  • Page 11 The charger provides a number of Lithium programs including Balance, Normal, Fast and Storage. Only the Balance mode requires the balance lead connected. However, the other modes will provide additional per-cell over-voltage protection if the balance lead is connected compared to running them without it, where they can only utilize the total pack voltage.
  • Page 12 This funcuon is for balancing the voltage ofL1thium-polymer banery cells while chargmg. In the balance mode the bat1ery balance lead must be connected to the balance port on the right side of the charger. The pinout of the balance port 1s shown 1n the diagram below.

  • Page 13: Charging A Lithium Battery In Normal Charge Mode

    The charger first charges with constant current(CC) according to the user setting then constant vohage(CV) when the charging voltage reaches the peak point. In the CV phase the current gradually falls. The charger will terminate charging when the curren1 falls below than 1/10 of the configured charge current. The left side of the first line set 1hc type of battery(LiPo, Lila or Lil;c).

  • Page 14: Pre-Charging A Lithium Battery

    If the b.111cry is over-discharged and the voltage is 100 low then m the Normal charge or Fast charge modes the charger will , notify the user o pre-charging with a low current(IOOmA). This helps to increase the battery voltage to the wnhin the allowable range for normal charging.

    Charging a NiCd/NiMH battery The left side of the first line displays the type ofbatter(NiCd/N1MH) and the second line allows you 10 set the current limit. The charger offers two charging modes for NiCd/ NiMH., 'CHARGE Aut' and 'CHARGE Manual'. In 'Aut' mode the user sets the upper limit for the charging current.

  • Page 19: Nicd/Nimh Forming Charge

    This forming charge program aims to eliminate capacity imbalance between cells in J ba1tery. The charger first charges with constant current(CC=!C) according to the user setting. When the charging voltage reaches the peak threshold( l.<18V/cell) it switches to the CV phase. !n the CV phase the current gradually fails. When the current drops to C/4 the charger will charge another 25% Capacity at C/10 current and then terminate the process.
