iCharger Synchronous Balance Charger/Discharger 3010B
Charging Lithium battery in BALANCE mode
This function is for balancing the voltage of Lithium-polymer battery cells while charging. In the balance mode
the battery balance lead must be connected to the balance port on the right side of the
iCharger . The pinout
of the balance port is shown in the diagram below. Charging in this mode is different from the normal
CHARGE mode because the
iCharger can monitor the voltage of individual cells and adjust the input current
fed into each cell to normalize the voltage (for example: LiPo battery within 4.2V).
Balance port and Individual Cell connection diagram
Balance charging mode of Lithium battery. The left side of the first line set
the type of battery (LiPo, Lilo or LiFe). The value on the left side of second
line sets the charge current and on the right side of second line, it shows
AUTO. The system will check cell count automatically by cell balance port's
voltage.
Charge current: 0.05 – 30A, Voltage: 1 – 10 series
Lithium BALANCE charging mode. The screen shows the status during the
charging process. You can stop charging at any time by pressing
Batt
type/Stop .Press Inc  to display each cell‘s voltage (see the balance
voltage information) and press  Dec to display the General Status
Information.
