LITHIUM BATTERY (LiLo/LIPO/LIFE/LIHV)
Li-XX Battery Balance Charge Mode
This program ensures that each cell reaches the correct voltage after the final
charge. The internal processor monitors the voltage and current of each cell
during charging. The internal processor balances the voltage of each cell if
necessary. Of course the charging and balancing cables must be connected to
the charger.
Battery Fast Charge Mode
The charge current gets smaller and smaller as the charge finished. The fast
charging program will finish charge in advance and decrease the CV and balance
process. Actually, when the fast charge process finished, the charging current will
go to l /5 of initial value. The charging capacity may be a bit smaller than normal
charging capacity, but the charging time will be decreased.
Li-XX Battery Storage Charge Mode
The STORAGE function allows safe storage for a limited period of time. The
program analyses and determines whether the battery must be charged or
discharged to reach the storage voltage depending on the type of Lithium battery:
3.70V for Lilo - 3.80V for LiPo - 3.85V for LiHv - 3.3V for LiFe per cell. If the
voltage of the battery in its initial stage is higher than the storage voltage level,
the program will start discharging the battery.
Li-XX Battery Dicharge Mode
The main purpose of discharging a Li-XX battery is to analyse the rest capacity
of the battery, or to reduce the battery' voltage to a defined level. The final
discharge voltage should be set up correctly to avoid deep discharging. Lithium
batteries cannot be discharged to lower than the minimum allowed voltage, or
it will cause a rapid loss of capacity or a total failure. Generally, lithium batteries
don't need to be discharged. Please pay attention to the minimum voltage of
lithium batteries to protect them.
Lithium batteries are recommended to be discharged partially rather than fully
(Please use the recommended Storage Charge Mode).
