How to Confirm Charging Current
Make sure to know the maximum charging current of the battery before
charging, never use excessive current to charge to damage your battery,
which will result in over heat even explosion during the charging process.
The charging and discharging capacity of battery is usually marked with
C value. Multiplying the charging C value and battery capacity equals to the
maximum charging current supported by the battery. For example, for a 1000
mAh battery with a charging capacity of 5C, the maximum charging current
would be 1000×5=5000mA; therefore, the maximum charging current is 5A.
For a lithium battery, if it is impossible to confirm the supported charging
C value, please set the charging current below 1C, for the sake of its (lithium
battery) safety.
The reference relation between C value and charging time:
charging time ≥60 minutes/ charging C value (e.g. it needs around 60~70
minutes to complete charging with 1C). Due to differences in battery
conversion efficiency, the time to complete the charging might be extended.
Operating the Charger
Power on Q8 smart charger, connect the battery, and short touch
the middle key of the touch board to enter the task setting menu as follows:
