Pb (lead-sulphuric acid) battery program
23
You can select the sequence you want on the left and the number of cycles on
the right. You can balance, refresh, and break-in the battery with this function.
You can set a temporary cool-off procedure in the user’s setting. You can select
from 1 to 5 cycles.
This program is only suitable for charging Pb (lead-acid) batteries with a nominal voltage between 2 to
20V. A Pb (lead-acid) battery is completely different from a NiCd/NiMH battery. These batteries deliver
much lower current with respect to their capacity. The same limitation applies to charging. Consequently,
the optimum charge current can only be 1/10 of the capacity. You cannot fast-charge a Pb (lead-acid)
battery. Carefully follow all charging and discharging instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
Press the ‘START/ENTER’ key to make it blink and then press the ‘+’ or ‘-’ keys to change the
parameter values. Press the ‘START/ENTER’ key to store the value.
Press the ‘BATT TYPE/STOP’ key to stop the program. Press the ‘START/ENTER’
key to alter the charge current. The charger will play a chime to alert you to
the end of the process.
When the process is nearly completed, the screen will display the capacity of
the battery being charged or discharged. Press the ‘+’ or ‘-’ keys to display the
result of each cycle.
