Pro-Tronik AP680BLC - Temperature Monitoring and Control; Safety Timer Functionality; Input Voltage Monitoring; User Memory Functions

•Thebatteriesaresubjecttointernalchemicalreactionsduringchargeanddischarge,whichmodifytheirinternaltemperature.Itispossibleto
chooseamaximumtemperaturevaluewhich,oncereached,willstopautomaticallyanycharge/discharge/balanceprocess.Atemperature
sensorisprovidedwiththechargerandcanbepluggedontheleftsideofthecharger(Temp.Sensor).
•Asafetytimercanbesetupinordertoreduceaccidentrisks.Thisdoesnotaffectthefactthattheusermustbeclosetothechargerduringany
process.
•Inordertoprotecttheinputenergysource(carbatteryforexample),theinputvoltageischeckedatalltimebythecharger.Ifthevoltage
shouldriseordropoutofthechargernormaloperationvoltagelimits,anyprocesswouldbeimmediatelystopped.
•Thechargerhas5usermemoriesallowingtheusertostoreandcallbackcustomisedparametersforthebatteriesheoftencharge/discharge.
Alwayscheckthattheselectedprogramismatchingthebatteriesconnectedtothecharger.
•Thechargersoftwarefeaturesa«cycling»function.Itcanproceedupto5cyclesofcharge/discharge,allowingtostimulateandbalancethe
batterieswhenneeded.
•Dischargefunction:it’smainfunctionistotrytogetridofthebatteries“memoryeffect”inordertotrytobringbackabatterytoit’snominal
capacity.Severalcharge/dischargecyclesarenecessaryforthis.Thecharge/dischargevaluesmustmatchthebatteriesmanufacturers
warnings,inordertoavoidatoodeepdischargeorover‐charge.AttentionshouldbegiventoLithiumbatterieswhichhavenoparticular
reasonstobedischargedexceptforlongtimestoring.AdeepdischargeisfatalforaLithiumbatteryandcanbeafactoroffireorshort‐circuit.
