Constant Current Charge
This charge mode is designed primarily for
NiCd type batteries, but can be used for
any battery type, which requires a constant
current charge. The charge current is
maintained at a constant current until the
target voltage has been reached. The
parameters for the charge are as follows: -
Target Volts :
This is the voltage at
which point the charge will stop, or switch
to
Extra Time
.
Charge Amps :
This is the constant
current amps to deliver to the battery up
until the
Target Volts
has been reached.
Maximum Time:
This is the maximum
time that the main charge can be applied, if
zero is entered the extra target fail time will
be requested.
Target Fail :
If the
Target Volts
has not
been reached within this value of time then
the charge will stop. Set to zero if not
required.
Extra Time :
If set to a value greater
than zero the charge will continue for this
Extra Time
once the
Target Voltage
has
been achieved.
Extra Amps :
If the
Extra Time
has
been set to a value greater than zero this
defines the constant current amps to
deliver to the battery during the
Extra
Time
.
Overcharge Volts :
During the
Extra Time
the charge will stop if the battery
voltage reaches this value.
