". Note for this feature to work the battery main connector needs to be
connected to the battery. The charger performs no other checks and will keep the cell
scan mode in operation indefinitely. To stop this operation press the "

Cell Balance Only Mode
If a battery has bee previously drained and simply requires the balancing to be
performed, then this feature can be used instead of the "
CELL BALANCE
" function
from the "
DISCHARGE
" operation. It is important that the cell of the battery have
been discharge to a safe level before performing this as overheating will occur.

The charger will then request the number of cells to be scanned and once entered the
display will change to the bar graph display "C". The numeric display can be selected by
pressing "B". Note for this feature to work the battery main connector needs to be
connected to the battery. The charger performs no other checks and will keep the cell

Cell Number Reversal
Older models of the TH20 are marked with cell numbers starting with #1 through to
#20 (The maximum number of cells that can be monitored). Cell #1 is considered to be
the cell which is connected to the negative (-ve) cell end of the battery whereas cell
#20 (in a 20 cell battery) is considered to be the cell which is connected to the positive
(+ve) end of the battery.
Many battery manufacturers use the reverse cell numbering where cell #1 is the
positive (+ve) end of the battery and in the case of a 20 cell battery the #20 cell is the
negative.
Because of this numbering technique the battery charger has an option in the cell
monitor settings to “reverse” the cell numbering for display and printing purposes. The
cell displays show which is +ve end of the battery and which is the negative so that if
the cell numbering is reversed it is shown which way round the numbering takes.
