HOW TO CONFIGURE THE CHARGER FOR LiPo, LiFePo4 or Li-Ion batteries

Introduction:

I didn´t find this procedure in any video or tutorial out there, so I decided to write this step-by-step

instructions, just to help other people to configure their 4 button chargers for other than LiPo batteries.

Here, Accucell 6 Balancer/Charger is shown, but all other 4 button units are very similar and will work in very

similar way.

By default, the Lithium Battery Program is set for LiPo batteries, which means 3.7 volts per cell setup.

As an example, we will describe the procedure for changing from LiPo Type battery to LiFe Type battery. The

procedure is the same in one way or the other and for Li-Ion batteries as well.

To select the desired Lithium Cell Type in our charger, it will be necessary to select the corresponding Cell

Type Voltages. Remember this: 3.3V/cell for LiFePo4 (or LiFe), 3.6V/cell for Li-Ion, and 3.7V/cell for LiPo.

The procedure:

1) Turn on the unit by connecting to a suitable power supply. It is not necessary to connect the battery now.

The setup process is done before the charge, discharge or balance processes and can be performed with no

batteries connected to the charge or balance ports.

2) From USER SET PROGRAM--> screen, click the "START/ENTER" key. By default, the LiPo option will

appear.

3) Click the "START/ENTER" key again. The actual Type voltage value (3.7 V if LiPo type is present setting)

will start blinking.

4) Click the "+" or "-" keys to adjust the V.Type to 3.3 volts (the LiFe Batt cell voltage). You can also select

3.6 for LiIo batts.

5) Once the correct type/voltage is selected click the "TYPE/STOP" key to exit the menu with the desired

configuration.

6) Ready, your unit is ready for LiFe (or any other selected) battery processes.

NOTE: Repeat this procedure each time you need to change the Cell Type voltage. For instance, take the

voltage back to 3.7 V if need to charge LiPo batteries again later. A very useful feature is the capability of this

charger to store in memory up to five different configurations for your most usual batteries. You simply call

for the desired configuration and all the parameters will be loaded accordingly.
