 mA. ...

That is, you can put 1 battery for a charge, and after several hours put 2 more slots in the free slot, well, or for another operation. ... It can display the following information: the battery voltage, the battery capacity during the charge, the capacity given by the battery during the discharge, the duration of the current operation with the battery in hours and minutes, the current operation mode and all this for each channel separately. ...
