Discharging
The main purpose of discharging is to remove residual capacity of the battery, or to
reduce the battery voltage to a defined level. The same attention should be paid to
the discharging process as charging. The final discharge voltage should be set up
correctly to avoid over-discharging. Lithium battery can not be discharged too low or it
will cause a rapid loss of capacity or a total failure. Please pay attention to the
minimum voltage of the lithium battery.
Some rechargeable batteries have a memory effect. If they are partialy used and
recharged consistently then they will remember this effect and will cause a reduce in
capacity, this is called memory effect
.
NiCd and NiMH batteries commonly suffer from
memory effect. NiCd has more of a tendency to have “memory effect” than compared
to NiMH.
Attention should be paid to the connection of lithium battery especially. Do not
attempt to disassemble the battery pack and use them. Always use the BALANCE
CHARGE function, any voltage imbalances in the cells may cause fire or explosion.
Lithium batteries are recommended to be charge in series.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
07 · Hyperion EOS 0840i
Always be sure that the charger is properly configured for the correct battery type. ALWAYS
power charger ON before you attach a battery to output or balance connectors .
Be SURE that your lithium battery pack balance connector matches the multi-adapter type
connected to the charger.
SYNC MODE charging should start with packs at near equal discharge states (see more
details in text)
Be sure that the batteries you charge are capable of charging at the current (A) rate you select
Never charge batteries unattended
Charge only in a fire-resistant environment, non-flammable surfaces such as on concrete or
brick
Do not charge near easily flammable materials
Do not charge batteries inside a model
Charging outdoors is strongly recommended
Use only high-quality gold 4mm bullet connectors for charge output cable connection to the
charger. See "setup"
Properly insulate and regularly inspect all connectors to eliminate the possibility of short circuit.
Damage caused by output short circuit is not covered by warranty.
Never allow the charger case to contact an AC/DC power supply case while powered
Do not drop or cause other shock to the charger, nor subject it to moisture, condensation or
liquids
Do not attempt to charge battery packs made from different types of cells, a mixture of old and
new cells, or cells made with chemistry not supported by the EOS charger
NEVER attempt to charge "non-rechargeable" cells
Do not open the case of the charger under any circumstances. Doing so will void the warranty
Keep the charger away from children or pets at all times.
