Operating the charger
You operate the charger using the Mode button and Start/Stop button:

Mode button: enables you to select a preset, change preset values and—during charging—
display charging data.

Start/Stop button: enables you to select an optimization method, start charging, and stop
charging.
This section provides detailed instructions for all these operations.
Selecting the optimization method
Press the Start button quickly to select the desired optimization method:

ACCURATE CHARGE : charging stops when all cells are at exactly the target voltage.

FASTER CHARGE : charging stops when the pack draws less than 10% of the set charge
current, regardless of individual cell voltages. Since balancing begins early in the charge
cycle, significant balancing still takes place.
Selecting a preset

To determine the currently selected preset and review its settings: Press the Mode button on
the charger’s right side.

To select a different preset: Press the Mode button until you see the desired preset’s name
and settings in the display, then wait until you see the SAFE TO CONNECT screen.
The preset displayed when you stop pressing the Mode button is the “selected” preset. Once the
preset is selected, you can change the charge settings for this preset (see “Changing a preset”) or
begin charging by pressing the Start/Stop button.
Note: The Charge Control Software enables you define up to six custom presets. If
you have defined custom presets, you can—at the charger—select any preset. (If you
have not defined custom presets, the two factory presets are available.)
Changing a preset
You can change the charge settings for the currently selected preset to match the characteristics
of the pack(s) you are charging.
Note: Changes you make to presets are saved in the charger when the charger is dis-
connected from power.
1. Select the preset you want to change (see “Selecting a preset,” above).
2. At this point, there are several things you can do:

