Use this menu to set a time limit on a lithium battery check. The battery charger can
automatically identify the number of series cells in a lithium battery pack. Normally
this checking process is very quick; however, it will not work properly if the battery
pack is damaged or over-discharged. Very large capacity packs will also take longer
to check. To prevent errors, the charger default is to spend up to 10 minutes to
identify the number of cells. Time limit can be between 5 and 60 minutes.

value is set too high, a battery may be over-charged. When this value is set too
low, the charger will not charge a battery to full capacity.

Pb BATT
The nature of a Lead-Acid or Sealed-Lead-Acid battery is very different from that of
Lithium, Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries. The output current of a Pb battery is lower than
other batteries relative to their capacities. Furthermore, lead-acid batteries can’t be
charged at a level greater than 1/10 their capacity. For example, a 5000mAh lead
acid battery can’t be charged at a rate greater than 0.5A. For more details on the
charge and discharge capabilities of your battery, please refer to the charging data
supplied by the battery manufacturer.
Press the
