6. NiCd mode
NiCd
Charge current
In this menu the charge current can be set within the range 0.1 A to 5 A in increments of 50 mA using the INC and DEC buttons.
Press ENTER to conclude the setting process.
Discharge current
In this menu the discharge current can be set within the range 0.1 A to 1 A using the INC and DEC buttons. Press ENTER to
conclude the setting process.
Final discharge voltage
In this menu the termination voltage for the discharge process can be set within the range 0.1 V to 16.8 V. Press ENTER to conclude
the setting process.
Charge / Discharge cycles (Cycle)
In this menu you can set the method of working for the charge / discharge cycles.
C->D charge to discharge = ending with discharged battery
D->C discharge to charge = ending with fully charged battery
Number of cycles: 1 to 5
Press ENTER to conclude the setting process.
7. NiMH mode
NiMH
Charge current
In this menu the charge current can be set within the range 0.1 A to 5 A in increments of 50 mA using the INC and DEC buttons.
Press ENTER to conclude the setting process.
Discharge current
In this menu the discharge current can be set within the range 0.1 A to 1 A using the INC and DEC buttons. Press ENTER to
conclude the setting process.
Final discharge voltage
In this menu the termination voltage for the discharge process can be set within the range 0.1 V to 16.8 V. Press ENTER to conclude
the setting process.
Charge / Discharge cycles (Cycle)
In this menu you can set the method of working for the charge / discharge cycles. Press ENTER to conclude the setting process.
8. LiPo and LiIo mode
LiPo & LiIo
You can use the unit to charge a maximum of five Lithium cells. The combined charge method, with constant current and constant
voltage, ensures that your Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer batteries are fully charged every time. The unit starts by charging at a
constant current. As soon as the pack reaches a cell voltage of about 4 V the charger switches over to constant voltage. The constant
voltage charge process is terminated when the charge current falls below 100 mA. This ensures that the battery really is fully charged
at the end of the charge process.
Battery capacity
In this menu the capacity of the battery to be charged can be set within the range 100 mAh to 5000 mAh in increments of 50 mAh
using the INC and DEC buttons. Press ENTER to conclude the setting process.
Voltage for Lithium Ion batteries (Li-Io)
In this menu the nominal voltage of the battery to be connected for charging and discharging can be set using the INC and DEC
buttons. Possible values are 3.6 V, 7.2 V, 10.8 V, 14.4 V and 18.0 V. Press ENTER to conclude the setting process.
Voltage for Lithium-Polymer batteries (Li-Io)
In this menu the nominal voltage of the battery to be connected for charging and discharging can be set using the INC and DEC
buttons. Possible values are 3.7 V, 7.4 V, 11.1 V, 14.8 V and 18.5 V. Press ENTER to conclude the setting process.
Discharge current
In this menu the desired discharge current can be set within the range 0.1 A to 1 A using the INC and DEC buttons. Press ENTER to
conclude the setting process.
Battery type
In this menu the battery type Li-Po or Li-Io can be selected using the INC and DEC buttons. Press ENTER to conclude the setting
process.
Charge current
For safety reasons the charger always uses the 1 C value as the charge current for Lithium cells (Li-Po or Li-Io). The current is
calculated from the battery capacity you have entered.
Example for a Li-Po cell of 1500 mAh capacity: 1 C = 1500 mAh, charge current = 1.5 A
NOTE: take care to select the correct battery type!
The maximum voltage for Lithium batteries is as follows: 4.1 V per cell for Lithium-Ion (Li-Io) batteries, 4.2 V per cell for Lithium-
Polymer (Li-Po) batteries. The difference in voltage makes it extremely important to select the correct battery type (Li-Po or Li-Ion)
with great care, and to check the setting before starting the charge process. If you select the wrong battery type, the pack may be
damaged or ruined, and could even explode. Fire and injury risk!
