iCharger Synchronous Balance Charger/Discharger
Charging Lithium battery in BALANCE mode
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).

Balance charging mode of Lithium battery. The left side of the first line
shows the type of battery you selected in the User setup (LiPo, Lilo or
LiFe). The value on the left side of second line sets the charge current and
the value on the right side of second line sets the cell count and voltage of
+
the battery pack. After setting the current and voltage, press Start/Enter for
Inc
more than 3 seconds to start the next process.
Charge current: 0.05 – 10A, Voltage: 1 – 10series (1 – 6 series for 106B)
The number of cells you set and the processor detects. The left side of the
first line 'R:xxSER' shows the number of cells detected by the iCharger and
the right side of the first line 'S:xxSER' is the number of cells set by the user.
Usually, the auto-detect number won't exceed the number set by the user. If
the numbers are different you should make sure that the configured number
and the actual number for the battery are the same and then you can start
charging by pressing Start/Enter . If not, press Batt type/Stop to go back to
the previous screen and adjust the setting.
