  • Page 27: 9、Task Settings And Notes 2

    Operation and Setup Task Settings and Notes The F6+ smart charger operates in a series charging mode. When connecting to the battery, the battery output cable must be connected. For lithium batteries, it is strongly recommended to connect the balance ports for balanced charging so as to ensure that the charger can accurately monitor the voltage of each cell and balance the cells having poor consistency.
  • Page 28 Operation and Setup Task Settings and Notes External Discharge Functions The external discharge function uses an external high-power load resistor to quickly discharge the battery in an accurate way. When using it, the battery to be discharged needs to be connected to the input port, and the output is connected to the resister load. It is recommended that the resistance of the load be between 1.5 and 2.5 ohms.
  • Page 29 Operation and Setup Task Settings and Notes Regenerative Discharge Function The F6+ smart charger has a regenerative discharge power up to a capacity of 250W x 4 ,which can take the battery power of the output ends back to input end's battery in the balance way . There is no need to connect to or turn on the power during operation,just directlyconnect the battery ,which going to receive power, to the charger's input port, and wait forthe system self...
