Lithium battery (LiIo/LiPo/LiFe) program
These programs are only suitable for charging and discharging Lithium batteries with a
nominal voltage of 3.3V, 3.6V and 3.7V per cell. These batteries need to adopt different
charge technique that is termed a constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC)
method. The charge current varies according to the battery capacity and performance.
The final voltage of charge process is also very important; it should be precisely
matched with the charade voltage of the battery. They are 4.2V for LiPo, 4.1V for Lilo,
and 3.6V for LiFe. The charge current and nominal voltage as for cell count set on the
charge program must always be correct for the battery to be charged.
When you are willing to alter the parameter value in the program, press start/enter key
to make it blink then change the value with Inc> or <Dec key. The value will be stored by
pressing start/enter key once.

Charging of lithium battery

This charging mode is for charging Li-Po/Ion/Fe battery without balance lead.
The left side of the first line shows the type of battery
you select at the users setting. The value on the left

Balance charging of lithium battery

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 at the right side of the charger. And you need to connect the battery's power
lead to the output of charger. Charging in this mode is different from the normal modes,
because the built-in processor monitors voltage of individual cell and control input current
fed into each cell to equalized voltage of individual cell.
