Special Features DC Power Supply The Onyx® KX80 is integrated with a DC power supply function with a 13.8V output and 10W–80W power range. AGM Charge and Cold Charge For Pb batteries, there are two charging modes: AGM charge and cold charge. Optimized Operating Software The Onyx KX80 features an AUTO function that automatically sets the current during charging/discharging. When charging lithium batteries, this may prevent overcharging.

6. Program Stop During the charging process, press STOP to stop the charging process. 7. Program Complete When charging is complete, a tone sounds. Charging Program Operation programs are different, based on battery type. Follow the chart below.
DC Power Supply To use the Onyx KX80 as a power supply, connect it to an AC power source. When the left side green LED lights, the power supply is ready. The DC output power is adjustable from 10W to 80W. The output voltage is 13.8V. The power of DC output is shared with the charger power. When you increase the power of DC output, the charger power decreases accordingly. (DC Power + Charger Power = 80 Watts). CAUTION: The maximum DC Power output is 80W.
START/ENTER SAVE PROGRAM SAVE Battery Memory Settings and Usage The charger can store up to 10 different charge/discharge profiles for your convenience. The stored profiles can be recalled quickly without having to navigate the setup process. To alter the parameter value in the program, press START/ ENTER. When it begins to blink, change the value with INC or DEC. Press START/ENTER once to store the value. IMPORTANT: The following screens use a 2S (7.4V) LiPo battery as an example. 1.
