Parking

, Battery is ready. NiMH and NiCD (battery could stay in this stage indefinitely without any 

harm, Lithium batteries will re-start the charging process when battery  self discharges to 3.6V/cell. 
 

Rapid Charge

 comes after "Soft Charge" and runs until charging is terminated. 

 

Soft Charge

, come when new battery begins to charge. Usually 4 minutes for NiMH and NiCD 

battery. If the battery is very weak this interval could be longer.  

 

Waiting,

Operation  
 
1. Battery Charging;

 

Insert battery into its relative pocket on the i90 charger, the following screen  
( picture #7 ) will reflect the insertion of  3 batteries and all batteries are in good 
condition,   
 
 

 

 

Picture # 7 

 
 

Once the batteries are inserted charge process will be initiated automatically and 
the Charger State will indicate ‘Soft Charge “. 
At this point the following options are allowed: 
 

2. Battery History Information. 

Double click on the Serial Number (S/N) Field, the below screen will be open ( picture # 8 )
