5. Parameter set-up (User settings)
The charger will automatically be operated with the default user settings when it is
connected to a 12V battery for the first time. The screen displays the following
information in sequence and the user can change the value of the parameters on
each screen. If you want to alter the parameter value in the program, press
Start/
Enter to make it blink then change the value with INC or DEC . The value will then be
stored by pressing Start/Enter .
The screen displays the nominal voltage of the
Lithium battery. There are four kinds of Lithium
battery;
LiFe (3.3V) , LiIon (3.6V) , LiPo (3.7V) or
LiHV (3.8V) . It is very important that you check
the battery carefully to ensure it is set up
correctly. If the incorrect values are selected the
battery could ignite or explode during the
charging process.
The charger will recognise the cell count of the
battery automatically at the beginning of the
charge or discharge process to reduce the
chances of incorrect settings being selected by
the user. However, a deeply discharged battery
can be perceived incorrectly, so it is important to
check that all of the information is correct. To
prevent any errors, you can set the time term to
verify the cell count detected by the processor.
Normally 10 minutes is enough to perceive the
cell count correctly. For a battery of a larger
capacity, you may need to extend the time term.
However, be careful not to set the time term for
too long for a battery of a smaller capacity, as the
charge or discharge process can be finished
within the time term with the wrong cell count,
which could then result in over-charging the
battery.
If the processor recognises the cell count
incorrectly at the beginning of the charge or
discharge process, you may extend the time.
Otherwise, it is recommended that you use the
default value.
