4. CHARGING CURRENT SETTING
It is important to consider the maximum allowed charging current of your battery
before charging it. A charging current higher than the maximum allowable charg-
ing current may damage your battery and may cause a fire and explosion of the
battery during charging.
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 1000mAh battery
with a charging capacity of 5C the maximum charging current would be1000x5=
5000mA therefore, the maximum charging current is 5A.
For lithium battery, if it can not confirm the supported charging C value, please
set the charging current below 1C for safety reasons.
The reference relation between C value
and charging time: charging time 260
minutes/ charging C value (it there-
fore needs around 60~ 70 minutes to
complete charging with 1C). Due to the
difference in battery conversion efficien-
cy, the time might be extended.
