    Keep this manual for future reference. Features The VLE8 is an advanced charger, able to charge, balance and discharge rechargeable batteries. It is microprocessor-controlled just like all the best chargers and will balance the individual cells in your Li-XX batteries. It will charge from 0.1 to 5.0 A and is capable of charging packs up to 6S packs. It features input voltage protection so as not to flatten your car battery at the field and will also storage charge your packs for when you are not using them.

    VLE8 Internal, independent lithium battery balancer: The charger features an individual cell-voltage balancer, which makes it unnecessary to use an external balancer for balance charging. Individual cell balancing during discharging: During discharging, the charger will individually monitor and balance each cell in the battery. When the voltage of any cell is deemed abnormal, an error message will be displayed and the discharging process will end automatically.

    VLE8 Charging a Lithium Battery in Storage Mode This function is useful when you desire to charge or discharge a battery, which will not be used immediately. This programme is only to be used with following batteries: Li-poly of 3.85 V, Li-ion of 3.75 V and Li-Fe of 3.3 V.
  • Page 11 VLE8 The Nickel Programme (NiCd, NiMH) Charging a NiCd/NiMH Battery in Charge Mode This programme will charge your battery using the user-set current. It is recommended to carefully set the upper limit for the charge current to avoid damage by excessive charging. Some batteries with low resistance and capacity can lead to higher current in auto charging mode.
