LITHIUM BATTERY (LILO/LIPO/LIFE) PROGRAM
CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERY IN THE CHARGE MODE
Lithium Battery (LiIo/LiPo/LiFe) Program
These programs are only suitable for charging and discharging Lithium batteries with
a nominal voltage of 3.3V, 3.6V and 3.7V per cell. These batteries need to adopt different
charge technique that is termed constant current (CC) and a constant voltage (CV)
method. The charge current varies according to the battery capacity and performance.
The Lithium battery is charged at a
constant current until it reaches the final
charge voltage of 4.2V per cell (B). After
this point the voltage is kept at a constant
level, and the residual charge takes the
form of a declining current curve (C)
until the cut-off point (D) is reached.
Charge current = C/10. At this point the
battery can be disconnected from the
charger, and is ready for use.
The final voltage of charge process is also very important; it should be precisely
matched with the charged voltage of the battery. They are 4.2V for LiPo, 4.1V for Lilo,
and 3.6V for LiFe. The charge current and nominal voltage as for cell count set on the
charge program must always be correct for the battery to be charged.
When you wish to alter a parameter value in the program, press start/enter key to make
it blink then change the value with Inc> or <Dec key. The value will be stored by pressing
start/enter key once.
The left side of the first line shows the type of battery you
choose. The value on the left of the second line of the
charger is current user set, After setting the current and
voltage, press START/ENTER key for more than 3 seconds
to start the process.(charge current: 0.1-\10.0A,
voltage: 3.7-22.2V).
This displays the number of cells you set up and the
processor detects. “R” shows the number of cells detected
by the charger and “S” is the number of cells set by you at
the previous screen. If both numbers are identical you can
start charging by press START/ENTER button. If not, press
BATT TYPE/STOP button to go back to previous screen to
carefully check the number of cells of the battery pack
before going ahead.
This screen shows the real-time status during charge
process. Press BATT TYPE/STOP key once to stop
the charge process.
Charging lithium battery in the charge mode
This charging mode is for charging Li-Po/Ion/Fe battery without balance lead.
