This mode is used for preparing 1 to 6S Lithium batteries for storage. To ensure
the integrity of your battery, it should be stored at a specific voltage. This voltage
varies based on the type of Lithium battery you’re storing. They are 3.3V (LiFe),
3.7V (LiIon) and 3.85V (LiPo).
If the voltage of the battery when you start the storage process is higher, the
charger will discharge the battery to the proper voltage and if the voltage of the
battery when you start the storage process is lower, the charger will charge the
battery to the proper voltage.
Storing your Lithium batteries at the incorrect voltage can result in damage to
your battery.
Lithium batteries should never be stored with a full charge!
For safety, we recommend storing Lithium batteries in a fire-proof container.
Do not use this mode with 2 to 6S Lithium batteries that don’t feature a
balance connector or an internal balance circuit. Using this mode with a
multi-cell Lithium battery without a balance connector or an internal balance
circuit can result in fire and/or explosion!
1) Connect the charger to its power source, plug the output power adapter cord
into the power outputs of the charger, then plug your Lithium battery into
the output power adapter cord. If your battery features a balance connector,
plug it into the correct balance port on the charger. If your battery does
not feature an XH balance connector, an adaptor board can be used
(available separately).

5) Press and hold the START button for more
than 3 seconds to begin the charging
process. An automatic battery check will
be performed and the confirmation screen will be displayed. ‘R:’ shows
the number of cells found by the charger and ‘S:’ shows the number of cells
selected by you previously. If both numbers are identical, you can begin
charging by pressing the ENTER button. If the numbers don’t match, press
the STOP button to go back to the previous screen, then carefully check the
number of cells and the nominal input voltage of the battery to be charged.
