b) Charging Rechargeable Batteries without Balancer Connection ("CHARGE")
Of course, you can also charge multiple-cell lithium rechargeable batteries with a balancer connection
with the rechargeable battery programme "CHARGE".
However, the individual cell voltages are not reconciled here, so that one or several cells may be over-
charged. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
Therefore, always charge multiple-cell lithium rechargeable batteries with balancer connection with
the rechargeable battery programme "BALANCE", but never with the rechargeable battery programme
"CHARGE"!
• First, choose the rechargeable battery type with the button "ESC/MODE/STOP" or "DEC" as described in chapter
11. a) (LiPo, LiIon, LiFe or LiHv) and push the button "START/ENTER".
• Select the rechargeable battery programme "CHARGE" with the button
"INC" or "DEC".
The previously selected rechargeable battery type is written in the upper
left.
The upper right value (in the figure "3S") indicates the cell number; the lower left value ("C=3000mAh") the battery
capacity and the lower right the currently set charging current ("3.0A").
Use the button "INC" or "DEC" to select a different rechargeable battery programme; use the button
"ESC/MODE/STOP" to return to the main menu.
• If the values need to be changed, push the "START/ENTER" button. The number of cells in the upper right of
the display is flashing. Set the number of the cells with the buttons "INC" and "DEC". Keep the respective button
pressed for quick adjustment.
Confirm the number of the cells by pressing the "START/ENTER" button.
• The rechargeable battery's capacity flashes. Set the rechargeable battery's capacity with the buttons "INC" and
"DEC". Keep the respective button pressed for quick adjustment.
Confirm the rechargeable battery's capacity by pressing the "START/ENTER" button.
• The charging current flashes. Change the charging current using the button "INC" or "DEC". Keep the respective
button pressed for quick adjustment.
The maximum possible charging current depends on the battery type and number of cells. The maximum
charging power is 80 W.
Confirm the charging current with the "START/ENTER" button.
• When no display is flashing anymore, start charging by keeping the "START/ENTER" button pushed (approx.
3 seconds).
• The charger now examines the connected rechargeable battery. In case
of an error, a warning signal is output and the corresponding information is
displayed. You can stop the warning signal by pressing the "ESC/MODE/
STOP" button. You then return to the previous configuration menu.
