Optimised Operating System 

Touch screen control allows you to easily set up and monitor the charging/discharging process 
of the battery via the touch screen. The “AUTO” function sets the current automatically when 
charging  or  discharging,  preventing  the  battery  from  over-charging.  These  specifications  can 
also be set by the user.  

 

High-power and high-performance circuit 

The max output is 80W. The max charge is 10A. The max discharge current is 2A. The CPU or 
operating  program  works  under  such  power  as  the  charger  is  fitted  with  a  highly  efficient 
cooling system. 

 

Balance voltage for Lithium battery packs 

The  charger  has  a  special  internal  function  for  Lithium  battery  voltage  balancing.  You  do  not 
require  an  additional  balancer  to  balance  the  voltage  when  charging  Lithium  batteries 
(LiPo/LiFe/LiIon). 

 

Balance and monitor individual cells in process of discharging 

The charger also monitors and balances the individual cells of a Lithium battery pack during the 
charging  process.  If  the  voltage  of  any  cell  varies  abnormally,  the  process  will  be  stopped 
automatically and an error message will appear on the screen. 

 

Accept various types of batteries 

This charger can be used with a wide range of batteries with different chemistries (LiPo, LiFe, 
LiIon, NiMH, NiCd and Pb). Choose the corresponding program, setting the parameters  on the 
base of the battery type and specifications, before you start to charge/discharge. 

 

“Fast” and “Storage” mode for Lithium battery packs 

The “Fast” charge reduces the charging time of Lithium batteries. The “Storage” mode controls 
the nominal voltage of the battery to make it suitable for long-term storage. 

 

Cyclic Charging/Discharging for NiMH/NiCd battery packs 

With  this  charger  you  can  perform  1-4  cycles  of  charge>discharge  or  discharge>charge 
continually for battery refreshing and balancing. 

 

Maximum Safety 

-

 

Delta-peak  Sensitivity

: when  the  battery  voltage  of  NiMH/NiCd  batteries  reaches  the  highest 

point and begins to drop, the charging process with automatically stop. 

-

 

Capacity Limit

: the charging process with terminate automatically when the maximum capacity 

value that is set is reached.  

-

 

Temperature Limit

: the temperature of the battery will rise during the charging process due to 

internal chemical reactions. In order to prevent overheating the charging process will forcibly 
end if the temperature limit that is set is reached.

 

This function is only available by connecting 

an  optional  temperature  probe,  which  is  not  included  in  the  package.  Available  from 
Overlander (SKU: 2598). 

-

 

Charge  Time  Limit

:  charging  will  stop  when  charge  time  limit  set  is  reached  to  avoid  any 

possible over-charging/over-discharging.
