"Storage" Charge/Discharge A Lithium Battery; Discharging A Lithium Battery - iCharger 1010B User Manual

iCharger Synchronous Balance Charger/Discharger

"Storage" charge/discharge a Lithium battery

This mode is for charging/discharging a Lithium battery that is not to be used for an extended period. The
program determines whether to charge or discharge the battery based on the configured target voltage and
the measured initial voltage of the battery. The nominal target storage voltage depends on the type of Lithium
battery: 3.75V/cell for Lilo, 3.85V/cell for LiPo and 3.3V/cell for LiFe. If at the start the battery voltage exceeds
the target storage voltage the program will start to discharge rather than charge.

Discharging a Lithium battery

In this mode, you can set the target per-cell voltage and hence the final voltage (final voltage=cell
voltage*number of cells). 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.
