C) Connections On The Charger; D) System Menu - Settings - VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 600 DUO Operating Instructions Manual

• If you wish to operate the charger with DC voltage, connect the 9 - 32 V DC DC voltage connection (16) using a
suitable cable with XT60 connector (not included) to a DC voltage source, e.g. a laboratory power supply in ac-
cordance with the 'Technical data'. You can use a power adapter or, in dry conditions, a car battery. Pay attention
to the charge status of your car battery when on the move.
We recommend a battery with 5S/6S and more than 18 V DC voltage as a DC supply.
Do not connect both power supply connections simultaneously. Do not attempt to use the charger to charge
a battery with one of the two AC voltages and a DC voltage supply at the same time.

c) Connections on the charger

• Batteries packs are connected to the two battery connections 1 & 2 (12) for charging.
• The two balancer connections (11) are used for connection of the balancer cable. Always connect the balancer
cable to the socket with the connector aligned to the right.
The charger automatically detects the number of cells if a balancer cable is connected.
• Connect an external temperature sensor for battery temperature monitoring (not included) to the temperature
sensor connections 1 & 2 (13).
• A motor with controller for speed measurements can be connected to the Motor connection (5).
• A servo motor for determining/checking angle of rotation settings can be connected to the Servo connection (6).
• A discharge device can be connected to the EXT.DISC discharge connection (7) for rapid discharging. Discharge
capacities of up to 200 W are possible.
The PC link connection (3) does not have a regular function in normal operation. It is used to update the
charger firmware when the manufacturer makes firmware updates available.
d) System menu – settings
Press and hold the rotary switch for a charging channel 1 (10) to open the system menu with the settings. You can set
the following system parameters:

Explanation of the function
Select one of the available menu languages.
Set the maximum input power between 100 and 700 W if you are operating the
charger with a DC source and its power (P=UxI) is less than the maximum power
required by the charger.
Set the min. input voltage between 9 and 24 V DC if you are operating the charger
with a DC source. If the set voltage is not met, the charger indicates a warning mes-
sage: 'Voltage too low'.
You can divide the power differently over the two charging channels. Power is typi-
cally divided evenly over the two charging channels. At 300 W, that is 150 W per
channel.
The charger terminates the charging process if the maximum capacity value is
reached. The capacity value can be adjusted.
The charger terminates the charging process if the set maximum charging duration
is reached.
