LiFe
V.Type            3.3V

LiFe
V.Type            3.3V

The battery becomes warm after cycles of charge/discharge process. The 
program will insert  a time delay after each charge/discharge  process to 
allow the battery enough time to cool down before beginning next cycle of  
charge/discharge process. The valid value ranges from 0 to 60 minutes.

When the charge process starts, the integrated safety timer starts to run 
simultaneously. If error detected or the termination circuit can not detect 
whether the battery is fully charged or not, this unit is programmed to prevent 
overcharging. Please refer to the below statement to calculate the timer  you 
set.

Safe  timer  Calculation  

When charging NiCd or NiMH batteries, divide the capacity by current, then 
divide the result by 11.9, set this number of minutes as the value for safety 
timer setting. If the charger stopped at this time threshold, about 140% of the 
capacity will have been fed into the battery.
For example:
Capacity            Current              Safety Time 
2000mAh               2.0A            (2000/2.0=1000)/11.9=84   minutes
3300mAh               3.0A            (3300/3.0=1100)/11.9=92   minutes
1000mAh               1.2A            (1000/1.2=833)/11.9=70    minutes
