Lithium Battery (Li-ion/Li-Po/Li-Fe) Program
The following programs are only suitable for charging and discharging Lithium
batteries with a nominal voltage of 3.3v, 3.6v and 3.7v per cell. These batteries need
to adopt different charge techniques which are referred to as; the constant voltage
(CV) and constant current (CC) methods. The charge current varies according to the
battery’s capacity and performance. The final voltage of the charge process is also very
important; it should be precisely matched with the charged voltage of the battery. They
are 4.2V for Li-Po, 4.1V for Li-ion, and 3.6V for Li-Fe. The charge current and optimal
voltage must always be correct for the cell count set in the charge program. To alter the
parameter value in the program, press the Start key to make it flash, then change the
value with the INC or DEC key. The value will be stored by pressing the Start key once.
In order to identify the type of battery in use, the
information will be visible on screen. The left side
of the first line will show the type of battery that
has been selected by the user settings. The value
on the left side on second line sets the charge
current. The value on the right side of second line
sets the voltage of the battery pack. After setting
the current and voltage press and hold the Start
key for over 3 seconds to start the process (Charge
current: 0.1~10.0A, Voltage:1~6series).
This shows the number of cells than can be set
up and the amount the processor detects. 'S:'
represents the number of cells selected by you at
the previous screen. If both numbers are identical
you can start charging by pressing the Start button.
If not, please press the Batt type button to go back
to previous screen. The quantity of cells within the
battery pack then needs to be counted carefully.
The screen shows the present situation during the
charge process. To stop charging press the Batt
type key once.
