  • Page 9: Lithium Battery Program

    The user must check the Li Type in the User setup program before connecting a lithium battery. The iCharger provides a number of Lithium programs including Balance, Normal, Fast and Storage. Only the Balance mode requires the balance lead connected. However, the other modes will provide additional per-cell over-voltage protection if the balance lead is connected compared to running them without it, where they can only utilize the total pack voltage.
  • Page 10 This function is for balancing the voltage of Lithium-polymer battery cells while charging. In the balance mode the battery balance lead must be connected to the balance port on the right side of the iCharger. The pinout of the balance port is shown in the diagram below. Charging in this mode is different from the normal CHARGE mode because the iCharger can monitor the voltage of individual cells and adjust the input current fed into each cell to normalize the voltage (for example: LiPo battery within 4.2V).

  • Page 11: Charging A Lithium Battery In Normal Charge Mode

    The iCharger first charges with constant current (CC) according to the user setting then constant voltage (CV) when the charging voltage reaches the peak point. In the CV phase the current gradually falls. The iCharger will terminate charging when the current falls below than 1/10 of the configured charge current.

  • Page 12: "Storage" Charge/Discharge A Lithium Battery

    The lowest allowable cell voltage depends on the type of Lithium battery: 2.50V for Lilo, 3.00V for LiPo and 2.00V for LiFe per cell. If the battery is connected to the balance port, the iCharger can monitor the individual cell voltages. The discharge will stop immediately if any cell falls below the configured final voltage.

  • Page 13: Lithium Battery In Monitoring Mode

    Lithium battery in monitoring mode When you use other devices to charge or discharge Lithium pack, the iCharger can monitor each cell’s voltage, battery temperature, charge time and so on, if one of the batteries appears over-charged, over-discharged, over-hot, over-capacity or over-time ,the iCharger will alarm with noise “Di…..” and blink the raleted information.

  • Page 14: Pre-Charging A Lithium Battery

    If the battery is over-discharged and the voltage is too low then in the Normal charge or Fast charge modes the iCharger will notify the user of pre-charging with a low current (100mA). This helps to increase the battery voltage to the within the allowable range for normal charging. The user can set the pre-charging time in the Lithium Check time screen in the User setup.

  • Page 16: Pb(Lead-Acid) Battery Program

    Synchronous Balance Charger/Discharger 1010B/106B Pb(lead-acid) battery program This program is for charging Pb (lead-acid) batteries with nominal voltages from 2 to 36V. Lead-acid, VRLA or Gel batteries are totally different from NiCd or NiMH. They can only deliver relatively lower current compared to their capacity and charging can only be done at relatively low rates compared to other chemistries.

  • Page 17: Electric Motor Drive

    You can easily break-in new brushed electric motors using a variable voltage and running time. Note that the iCharger cannot directly drive brushless DC motors and that brushless motors do require or benefit from a breaking-in process. With this function you also check the motor performance to optimize your power-train.

  • Page 18: Data Save/Load Program

    1010B/106B Data save/load program The iCharger has a storage and load program for your convenience. This feature can store up to 10 battery datasets by number. Each dataset represent the individuals settings for a particular set of batteries. Datasets can be reloaded for charging or discharging to save having to re-enter all the parameter values again by hand.
