BALANCE CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERIES
The left side of the first line shows the type of battery to be
charged. The value on the left of the second line is the charge
current, which can be adjusted (0.1-10.0A). The right side of
the second line shows the number of cells in the battery, along
with the nominal voltage (3.7-22.2V, 1-6S).
This displays the number of cells automatically detected (R),
along with the number of cells indicated on the previous screen
(S). If both numbers are identical, you can start the charging
process by pressing the
Start/Enter
button. If the numbers do
not match, press the
Batt Type/Stop
button to go back to the
previous screen.
This screen shows the real-time status of the charge process.
Press the
Batt Type/Stop
button once to stop the charge
process.
Charging lithium batteries in the balance mode
The balance charging mode (indicated on the right of the first line of the screen)
balances the voltage of the cells in a lithium battery during the charge process. In order
to balance charge a lithium battery you must connect its balance lead to the charger in
addition to connecting the power leads to the battery. In this mode, the charger monitors
the voltage of each individual cell and controls the input current of each accordingly.
Note:
ProTek R/C recommends charging lithium batteries with a balance lead in the
Balance Mode
only.
