Multi-Step Constant Current Charge
This charge mode is designed for NiCd batteries but can be
used for any type of battery, which requires multi-step
constant current charge. The unit will charge at the set amps
for the time set for each step. During the charge the battery
voltage will be monitored and the charge will stop if the
overcharge voltage is exceeded. During the charge pressing
the
‘ENT’
key can manually advance each step. The
parameters for the charge are as follows: -
Step #1 Charge Amps :
This is the constant current
amps for step 1.
Step #1 Charge Time :
This is the amount of time the
charge is maintained for step 1.
Step #2 Charge Amps :
This is the constant current
amps for step 2.
Step #2 Charge Time :
This is the amount of time the
charge is maintained for step 2.
Step #3 Charge Amps :
This is the constant current
amps for step 3.
Step #3 Charge Time :
This is the amount of time the
charge is maintained for step 3.
Step #4 Charge Amps :
This is the constant current
amps for step 4.
Step #4 Charge Time :
This is the amount of time the
charge is maintained for step 4.
Overcharge Volts :
During the charge if the battery
voltage exceeds this value then the charge will stop.
Note :
Steps can have zero
Charge Amps
if a pause in
charging is required between steps.
Steps that are not needed are simply set to zero
Charge
Time
and zero
Charge Amps
.
At any time during the charge a step can be advanced before
the time has elapsed by pressing the
‘ENT’
key.
