Thread: Possible meanings for "cycle"

Hello everyone, I've been translating an CIE standard about battery tests, and I came across a word that I don't quite know how to interpret. You see, the norm says that one shoud "cycle" the battery on a battery analyser, but I can't find the right word in spanish for "cycle".
For example: "The DUT’s lithium iron phosphate battery is cycled on a battery analyser" and also "Charge-discharge cycle the battery"

I'm aware that cycle means "ciclo" literally, but it can also mean "alternación - época - era - estadio - etapa - fase - hilo - período - secuencia - serie - sucesión - tanda - tiempo - turno" but none of these meanings help me to make sense of these sentences.

Hope you can help me
Best regards.

Hello!

Maybe it's about "recharging" the battery, I mean, fixing it with the right "life cycle".

Here's some info from Apple: Basically, power cycling is simply taking your device (MacBook Pro) and charge it to 100%.

Thank you so much, it makes a lot more sense if I use it as "recharge"

I'm glad I could help!
