current meter is reading the maximum charging current recommended by the battery manufacturer. If the 

CV light is on, either the battery is not depleted enough or the current limit is set too high. 

i) 

Watch the charging progress, when the current is below 1A or 1/10 of the maximum charging current, it is 

probably time to end the charge. Make sure the AC power never goes off line during the charging process. 

j) 

Stop the output. Disconnect the battery from the power supply, and then turn off the power supply. 

4) 

Inductive Load

 

 

Warning:

 

it is critical to change the current on the inductive load slowly. Sudden changes of power supply 

output can cause the inductive load to generate a reverse EMF much larger than the voltage from the 
power supply, and cause damage to the power supply. Turning on or off the power supply with an 
inductive load connected can cause power supply to fail beyond repair. Damages like this are not 
under warranty.

 

h)  Adjust all 4 knobs (both current and voltage) to minimum position.   

i)  Push the output button in to enable output. 

f)   For CV operation, turn the current knobs to maximum position; slowly turn up the voltage until it reaches 

desired voltage level. For CC operation, turn the voltage knobs to maximum; slowly increase the current 

until it reaches the desired current level.   

g)   Once finished, slowly turn down either the current or voltage knobs until the output is zero before stopping 

the output. After the load is disconnected, it is safe to turn off the power supply.
