Lithium Battery (Lilo/Lipo/Life) Program; Charging Lithium Battery In The Charge Mode - ProTek R/C Prodigy 610 Instruction Manual

LITHIUM BATTERY (LILO/LIPO/LIFE) PROGRAM

Lithium Battery (LiIo/LiPo/LiFe) Program
These programs are only suitable for charging and discharging Lithium batteries with a nominal
voltage of 3.3V, 3.6V and 3.7V per cell. These batteries need to adopt different charge technique
that is termed constant current (CC) and a constant voltage (CV) method. The charge current varies
according to the battery capacity and performance.
The Lithium battery is charged at a constant
current until it reaches the final charge voltage
of 4.2V per cell (B). After this point the voltage
is kept at a constant level, and the residual
charge takes the form of a declining current
curve (C) until the cut-off point (D) is reached.
Charge current = C/10. At this point the battery
can be disconnected from the charger, and is
ready for use.
The final voltage of charge process is also very important; it should be precisely matched with the
charged voltage of the battery. They are 4.2V for LiPo, 4.1V for Lilo, and 3.6V for LiFe. The charge
current and nominal voltage as for cell count set on the charge program must always be correct for
the battery to be charged.
When you are willing to alter the parameter value in the program, press start/enter key to make it
blink then change the value with Inc> or <Dec key. The value will be stored by pressing start/enter
key once.

CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERY IN THE CHARGE MODE

Charging lithium battery in the charge mode
This charging mode is for charging Li-Po/Ion/Fe battery without balance lead.
The left side of the first line shows the type of battery you choose.
The value on the left of the second line of the charger is current user
set, After setting the current and voltage, press START/ENTER key
for more than 3 seconds to start the process.(charge current: 0.1-
10.0A, voltage: 3.7-22.2V).
This displays the number of cells you set up and the processor
detects. "R" shows the number of cells detected by the charger and
"S" is the number of cells set by you at the previous screen. If both
numbers are identical you can start charging by press
START/ENTER button. If not, press BATT TYPE/STOP button to go
back to previous screen to carefully check the number of cells of the
battery pack before going ahead.
This screen shows the real-time status during charge process. Press
BATT TYPE/STOP key once to stop the charge process.
