of C/20 and max of 15 min timeout for C.V. mode. This preset does not require that
every cell in the battery is charged to exactly 100%. If using A123 1100 mAh or LiFePO4
batteries, Fuel Gauge readout may not be accurate. Default charge rate setting is 2.2A.
Other defaults: discharge rate setting is10A, charge voltage 3.335V/cell, discharge
voltage 3.32V/cell.
A123 Store Non Bal. 1-5s
Special A123 preset (any capacity) designed to storage charge or discharge a non-
balanced battery up or down to 3.335V per cell. Dual PowerLab 8x2 will automatically
determine whether a charge or discharge process is required. This preset will charge to
storage level and terminates discharge on the lowest cell in the pack. Upon discharge
termination, Dual PowerLab 8x2 does incorporate CC/CV discharge algorithms for
precise terminating voltage. Manual charge rate setting is required when using this
preset and ranges from 10 mA to 10A. Charge and discharge termination voltage can be
independently adjusted to further assure termination accuracy. Fuel Table is optimized
for A123 2300 mAh batteries. Optimization is for faster charging with termination settings
of C/10 and max of 15 min timeout for C.V. mode. This preset is not capable of charging
every cell in the battery to exactly 100% because it does not have access to individual
cell voltages. Imbalance will be present at the end of charge; however, A123 cells are
not as sensitive to this problem. Nevertheless, charging A123s using the balanced
charge preset(s) is recommended whenever possible. If using A123 1100 mAh or
LiFePO4 batteries, Fuel Gauge readout may not be accurate. Default charge rate setting
is 2.2A. Other defaults: discharge rate setting is 10A, charge voltage 3.335V/cell,
discharge volt-age 3.32V/cell.

charge rate setting is 2.2A. This is an example of a fixed-count preset. It will not
auto-detect the cell count of a battery pack. It is designed specifically for an 8 cell
A123 pack. If your A123 pack has a different number of cells, copy this preset to an
EMPTY preset slot, rename it, and alter the “Cells” parameter found in the
“Detection” tab of the CCS. Otherwise, you may find an A123, fixed cell preset
already designed for your battery in the Preset Library of the Dual PowerLab 8x2 or
within the CCS. Other defaults: discharge rate setting is 10A, charge voltage
3.335V/cell, discharge voltage 3.32V/cell.
