Set up the charge current on the left and nominal voltage on the right.
Range of current is 0.1-5.0A, the voltage should match the battery being
charged. Press START/ENTER key for more than 3 seconds to start
charging.

START/ENTER key to alter discharge current. Press START/ENTER key
again to store the parameter value you set. Press BATT TYPE/STOP key
to end the program.
This program is only suitable for charging Pb
lead-acid
battery with nominal voltage from 2 to
20V. Pb
lead-acid
battery is completely different from NiCd/NiMH battery. These batteries can
only deliver current lower in comparison to their capacity. The same restriction applies to the
charging process. Consequently, the optimum charge current can only be 1/10 of the capacity.
Pb battery can not be used for fast-charging, please follow the instructions provided by the
battery manufacturer.
Due to the chemistry characteristic of Pb battery, the cut off point may be difficult to dete ct
sometimes. We recommend user to use CAPACITY CUT OFF feature to protect the battery.
You can press START/ENTER key to make it blink and alter the value of parameters using INC or
DEC key, press START/ENTER key to store the value.
