Page 7: Warning And Safety Notes
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES These warnings and safety notes are particularly important. Please follow the instructions for maximum safety; otherwise the charger and the battery can be damaged or at worst it can cause a fire. Never leave the charger unattended when it is connected to its power supply. - Page 8 WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Please bear in mind the following points before commencing charging: Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery you are charging? Did you set up adequate current for charging or discharging? Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in series, i.e.
- Page 9 WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Charging During charge process, a specific quantity of electrical energy is fed into the battery. The charge quantity is calculated by multiplying charge current by charge time. The maximum permissible charge current varies depending on the battery type or its performance, and can be found in the information by the battery manufacturer.
- Page 10 WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Discharging The main purpose of discharging is to clean the residual capacity of the battery, or to reduce the battery' voltage to a defined level. The same attention should be paid to the discharging process as the charging process. The final discharge voltage should be set up correctly to avoid deep discharging.
