When you have set the mode, navigate to "CYCLE" and hold the
"START / ENT." button pressed in. The process begins, using the
mode you have selected.
Note:
The pause between cycles can be adjusted in the "User settings"
menu (see P. 10).
The following table explains the individual user selection options:

In "AUTOMATIC" mode the charger automa-

In "Discharge" mode the battery is discharged

(max. 36 W). The final discharge voltage is
defined by the "Discharge voltage" parameter.
In "RE-PEAK" mode it is possible to define the
number of re-peaks (1 ... 3) using the "RE-PEAK"
parameter in the Mode Select menu. With old

is worked through in sequence. After every peak
the charger automatically waits for five minutes.
After this pause the next charge process starts,
and this continues until all "re-peaks" and the
"normal peak" have been completed.
In "CYCLE" mode a battery is alternately char-

Between the individual charge / discharge pro-

The charger can bring Li-xx batteries to the follow-
ing voltages prior to storage (e.g. over the Win-
ter): LiPo/LiHV: 3.8 V/C, LiIo: 3.7 V/C, LiFe: 3.3

When used with NiCd and NiMH batteries, the Power Peak
EQ-BID switches over to a trickle (maintenance) charge at the end
of the main charge process.
The CC-CV charge process consists of three phases, and is used
for the following battery types: LiFe, LiIo, LiPo and Pb
1. In the CC (Constant Current) Phase the charge current is maintai-
ned at a constant level until the final charge voltage is reached.
2. This phase is followed by the CV (Constant Voltage) phase, in
which the voltage is maintained at a constant level. The battery is
now already charged to approximately 85 - 90% of full capacity,
and the charge current is reduced further.
3. When 98% capacity is reached (charge current = capacity / 10)
the cut-off melody sounds and the cut-off display appears on the
charger's screen. In practical terms the battery is fully charged,
and can be disconnected from the charger.

The process is switched off if all the cell voltages
are adequately balanced, and the defined "TVC
voltage" (in the "Memory name" menu) is rea-
ched. The charge current is not reduced. This is
a charge process which charges the battery very
rapidly, with a good compromise between cell
balance, charged-in capacity and charge time.
The process is switched off if all the cell voltages
are adequately balanced, the defined "TVC
voltage" is reached (in the "Memory name"
menu), and the charge current has fallen to
10%. This is a charge process which produces
very well-balanced cells and optimum charged-
in capacity.
