iCharger Synchronous Balance Charger/Discharger 3010B
Charging a Lithium battery in normal CHARGE mode
The iCharger first charges with constant current (CC) according to the user setting then constant voltage (CV)
when the charging voltage reaches the peak point. In the CV phase the current gradually falls. The iCharger
will terminate charging when the current falls below than 1/10 of the configured charge current.
Fast charging a Lithium battery
The iCharger first charges with constant current (CC) according to the user setting then constant voltage (CV)
when the charging voltage reaches the peak point. In the CV phase the current gradually falls. The iCharger
will terminate charging when the current falls below than 1/5 of the configured charge current. This will result
in slightly less than 100% charge but will complete sooner than the Normal charge mode.
The left side of the first line set the type of battery (LiPo, Lilo or LiFe). The
value on the left side of second line sets the charge current and the value
on the right side of second line sets the cell count and voltage of the battery
pack. After setting the current and voltage, press Start/Enter for more than
3 seconds to start the next process.
Charge current: 0.05 – 30A, Voltage: 1 – 10 series ( LiFe to 12 series)
The number of cells you set and the processor detects. If the checking
result is the same, it would enter to the next interface; if not the same, the
left side of the first line ‘R:xxSER‘ shows the number of cells detected by the
iCharger and the right side of the first line ‘S:xxSER‘ is the number of cells
set by the user. Usually, the auto-detect number won‘t exceed the number
set by the user. You should make sure that the configured number and the
actual number for the battery are the same and then you can start charging
by pressing Start/Enter. If not, press Batt type/Stop to go back to the
previous screen and adjust the setting.
Lithium CHARGE mode. The screen shows the status during the charging
process. You can stop charging at any time by pressing Batt type/Stop.
Press Inc to display each cell‘s voltage (see the balance voltage
information) and press Dec to display the General Status information.
