Charging a Pb battery
The “Pb CHARGE” program is only suitable for charging Pb (lead acid) batteries with a nominal
voltage from 2-20v. Pb batteries can only deliver current lower in comparison to there capacity. The
same restriction applies to the charging process. Consequently, the optimum charge current can
only be set at 1/10th of the capacity. Pb batteries can not be fast charged. Please follow the
instructions from the manufacturer. The maximum capacity of the Pb battery should be 20Ah. Due
to the Characteristics of a Pb battery, the cut off point can be difficult to detect. We recommend that
a user set capacity cut off is used to protect the battery.
