Setting the delta-peak charging method
When the delta-peak charging mode
Peak
is shown at the bottom left of the
setup display, the level of the voltage bend can be set (default value: 0,1V).
In addition, the grace period can be set; here the battery voltage is first
tested for voltage drop after the set time; this allows using the delta-peak
method to charge even batteries with poor voltage characteristics.
CAUTION: the grace period is not suited for repeaking batteries.
Setting the charging current
No general recommendations can be given for setting the charging current.
This varies according to both the batteries used and their respective
applications.
In general, however, it holds that higher charging current produces higher
voltage (= pressure) in the battery and lower charging current produces
greater charged capacity (= life of the charge, driving time). However, the
charging current for rapid-charging driving batteries must not fall below
3.0 amperes and must not exceed 6.0 amperes.
Sanyo battery:
charging current 4.5A - 5.5A (default 5.0 A)
Panasonic battery:
charging current 4.0A - 5.0A (default 4.5 A)
Setting for amateur drivers:
