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.
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.

‘>3 seconds’
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 ”R”
and the number of cells the processor detects as “S”. 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.
