  • Page 3: Features

    1. Features Optimised operating software When charging or discharging, It has an 'AUTO' function that sets the feeding current automatically. Especially for Lithium batteries, it can prevent the over-charging can lead to an explosion by users fault. Every program in the unit is controlled with mutual links and communication for every possible error so it introduces a maximum safety.
  • Page 4 Auto-charge current limit: When charging NiCd or NiMH at 'AUTO' current mode, you can set the upper limit of change current to avoid from high current charging. This is very useful when charging the low impedance and small capacity NiMH battery in 'AUTO' mode. Capacity limit: The changing capacity always calculated by multiple of the charging current and time.

    3. Warnings and safety notes Never leave the charge unsupervised when it is connected to its power supply. If any malfunction is observed immediately terminate the process and refer to the operation manual. Keep away the unit from dust, damp, rain, heat, direct, sunshine and vibration. Do not dorp it.
  • Page 7 Do not connect more than one battery pack to the charge lead at any one time. Do not attempt to charge or discharge the following types of battery. - Battery pack, which consists of different types of cell (including different manufacturers). - Battery, which is already fully charged or just slightly discharged.
  • Page 8 Discharge The typical purpose of discharge is to determine the residual capacity of the battery, or to lower the voltage of battery to a defined level. When you discharge the battery you also have to pay attention on the process same as charging. To avoid the battery becoming deep- discharged, set the final discharge voltage correctly.

    5. Initial Parameter set up (Users' set up) It will be operated with the default value of the essential user settings when it is connected to a DC 10~18V batttery for the first time.The screen displays the following information in sequence and the user can change the value of parameter on each screen.
  • Page 11 The battery is on the cyclic process of charge and discharge can often become warm after charge or discharge period. The program can insert a time delay to occur after each charge and discharge process to allow the battery adequate time to cool down before being subjected to the next process.
  • Page 12: Lithium Battery(Lilo/Lipo/Life)Program

    6. Lithium battery(Lilo/LiPo/LiFe/LiHV)program These programs are only suitable for charging and discharging Lithium batteries with a nominal voltage of 3.3V,3.6V,3.7V and 3.8V per cell. These batteries need to adopt different charge technique is termed a constant voltage(CV) and constant current(CC) method. The charge current varies according to the battery capacity and performance.
  • Page 13: Charging Lithium Battery At Balance Mode

    6.2 Charging Lithium battery at balance mode This function is for balancing the voltage of Lithium-polymer battery cells while charging. In the balance mode, the battery needs to have a balance lead to connect to the battery's power lead to the output of chaeger. In this mode, the charging process will be different from ordinary charging mode.
  • Page 14: Storage' Control Lithium Battery

    The shows the present state of 'FAST' charging. To stop charging arbitrary, press Batt type/Stop key once . 6.4 'STORAGE' control of lithium battery This is for charging or discharging Lithium battery not to be used for the time being. The program will determine to charge or discharge the battery to the certain voltage depending on the voltage of the battery at its initial stage.
  • Page 15: Voltage Balancing And Monitoring During The Discharge

    6.6 Voltage balancing and monitoring during the discharge The processor monitors the voltage of individual cells during 'storage-mode' and 'discharge' of Lithium battery pack. It tries to normalise the voltages to be equal. For this feature, the individual plug of the battry pack should be connected to the individual port of the charger.

    7.2 Discharging of NiCd/NiMH battery Set discharge current on the left and final voltage on the right. The discharge current ranges from 0.1 to 1.0A and the final voltage ranges from 0.1 to 25.0V). To start the process, press Start /Enter key more than 3 seconds. The screen displays the current state of discharge.

    8. Pb( lead-sulphuric acid) battery program This is programmed for charging Pb( lead-sulphuric acid) battery with nominal voltage from 2 to 36V. Pb batteries are totally different from NiCd or NiMH batteries. They can only deliver relatievely lower current compare to their capacity, and similar restrictions definitely apply to charge.
