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.

PROGRAM SELECT

 

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 

down (–) Button (I)

 or 

Up (+) Button (J) 

to go to one of the control 

screens (CHARgE or DISCHARgE) to do what your battery needs. Correctly connect 
your Pb battery to the charger. Press the 

Select/Start Button (k)

 and adjust charg-

ing parameters as needed. Press and hold the 

Select/Start Button 

(approximately 3 

seconds) until the screen changes to start the battery check/charge sequence. After  
confirmation, charging starts and information will show on the LCD screen.
