Charging Lithium Battery in the Charge Mode

These methods for charging LiPo/Li-Ion/LiFe batteries without a balance lead.

The first line on the left side of this screen shows the type of

battery chosen. The second line shows the user set current

on the left and the user set voltage on the rights. After setting

the current and voltage, press the

START/ENTER key for

more than 3 seconds to start the process (charge current

range: 0.1-6.0A, voltage range: 3.7-22.2V).

The next display shows the number of cells you set up as ”

S”

and the number of cells the processor detects as “

R”. If both

numbers are identical, you can start charging by pressing the

START/ENTER button. If not, press the BATT TYPE/STOP

button to go back to the previous screen to carefully check the

number of cells of the battery pack before proceeding.

This next screen shows the real-time status during the charge

process. Press the

BATT TYPE/STOP key once to stop the

charge process.

Charging Lithium Battery in Balance Mode

This function is for balancing the voltage of Lithium-polymer battery cells individually

while charging. In the balance mode, the battery needs to have a balance lead to connect

to the balance port at the right side of the charger and the battery's power leads to the

output of the charger. Charging in this mode is different from the normal modes because

the built-in processor monitors the voltage of each individual cell and controls the input

current fed into each cell in order to equalize the voltage.

NOTE

When you want to change the settings, press the

START/ENTER key to make it blink,

then use the

DEC or INC key to change the setting. Then press the START/ENTER key

again to store the setting.

Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)

Nominal Voltage Level: 3.6V per cell

Max. Charge Voltage: 4.1V per cell

Allowable Fast Charge Current: 1C or less

Min. Discharge Voltage Cut Off Level: 2.5V per cell or higher

Lithium Polymer (Li-Po)

Nominal Voltage Level: 3.7V per cell

Max. Charge Voltage: 4.2V per cell

Allowable Fast Charge Current: 1C or less

Discharge Voltage Cut Off Level: 3.0V per cell or higher

Lithium Ferrite (LiFe)

Nominal Voltage Level: 3.3V per cell

Maximum Charge Voltage: 3.6V per cell

Allowable Fast Charge Current: 4C or less

Discharge Voltage Cut Off Level: 2.0V per cell or higher

Charging Lithium Batteries in Fast Mode

When charging lithium chemistry batteries in the fast charge mode the charging current

will become lower towards the end of the charge cycle. In fast mode the charging capac-

ity is slightly lower than in normal charge mode, but charging time is reduced.
