Intended Use
The charger is used to charge and discharge rechargeable batteries of the type NiMH/NiCd
(1 - 15 cells), LiPo/LiIon/LiFe/LiHv (1 - 6 cells) and lead batteries (1 - 10 cells, 2 V - 20 V).
The charge current can be set between 0.1 A and 10.0 A (depending on the cell number/
rechargeable battery voltage). The maximum charging power is 80 W.
The discharge current can be set between 0.1 A and 2.0 A (depending on the cell number/
rechargeable battery voltage). The maximum discharging power is 5 W.
The charger is operated by four operating buttons and a two-line lit LC display.
The charger also offers a connection for an external temperature sensor (not enclosed, avail
-
able as an accessory) for rechargeable battery monitoring. A balancer is integrated for multi
-
ple-cell lithium batteries. For connection of the rechargeable battery, a matching external XH
adapter for rechargeable batteries with 2 - 6 cells is enclosed.
The charger has an integrated mains unit to permit operation on mains voltage
(100 - 240 V/AC, 50/60 Hz). The charger may, however, also be alternatively operated on a
stabilised direct voltage of 11 - 18 V/DC (e.g. via an external vehicle lead battery or a suitable
mains adapter).
