LiFe
CHARGE This mode is for charging a LiPo/LiHV/LiFe/LiIon battery in normal mode.
DISCHARGE This mode is for discharging a LiPo/LiHV/LiFe/LiIon battery.
STORAGE
For charging or discharging a lithium battery to storage-level voltage when the battery may
not be used again for an extended period of time.
FAST CHG The charging capacity might be less than normal and the process time will be reduced.
BAL CHARGE This mode is for balancing the voltage of lithium-polymer battery cells while charging.
NiMH
NiCd
CHARGE The charger will charge NiMH and NiCd batteries using the charge current set by the user.
AUTO CHG
The charger detects the condition of the battery connected to the output and automatically
charges the battery.
CAUTION:
Never set the max charge current higher than 1C.
DISCHARGE This mode is for discharging NiMH/NiCd battery.
RE-PEAK
In re-peak charge mode, the charger can peak charge the battery once, twice or three
times in a row automatically. This is good for confirming the battery is fully charged, and for
checking how well the battery receives fast charges.
CYCLE
1 to 5 cyclic and continuous process of charge to discharge or discharge to charge is for
battery refreshing and balancing to stimulate the battery’s activity.
Pb
NORMAL CHG This mode is for charging a Pb battery.
AGM CHG This mode is for charging an AGM battery.
COLD CHG This mode is for charging a Pb battery on days when the temperature is 5°C to -20°C.
DISCHARGE This mode is for discharging a Pb battery.
