Lithium Battery Extra Discharge Mode
You can expand the iCharger’s discharge power capacity by connecting the external capacity resistance. You should pay
special attention when expanding the discharge circuit. The balance port must be connected to the battery and the expanding
capacity resistance R should be connected in series to the positive connection. (See the following diagram)
In this mode, the lithium battery discharges through the iCharger and R, P = Pi + Pr, (Pi is the charger’s wasted power
capacity; Pr is wasted power capacity by resistance). Pi is limited by the set charger’s maximum discharge power capacity.
External capacity resistance’s setting:
R = Vbat / Iset;
P = Vbat * Iset;
R: The value of the external capacity resistance
P: Rating capacity of the external capacity resistance
Vbat: Battery voltage
Iset: Discharge current
For example: discharge a pack of 20V lithium battery at 7A
R = 20V / 7A = 2.85Ω
P = 20V X 7A = 140W

1. In any channel of the charger, MEMORY SETUP →
Discharge →Regenerative Mode →To channel, to
select Charging battery; then connect the battery for
discharging to this channel, and start the discharge
program，and this channel will be in discharging stand
by status;
2. Connect the battery as the load to another channel of
the charger, and start the charge program; the
discharging channel is activated accordingly;
3. Press STOP/START button of any channel during the
program running process to end the running status.
