PB( LEAD-SULPHURIC ACID) BATTERY PROGRAM
This is programmed for charging Pb(lead-sulphuric acid) battery with
nominal voltage from 2 to 20V. 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. So the
optimal charge current will be 1/10 of the capacity. Pb batteries must not be
charged rapidly. Always follow the instruction is supplied by the
manufacturer of battery.
When you are willing to alter the parameter value in the program, press
Start/Enter key to make it blink then change the value with or key.
The value will be stored by pressing Start/Enter key once.

Set up the charge current on the left and the
nominal voltage of the battery on the right. The
charge current ranges from 0.1 to 10.0A and
the voltage should be matched with the battery
being charged.
Start the charge process by pressing
Start/Enter key for more than 3 seconds.
The screen displays the state of charging
process. To stop charging forcibly, press Batt
type/Stop key once.
The audible sound indicates you at the end of
process.

ranges from 0.1 to 2.0A.
To start the process, press Start/Enter key for
more than 3 seconds.

by pressing Start/Enter key during the process.
Once you change the current value, store it by
pressing Start/Enter button again.
To stop discharging press Batt Type/Stop key
once. The audible sound indicates you at the
end of process.
The free “Charge Master” software gives you unparalleled ability to operate
the charger through the computer. You can monitor pack voltage, cell
voltage and other data during the charging, view charge date in real-time
graphs. And you can initiate, control charging and update firmware from
“Charge Master”.
In order to connect the charger to the computer and use the “Charge
Master”, you are required to use a USB cable which is not included in this
package. The cable must be terminated on one end with “A” plug and the
opposite end is terminated with “micro” plug which can connect to charger
directly.
The “Charge Master” can be download from www.gforce-hobby.jp
