When you have connected the battery to the charger, hold
the START button pressed in for about two seconds and
the screen will display the cell count of the Lithium pack. If
the pack contains 1 or 2 cells, the charger detects and
sets the number of cells fully automatically. If the pack
contains more than two cells, you may have to adjust the
cell count manually using the INC / DEC buttons, as the
automatic circuit is unable to detect more than three cells
reliably. On the right-hand side you will see the voltage of
the pack connected to the charger. Pressing the START
button again initiates the charge process.
! Caution ! Please take great
care to set the correct cell
count and battery type. If you
make a mistake, the battery
could explode and burst into
flames !
Lithium type select program
This is actually the
most important
set-up program for
Lithium batteries. In the Select program you enter the
battery type and battery capacity. It is vital to enter this
information with the greatest care. Check it very thoroughly,
as the charger derives all the other charge parameters from
the settings you enter here.The battery type you select
(LiPo, LiIo or LiFe) affects the charge termination voltage. If
you find that a Lithium battery has unexpectedly been
charged only to the 2/3 full mark, you have probably set the
incorrect battery type at this point.
Caution
: if you set an
incorrect value at this point, the battery may be damaged
irreparably, and could even explode!
The final charge voltage can be adjusted in 0.01V steps.
The max. charge voltage for LiPo is 4.2V, for LiIo 4.1V, for
LiFe 3.6V. To store the batteries, adjust the charge voltage
about 0.4V lower as the maximum charge voltage.
At charging/discharging the battery types will be displayed
as followed:
LiPo (LiMn) = LP
LiIo = LI
LiFe = LF
