7. Charging Lithium Chemistry Type Batteries
Charging Lithium Batteries in the Storage Mode
The Storage Mode function is for charging/discharging
batteries that will not be used immediately or that will be
stored for a period of time. The program is designed for
charging or discharging batteries to a specifi c voltage level
depending on the type of battery (LiIon = 3.75 V, LiPo =
3.85 V, LiHV = 3.4 V and LiFe = 3.3 V). The program will
begin to discharge if the original state of the battery
exceeds the voltage level for storage.
On the fi rst screen, you can set up the current and voltage
of the battery pack. Charging and discharging will bring
the batteries to the storage level.
The next screen shows the real-time status of the charge or
discharge process. Press the
„BATT TYPE/STOP“
key once
to stop the charging process.
During the discharge process the X2-700’s microprocessor monitors the voltage of each cell during the
Storage Mode or Discharge process. If the voltage of any cell is abnormal, the charger will display an error
message and immediately terminate the program. Before disconnecting the battery review the error message
then press the
„INC“
button to display which cell is.
7.1. Discharging Lithium Chemistry Type Batteries
The setting of the discharge current on the left cannot exceed
1C, and the setting on the right cannot be under the voltage
recommended by the manufacturer to avoid deep discharging.
Press the
„START/ENTER“
key for more than 3 seconds to
start discharging.
This shows the real-time status of discharging; you can
press the
„BATT TYPE/STOP“
key to stop discharging.
Warning!
Lithium batteries cannot be discharged to a voltage lower than the minimum voltage for the cell
type. Doing so will result in a rapid loss of capacity and/or total failure. While the X2-700 monitors each
individual cell during the discharge process the discharging cutoff is based on the total pack voltage therefore
it is important to watch the discharge process closely to make sure a cell does not fall below the minimum
voltage. Generally, lithium batteries don’t need to be discharged and it is not recommended that you discharge
them. If you do choose to discharge your lithium batteries it is recommended that you cycle them using the
Storage Mode charging to cycle the batteries.
