8. NiMH Charging
When charging NiMH batteries, the charger is
switched off using the Delta Peak Method.
■ Connect battery terminal with correct polarity
to the charge connector.
■ Initiate charge process by pressing and hold-
ing the start button. The charging process
can be stopped at any time by repeatedly
pressing the start button.
■ During the charging process, total voltage,
charging current and charged capacity are
shown on the LC display on an alternating
basis.
9. Balancing Without Charging
1. Use the balancer lead to connect a lithium
battery to the charger via the balancer
connection.
2. Ensure correct polarity and position when
connecting. The black wire of the balancer
lead must be aligned with the arrow mark on
the charger casing.
3. Ensuring correct polarity, now connect the
main power cables of the battery to the con-
nection at the charger (red = + / black = -).
4. Briefly press the Start button.
5. The battery voltage is shown in the display
during the charging process.
6. Briefly press the Start button again to stop
the balancing process.
10. Fault Signalling
