Imax B5 - Lithium Polymer Battery Operations; Li-Po Charge Parameter Configuration

Lithium polymer battery program
These programs are only suitable for
charging and discharging Lithium-polymer
batteries with a nominal voltage of 3.7V/cell.
These batteries need to adopt different
charge technique is termed a constant
voltage (CV) and constant current (CC)
method. The charge current varies
according to the battery capacity, and is
usually C/2 rate (half capacity as a charge
current). The final voltage of charge
process is also very important;it should be
4.2V/cell for the nominal voltage of
3.7V/cell. If the final voltage exceeds by
more than 1% during charge at any reason
the battery will explode. 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
DEC of INC key. The value will be stored by
pressing start/enter key once.

2.OA 11.1V(3S)
This shows the number of cells
you set up and the processor
detects. `R`shows the number
of cells found by the charger
and `S`is the number of cells
selected by you at the previous
screen. If both numbers are
identical you can start charging
by press start enter button. If
not, press batt type stop button
to go back to previous
screen.Then carefully check
the number of cells of the
battery pack to charge again.
The screen shows the present
situation during charge process.
To stop charging press batt
type stop key once.
The value on the left side of
second line sets a charge
current and the value on the
right side of second line sets
the voltage of the battery
pack.After setting the current
and voltage press start enter
key for more than 3 seconds to
start the process.(Charge
current: 0.1---5.0A, Voltage: 1---
