Defining presets
You can define up to six preset charging configurations. Each preset consists of a name, a chem
-
istry and a charge current. See “Selecting a preset,” earlier in this manual, for instructions on
selecting a preset for charging.
Note:
Remember that presets can be overridden at the charger. Preset changes made
at the charger are retained in the charger until manually changed again, or until a new
group of presets is downloaded to the charger. When you connect the charger to the
computer and launch the Charge Control Software, the program uploads and displays
the presets stored in the charger.
Perform all preset operations in the
Presets
tab.
To define a preset:
1. In the
Name
field, enter a name for the preset.
2. In the
Chem
field, select the chemistry.
3. In the
Amps
field, select the charge current.
4. If this preset will be used to charge a 6s to 10s pack, activate the
Single Pack
option (this
enables the charger to treat Ch1 and Ch2 as a single channel).
