Prolong Battery Discharger Operating Instructions 

The Prolong Battery Discharger is very simple to use.  For best results, follow these easy instructions:

1) Charge the hybrid battery with your Prolong Battery Charger until the battery voltage levels off & stops rising, then for an additional 4-6 hours.
2) Disconnect the Prolong Battery Charger from the vehicle car harness and connect the Prolong Battery Discharger.
3) Plug the Prolong Battery Discharger into AC power and power it on.
4) Press the button for the desired discharge termination voltage.  (Be sure to fully charge the pack between each discharge cycle).

The Prolong Battery Discharger will display a solid red LED for the termination voltage selected and begin the discharge process, safely draining the battery until the discharge termination voltage is reached.  The amp meter will display the current being drawn from the battery during the discharge process.  When the discharge is complete the LED will flash red for seven minutes as the discharger system cools itself down.  Once the cool down is finished, the idle LED will come on and the alert buzzer will sound.  NOTE: The battery voltage will ‘rebound’ or rise after the discharge process is complete.  This is normal and should be expected.

5) After the discharge is complete, reconnect your Prolong Battery Charger and charge the battery again until the voltage levels off and stops rising.  We recommend allowing the Prolong Battery Charger to run for 4-6 hours after the voltage stops rising to top balance the battery cells.
