Note: Remember, any settings you change while in the Options Menu are automatically saved the instant
you make the change. You may Exit the menu at any time. You may also simply cycle power to the
charger to re-start, in which case the Welcome Screen will appear.
Alternate charging modes
Based on what the charger determines about charging conditions, it may enter one of these charging
modes automatically (as indicated in the display):
In Low Voltage Restore Mode, the charger automatically attempts to repair an over-discharged pack. Cells
discharged as low as 0.5V may be repaired to as much as 98% of capacity.
In Safety Charging Mode, the charger detects that at least one cell is seriously out of balance, and
automatically lowers charge current to 0.5A.
CAUTION: If the charger’s display shows
SAFETY CHARGING
during several attempts at charging,
the pack is damaged. Treat damaged packs with caution. Do not charge them on a flammable surface,
and do not charge them unattended. Never repeatedly START a charge on a pack that continuously
triggers
SAFETY CHARGING. Fire may result!
In Cold Weather Balancing Mode, unlike previous FMA chargers, the Cellpro 10XP does not
support reduced end of charge voltage based on ambient or operating temperature.
If the charger detects a problem, it will stop charging and display a safety code. If this happens:
1. Press
the
MODE button to reset the charger.
2.
Reconnect the battery properly.
3. Press
the
START/STOP button to continue charging.
