Safe timer Calculation When charging NiCd or NiMH batteries, divide the capacity by current, then divide the result by 11.9, set this number of minutes as the value for safety timer setting. If the charger stopped at this time threshold, about 140% of the capacity will have been fed into the battery. -
Page 14: Charging Lithium Battery In The Balance Mode
This screen shows the real-time status during charge process. Press BATT TYPE/STOP key once to stop the charge process. Charging lithium battery in the balance mode This function is for balancing the voltage of Lithium-polymer battery cells while charging. In the balance mode, the battery needs to have a balance lead to connect to the individual port at the right side of the charger. -
Page 15: Fast Charging Of Lithium Battery
Fast charging of Lithium battery Charging current will become lower LiPo FAST CHG when it progress to the end of 2.0A 11.1V(3S) charging. A specific CV process will be reduced to end the charging process earlier. In fact, the charging current will goes to 1/5 when the charging process comes to 1/10. -
