‘FAST’ Charging with a Lithium Battery
'FAST' charging a Lithium battery occurs when the charging current gets smaller as
the process goes to the end of the Lithium battery charging process. By finishing the
charging process earlier, this program will eliminate certain parts of the CV process. The
charging current will go to 20% of the initial value to end the process while the normal
charge will go to 10% during the CV term. The charging capacity may be slightly smaller
than the normal charging capacity, but the process time will be reduced.
The storage option can be used for charging or discharging a Lithium battery that will
not be used immediately. The program will charge or discharge the battery to any
voltage depending on the voltage of the battery at its initial stage. There are a variety of
different types of Lithium battery with various voltages, 3.75V for Li-ion, 3.85V for Li-Po
and 3.3V for Li-Fe per cell. If the voltage of the battery at its initial stage of charging is
over the voltage level of storage, the program will commence discharge.
‘STORAGE’ Control Lithium Battery
The charging current and the voltage can be set
whilst the battery pack is being charged. When
the Start/Enter button is pressed, the voltage
confirmation will be displayed. In order to confirm
this amount, press the Start/Enter button again to
begin charging.
The screen will display the present state of ‘FAST’
charging. In order to cease charging, press the
Batt type/stop key once.
The current and the voltage of the battery pack can
be set up to be charged. The current will be used
to charge or discharge the battery to reach the
optimum ‘storage’ voltage.
This screen will show the progress in which the
charging process is in throughout. To stop charging
press the Batt type/Stop key once.
