«Lithium»programdetails
Thisprogramistakingcareofcharge/discharge/balance/storingofLithiumbatteries.DependingofthekindofLithiumbatteryyouentered
inthe“UserSelectProgram”function,thekindofbatteryproposedwillbedifferenthere.Ifyouwishtochangethetypeofbatteryyouaregoing
tocharge,pleasechangethevaluein«UserSelect»‐>Li‐Po/V.Type».
LithiumBatteriesneedbetween5and10cyclestogettheirfullperformance,sopleasemakesureyouchargethemcorrectlyanddonot
dischargethemtoofastortoodeepbetweenthefirstuses.

ThisfunctionallowsyoutolaunchthechargeprocessofyourLithiumbattery.Indicatethemaximumcharge
currentneeded,thencheckthatthevoltageandnumberofcellsarecorrectlydetectedonceyouplugthebattery.
Alwaysplugthechargecableandthenonlythebalancingcabletothecharger(ifthebatteryhasabalance
connector).Inthecaseyourbatterywouldbeequippedwithadifferentbalanceconnectorthantheoneacceptedby
thecharger,pleasecontactyourbatterymanufacturer/distributortogetthecorrectadapter.
Doublecheckallparametersandconnections,andlaunchthechargingprocess.IfthecelldetectionisnotOK,press
“Stop”andcheckthebattery.Ifyoudonotvalidateorstopthecellsdetectionafter20seconds,thechrgerwillstop
theprocessandbringyoubacktopreviousscreen.
Ifyouareusingthebalanceconnector,youcan,duringthecharge/dischargeprocess,checkeachcellvoltage
individuallyinrealtime,bypressing“Inc/Dec”.
Thechargerwillstopthechargeoncethebatteryisfull.


Discharge
Sameasabove,butfordischargingthebattery.Thedischargevoltagelimitissetupautomaticallybythecharger
followingthekindofbatteryselectedinthe“UsersetProgram”function.

Storage
ThisfunctionallowsyoutoprepareyourLithiumbatteriesforlongtime,bycharging,ordischargingthebattery
untilthecellsreachthenominalvoltageforstocking,hereagain,followingthekindofLithiumbatteryselected.
NeverstoreafullychargedorfullydischargedLithiumbattery,thiswoulddamagethebatteryanddropit’s
performances.

FastCharge
ThefastchargeusesadifferentalgorythmforchargingtheLithiumbatteries,andreducesthetimeinthelast
percentsofcharging.Normalchargeisalotlonger,duetothefactthatqhenthecellsvoltageisgettingcloseof
maximumvoltage,thechargecurrentreducesandgoesverylow,tofillupthelastbitsofthebattery,andthiscan
beduringoveroneandhalfhourormore.Whenselectingfastcharge,thechargerwillkeepahighchargecurrent
untilthebatteryreachesalmostit’smaximumvoltage,andwillcutthechargedirectly.Using
thisfunction,the
batterywillnotbechargedat100%reallytoavoidoverchargerisksbutitisaverycomfortableprogramtocharge
onthefieldalittlefaster.
