Charging a Lithium Battery in Balance Mode (Continued)
The value displayed on the left side on the second line sets
the charge current. The value on the right side on the second
line sets the nominal voltage of the battery pack. After setting
the current and voltage, press the Start key for more than
3 second to start the process (Charge current :0.1~10.0A,
Voltage:1~6 series).
The number of cells that have been set up and detected by
the processor should now be visible where ‘R’ is shown. 'R:'
represents the number of cells found by you in the previous
screen. If both numbers are identical, the charging process
can begin.
If the numbers are not the same, the Batt type button should
be pressed, which will lead back to the previous screen. The
number of cells within the battery pack then needs to be
counted carefully.
The screen will show the situation throughout the charge
process. To stop charging press the Batt type key once.
Charging a Lithium Battery in Balance Mode
This is used to balance the individual cell voltages within a Lithium battery pack. In order to do this,
the battery pack being charged should have an individual cell connector lead/plug. This is usually
called the ‘balance’ plug and there are various types. The balance plug should be connected to the
appropriate port on the right side of the charger, usually via a short lead and a suitable adaptor board
that fits your battery pack. There are four types, TP, XH, EH and PQ. A TP board and lead is supplied
and other boards are available as optional extra items. The individual sockets in the side of the charger
are the XH style and no adaptor board is needed. The main battery output plug should be connected
to the output sockets of the charger. In this mode, the charging process will be different from the
ordinary charging mode in the correct polarity. The internal processor of the charger will monitor the
voltages of each cell in the battery pack and will control the charging current that is fed to each cell so
that voltages match as much as possible. It is always recommended to charge Lithium battery packs
in this way.
