First, I apologize if this is the wrong section for posting. I searched up battery charger and got hits in this sections.
Okay, this is my first smart charger and read that if I want to optimize my NiCD battery, I have to discharge it first and then charge it.
So I set everything up, begin to discharge when I see a little bit of white smoke coming out of the fan in the back and then I smell it as well. It smells like burnt wires, very close to charcoal when lit.
Is this normal when discharging a NiCD? I don't know because it's my first time. There is no smell when charging the battery, only if I discharge.
Battery is Sanyo 9.6V 1600mAh 8 cell
This is a BOL Data charger, like this:
