I Charger Safety Features

Battery over temperature safety.

I Charger has provision for Lithium battery temperature moni-
toring. This feature monitors battery pack temperature using 
the optional temperature sensor. You simply attach an optional 
temperature probe to the battery with tape and if the battery 
temperature moves outside a safe charging range of 0°C to 40°C 
or 104° Fahrenheit , the I Charger suspends charging and signals 

fault condition (Red LED)

. Once temperature returns to the safe 

range then charging will continue.

Battery Bad Detection

I Charger also has bad battery detection, which triggers a 

charge  

fault (Red LED) 

if a battery stays in precondition mode for more 

than one eighth (23 minutes) of the total charge cycle time.

Automatic Charger Over Temperature Safety

During the charge process the I Charger monitors each charger 
board individually. If the temperature of an individual charge 
board reaches a high temperature condition then the charge cur-
rent on that charge board is reduced to maintain a safe operating 
temperature range. This applies to each individual charge board.

Step 1

First note that the charge ports (Boards) are numbered from the 
top down, so a three port charger will have the top charge port as 
number one and the one below that number two and the bottom 
one number three. 
The LCD screen plate is above the number one charge port. The 
LCD displays each battery’s information also from top down and is 
indicated as B1, B2, B3 etc.
