8. LITHIUM BATTERY(LiPo/LiFe/LiIon) PROGRAM
These programs are only suitable for charging and discharging lithium batteries with
a nominal voltage of 3.7V, 3.3V and 3.6V per cell. These batteries need to adopt dif-
ferent charge technique which is termed as constant voltage(CV) and constant cur-
rent(CC) method. The charge current varies according to the battery capacity and
performance. The final voltage of charge process is also very important; it should be
precisely matched with the charge voltage of the battery. They are
4.2V for LiPo, 3.6 V for LiFe, and 4.1V for Lilon. The charge current
and nominal voltage as for cell count set on the charge program must always be
correct for the battery to be charged.
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 connect to the battery‘s power lead with
balance wire.
In this mode, the charging process will be different from ordinary charging mode.
The internal processor of the charger will monitor the voltages of each cell of the
battery pack and control charging current which is feeding to each cell to equalize
the voltage.
Note: We recommend charging lithium batteries with a balance wire in the balance
mode only.
The left side of the first line shows the type of battery you
choose. The value on the left of the second line of the charger
is current the user sets. After setting the current and voltage,
press the START/ENTER button for more than 3 seconds to
start the process.
This screen displays the number of cells you set up and the
processor detects. R=Number of cells detected by charger.
S=Number of cells set by you at the previous screen.
If both numbers are identical you can start charging process. If
not, press button to go back to previous screen to recheck the
number of cells of the battery pack before going ahead.
This screen shows the real-time status during charge process.
Press button once to stop the charge process.
