1.4. Terminating Charge
The charge process can be stopped by allowing the charge to finish, unplugging the battery, or
by aborting charge.
1.4.1. Charge Complete
If the battery is left charging until reaching a full charge, the display bar
will invert and say CHARGE COMPLETE allowing you to see from a distance
that the cycle has finished. You will also see a summary of the elapsed
charge time and amp-hours delivered to the battery.
Figure 7: On charge complete,
voltage, time, and amp-hours still visible
With batteries that have a constant voltage end of charge mode, it is possible for small currents
to continue flowing into the battery when the output says complete. CHARGE COMPLETE does not
mean that the output is disabled, just that the full voltage has been reached and the charge
current has decayed below the Complete Amps threshold specified for the profile.
1.4.2. Pack Disconnect
You can also stop the charge by simply disconnecting the battery from the charger. Once the
battery is removed, the screen will return to saying CONNECT BATTERY. Be aware that you cannot
see the elapsed amp-hours and charge time when the battery is disconnected. If the battery is
plugged back in within 5 seconds, then it will resume charging from the previous amp-hours and
time, but if the delay is longer then it will start a new charge cycle and the previous charge
statistics will be lost.
1.4.3. Abort Charge
Finally, it is possible to stop the charge process while charging is underway without unplugging
the battery by pressing and holding the top button until Abort Charge pops up. The Satiator will
return to the active profile list allowing you to scroll through and select a different charge profile.
