8. Pb (lead-sulphuric acid) battery program
This is programmed for charging Pb (Lead-Sulphuric acid) batteries with nominal
voltage from 6 to 12V. Pb batteries are totally different from NiCd or NiMH
batteries. They can only deliver relatively lower current compared to their
capacity, and similar restrictions definitely apply to charge. So the optimal charge
current will be 1/10 of the capacity. Pb batteries must not be charged rapidly.
Always follow the instruction is supplied by the manufacturer of the battery.
When you are willing to alter the parameter value in the program, press
Start/Enter
key to make it blink, then change the value with
INC
or
DEC
key.
The value will be stored by pressing
Start/Enter
key once.
8.1 Charging Pb Battery
Set up the charge current on the left and the nominal
voltage of the battery on the right. The charge
current ranges from 0.1 to 6.0A LD60, 10.0A LD100
and the voltage should be matched with the battery
being charged.
Start the charge process by pressing
Start/Enter
key
for more than 3 seconds.
7.3 Cycling NiCd/NiMH batteries
Set the sequence on the left and the number of cycle
on the right. You can use this function for balancing,
refreshing and break-in the battery. To avoid rising
temperature of the battery, there will a brief cool-off
period that already fixed at ‚User setting‘ after each
charge and discharge process. The cycling number
ranges from 1 to 5.
To stop the process, press
Batt type/Stop
key once.
.
You can change the discharge or charge current by
pressing
Start/Enter
key once during the process.
The audible sound indicates you the end of the
process.
At the end of the process, you can see charged or
discharged electric capacities of the battery at each
cyclic process.
By pressing
INC
or
DEC
button, the screen shows
the result of each cycle in order.
