Special features                                                                                                                                                   

 

  High  power,  high  current,  high-performance  power  conversion  circuit.  The 

iCharger 

series  uses 

advanced 

Synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter

 technology with an output conversion efficiency 

that  can  reach  over  90%.  This  not  only  saves  power  and  reduces  heat  build  up  but  also  makes  the 
charger more compact and conveniently mobile. 

  Two input power choices: DC jack with auto-resetting fuse (maximum input current 6A) and butt-welded 

alligator  clips  with  4mm  bullet  connectors  (25A).The  output  power  can  be  adjusted  to  align  with  the 
available input power, thus preventting input current overload and protecting the DC source. 

  The 

iCharger

 series can be

 u

sed with three types of Lithium batteries - LiPo, Lilo, LiFe - and has a fully 

integrated cell balancer. 

  Internal  temperature  sensor  and  temperature  controlled  automatic  cooling  FAN  controls  the  internal 

temperature and provides intelligent protection. When the internal temperature is over 60

(140

 o

F), the 

output power is automatically reduced by 25%. If the temperature exceeds 65

(149

 o

F) the charge cycle 

is stopped. 

  Convenient set of 10 battery profile memories that can be saved and loaded by number. 

  2x16  backlit  LCD  screen  that  provides  rich  information  including  active  mode,  current,  voltage,  total 

charge (mAh), charging time and temperature etc. 

  Various charging/discharging settings and cycles to meet a wide range of customer needs. For Lithium 

batteries:  balance  charging,  normal  charging,  fast  charging,  storage,  discharging,  ext-discharging, 
charge/discharge  cycling,  and  battery  monitoring.  For  NiCd/NiMH  batteries:  charging-auto, 
charging-manual, discharging, charge/discharge cycling and forming charge. For Pb batteries: charging 
and discharging. 

  Unique  Lithium  battery  expanding  discharge  program.  When  you  connect  the  external  capacity 

resistance, you can use it as the maximum discharge power capacity—170W (@25V/7A). 

  Unique  Lithium  battery  Monitor  program.  When  you  use  other  equipment  to  charge  or  discharge  a 

Lithium  pack,  you  can  use  the 

iCharger

  to  monitor  the  per-cell  voltages,  battery  temperature  and 

process time. If any individual cell appears over-charged or over-discharged or the pack is too hot or the 
process has gone on for too long, the 

iCharger 

will generate an alarm sound and the related information 

will blink. 

  Electric motor test mode can be used to run-in electric motors, test motor parameters and performance, 

check tolerances etc.
