INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Please read this operating manual completely and attentively before using this product, as it covers a wide range of information on operating and safety. Or please do use this product in company with a specialist! Left View Top View DC input 12V~18V Ventilation Fan Lead-Acid...
SPECIAL FEATURES SPECIAL FEATURES Internal independent lithium battery balancer Set contents Ultimate 400W employs an individual-cell-voltage balancer. It is not necessary to connect an external balancer for balance charging. Balancing individual cells battery discharging During the process of discharging, Ultimate 400W can monitor and balance each cell of the battery individually.
SPECIAL FEATURES WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Capacity limit These warnings and safety notes are particularly important. Please follow the instructions for maximum The charging capacity is always calculated as the charging current multiplied by time. If the charging safety; otherwise the charger and the battery can be damaged or at worst it can cause a fire. capacity exceeds the limit, the process will be terminated automatically when you set the maximum value.

WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Connect the battery to the terminal of the charger: red is positive and black is negative. Due to the Discharging difference between resistance of cable and connector, the charger can not detect resistance of the battery The main purpose of discharging is to clean residual capacity of the battery, or to reduce the pack, the essential requirement for the charger to work properly is that the charge lead should be of battery voltage to a defined level.
LITHIUM POLYMER BALANCE CHARGE PROGRAM CONNECTION DIAGRAM LITHIUM POLYMER BALANCE CHARGE PROGRAM CONNECTION DIAGRAM Balance socket: CONNECTING THE CHARGER Ultimate 400W comes with male 4mm Bullet connectors attached to the power INPUT cables. These cables The balance wire attached to the battery must be connected to the charger with the black wire aligned with are appropriate for attaching directly to most high-quality AC-DC power supply units, such as eFUEL model the negative marking.
INITIAL PARAMETER SETUP (USERS SET UP) INITIAL PARAMETER SETUP (USERS SET UP) Initial parameter set up (Users set up) Ultimate 400W will be operated with the default value of the essential user settings when it is connected to a 12V battery for the first time. The screen displays the following information in sequence and the user Termination of NiMH and NiCd battery, the effective value ranges from 5 to 20mV can change the value of parameter on each screen.
INITIAL PARAMETER SETUP (USERS SET UP) LITHIUM BATTERY (LILON/LIPO/LIFE) PROGRAM Lithium battery (LiIon/LiPo/LiFe) program When you start a charge process, the integral safety timer automatically starts These programs are only suitable for charging and discharging Lithium batteries with a nominal voltage of running at the same time.
CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERY IN THE CHARGE MODE CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERY IN THE BALANCE MODE Charging lithium battery in the charge mode Charging lithium battery in the balance mode This charging mode is for charging Li-Po/Ion/Fe battery without balance lead. 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 balance port of the charger.
CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERY IN THE FAST CHARGE MODE CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERY IN THE STORAGE MODE Charging lithium battery in the storage mode Charging lithium battery in the fast charge mode This is for charging or discharging Lithium battery not to be used for the time being. The program will The charging current is getting smaller as the process goes to the near end term of Lithium battery determine to charge or discharge the battery to the certain voltage depending on the voltage of the battery charging.
DISCHARGING OF LITHIUM BATTERY CHARGING NICD/NIMH BATTERY IN THE CHARGE MODE Discharging of lithium battery Charging NiCd/NiMH battery in the charge mode The value of discharge current on the left can not exceed 1C, and the value This program charge the battery using the current you set up. In the auto state,you should set up the upper on the right can not be under the voltage recommended by the manufacturer limit of the charge current to avoid damage by excessive feeding current.
DISCHARGE OF NICD/NIMH BATTERY CHARGE/DISCHARGE AND DISCHARGE/CHARGE CYCLE OF NICD/NIMH BATTERY Charge/discharge and discharge/charge cycle of NiCd/NiMH battery Discharge of NiCd/NiMH battery Set discharge current on the left and the final voltage on the right. Range of the discharge current is 0.1-5.0A; range of final voltage is 0.1-25.0V. You can set up sequence on the left and the number of cycles on the Press START/ENTER key for more than 3 seconds to start the program.
CHARGING PB (LEAD-ACID) BATTERY IN THE CHARGE MODE DISCHARGING OF THE PB BATTERY Charging Pb (lead-acid) battery in the charge mode Discharging of the Pb battery ( ) This program is only suitable for charging Pb lead-acid battery with nominal voltage from 2 to 20V. Pb (...
STORAGE DATA PROGRAM LOAD DATA PROGRAM Storage data program DEC INC Set up the charge/ discharge sequence and cycle number. For your convenience, Ultimate 400W has a data storage and load program. It can store ten batteries data representing the respective specifications of batteries. You can call back the data when charging or discharging without setting up the program again.
VARIOUS INFORMATION IN THE PROGRAM WARNING AND ERROR MESSAGE Ultimate 400W incorporates a various functions of protective and monitoring the system to verify functions Various information in the program and the state of its electronics. In any case of occurring error, the screen displays the cause of error that is You can inquire the variety of information during the process of charging and discharging on the LCD self-explanatory with audible sound.
RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES CONFORMITY DECLARATION Ultimate 400W satisfy all relevant and mandatory EC directives and FCC Part 15 Subpart B: 2008 For EC directives: The product has been tested to meet the following technical standards: 30A 540Watt DC Temperature EH Adaptor XH Adaptor HP/PQ Adaptor Power Supply...
