Instructions for Use

« Lithium » program details
This program is taking care of charge / discharge / balance / storing of Lithium batteries. Depending of the kind of Lithium battery you entered
in the “User Select Program” function, the kind of battery proposed will be different here. If you wish to change the type of battery you are going
to charge, please change the value in « User Select » ->Li-Po / V. Type ».
Lithium Batteries need between 5 and 10 cycles to get their full performance, so please make sure you charge them correctly and do not
discharge them too fast or too deep between the first uses.
Charge
This function allows you to launch the charge process of your Lithium battery. Indicate the maximum charge
current needed, then check that the voltage and number of cells are correctly detected once you plug the battery.
Always plug the charge cable and then only the balancing cable to the charger (if the battery has a balance
connector). In the case your battery would be equipped with a different balance connector than the one accepted by
the charger, please contact your battery manufacturer / distributor to get the correct adapter.
Double check all parameters and connections, and launch the charging process. If the cell detection is not OK, press
“Stop” and check the battery. If you do not validate or stop the cells detection after 20 seconds, the chrger will stop
the process and bring you back to previous screen.
If you are using the balance connector, you can, during the charge / discharge process, check each cell voltage
individually in real time, by pressing “Inc / Dec”.
The charger will stop the charge once the battery is full.
Discharge
Same as above, but for discharging the battery. The discharge voltage limit is setup automatically by the charger
following the kind of battery selected in the “User set Program” function.
Storage
This function allows you to prepare your Lithium batteries for long time, by charging, or discharging the battery
until the cells reach the nominal voltage for stocking, here again, following the kind of Lithium battery selected.
Never store a fully charged or fully discharged Lithium battery, this would damage the battery and drop it’s
performances.
Fast Charge
The fast charge uses a different algorythm for charging the Lithium batteries, and reduces the time in the last
percents of charging. Normal charge is a lot longer, due to the fact that qhen the cells voltage is getting close of
maximum voltage, the charge current reduces and goes very low, to fill up the last bits of the battery, and this can
be during over one and half hour or more. When selecting fast charge, the charger will keep a high charge current
until the battery reaches almost it’s maximum voltage, and will cut the charge directly. Using this function, the
battery will not be charged at 100% really to avoid over charge risks but it is a very comfortable program to charge
on the field a little faster.
