F) Charge Or Discharge Battery Pack - VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 600 DUO Operating Instructions Manual

f) Charge or discharge battery pack

• Connect a battery to each of the battery connections 1 & 2 (12). You can connect one or two different batteries.
Connect the balancer connections (11). Always connect these aligned to the right.
The default setting of the charger is charging in series. Always connect the charger to the battery pack with
the connecting cables.
• The fan (1) must always run during operation of the charger, in order to ensure sufficient cooling.
When charging lithium batteries, it is always advisable to connect the balancer connections and charge
in balancer mode. In that case, the charger automatically detects the battery type. If this is not the case,
it must be set manually. The charger will still charge even if the balancer cable is not used. There will,
however, be an audible warning that the balancer cable has not been inserted.
• You can connect one or two different batteries. Connect the balancer connections (11).

'Charge' operating mode
1
If the 'Charge' operating mode is set, the charger charges batteries at up to 150 W per channel, unless an alternative
power distribution has been set.
'Discharge' without discharge device operating mode
2
If 'Discharger' operating mode is set, the charger discharges batteries at up to 8 W discharging power.
'Store' operating mode
3
If the 'Store' operating mode is set, the charger determines the most appropriate battery pack voltage for storage. If
this voltage is not met, the charger starts charging automatically. If the voltage is higher, the discharging process is
initiated until the ideal storage voltage is reached.
