Definitions, abbreviations and symbols (in alphabetic order) 
  
Battery types: 
 
NiXX  = NiCd (nickel-cadmium), NiMH (nickel-metal hybrid), NiZn (Nickel-Zinc) 
LiXX  =  LiPo  (lithium-ion  polymer),  Li-Ion  (lithium-ion),  LiFe  (LiPh),  (lithium-phosphate),  LiHV  (Lithium  High 
Voltage), LiS (lithium-sulphur) 
Pb   = lead battery (also lead-jelly) 
 
Modes: 
 
Charge  = charging  
Ch.Dis  = charging and then discharging (a double process) 
Condit  = charging - discharging (capacity check) - charging to storage voltage 
Disch.  = discharging 
Dis.Ch.  = discharging and then charging (a double process) 
Format  = special formatting and NiXX package regeneration program 
Store  = special program used to prepare LiXX packages for longer storing 
Test  =  special  program  for  measurement  of  the  internal  resistance  of  battery  pack  (tested  by  discharge 
impulse) 
 
Parameters and abbreviations: 
 
↑  =  voltage  change  tendency  marker;  displayed  In  the  menu  window  above  „V”  (Volt)  during  charging  and 
discharging, in the balancer window it marks the cell with the highest voltage. 
↓  =  voltage  change  tendency  marker;  displayed  In  the  menu  window  above  „V”  (Volt)  during  charging  and 
discharging, in the balancer window it marks the cell with the lowest voltage. 
Δ (with NiCd and NiMH) = Delta-Peak value; recognizing the charging state of NiCd and NiMH batteries 
Δ (with LiXX and NiZn) = cell’s voltage difference In LiXX and NiZn packages  
-,- Ah = limiter capacity settings 
! = the exclamation  mark informs of the altered parameter value as compared to the default settings (e.g.  an 
altered final charging voltage value) 
Ah/c = equalized capacity per cell (in the balancer window) 
Auto  =  automatic  discharge  current  reduction;  the  current,  after  reaching  a  discharge  voltage  of  the 
package/cells, will be greatly reduced in order to reach a deeper discharge without exceeding the set voltage limit 
B: = current balancer power 
B  ("B"  („B”  is  displayed  alternately  with  „V”)  =  additional  balancing  (in  case  the  battery  is  still  not  correctly 
balanced after end of charging process)  
Beep = acoustic signal 
BT = optional wireless communication 
C = {Capacity} charged or discharged capacity 
c = {Charging rate} charging or discharging current according to the battery capacity in Ah: Is displayed by current 
justage when limiter is active  
Config_(0-9) = Config_(0-9) = Writing (and reading) of the current configuration on SD card (incl. memory) 
Contr. =display’s contrast settings 
Cs = {Capacity supply} displays the amount of energy drawn from the power supply from the moment the charger 
was plugged in 
E = {End} displayed alternately with „V” when at the end of the process the current has been reduced
