Advanced Settings – Cycle Settings
Cycles – sets the number of charge and discharge cycles.
Cool Down – sets the amount of time for the pack to cool down between charges and
discharges.
End Cycle – end cycling with a charge or discharge.
Advanced Settings – Charge Termination
Mode – sets what method is used to terminate a charge. Current C/? is a standard Lithium type
termination that stops the charge when current is below a ratio set by the charge current.
Typically, termination should be C/10.
C/? Termination – sets what current to terminate at. Typically, Lithium type packs terminate at
C/10. However, C/20 will put slightly more capacity into a pack, while C/5 will make the pack
finish charge faster (with slightly less capacity).
Man A Setting – allows a precise termination current to be set. When the current drops to the
set value, the charge will stop.
CV Timeout – sets the maximum time for the Constant Voltage portion of the charge. A typical
timeout value is 30 minutes. Lithium packs that take longer than 30 minutes usually have enough
damage that they will never balance out correctly. Once the timeout is reached, the charge ends.
Req Balance Done – keeps the pack charging until all the cells are equal. This makes the pack
balance more accurately.
Fallback Volts – sets the amount of voltage (per cell) that voltage fallback termination uses to
stop the charge. NiMH batteries need to be set lower than NiCd’s.
Advanced Settings – Discharge Termination
Mode – sets what method is used to terminate a discharge.
C/? Termination – sets what current to terminate at.
Man A Setting – allows a precise termination current to be set. When the current drops to the
set value, the discharge will stop.
CV Timeout – sets the maximum time for the Constant Voltage portion of the discharge. Once
the timeout is reached, the discharge ends.
Advanced Settings – Discharge Profile
Profile – sets how to discharge the pack. Constant Current maintains the set current for the
entire discharge. Constant Power maintains constant power for the entire discharge based on
the set current and the starting pack voltage.
CC/CV Disch – allows a precise cutoff voltage at the end of the discharge. The discharge set
current is maintained until a cell reaches the discharge cutoff voltage. Then the current is
reduced until the termination current is reached. This feature is useful for storage mode.
Advanced Settings – Charge Balance
Bal Charge – allows the balancers to balance the cells as they charge.
Balance Start V – sets when to start balancing the cells. Packs that are discharged very low
will be very out of balance, but don’t really need balancing because of cell capacity variations.
A typical value is around 3.7V (10% capacity).
Advanced Settings – Discharge Balance
Bal Discharge – allows the balancers to balance the cells as they discharge. This is useful
when packs have damaged cells. It allows all the cells to fully discharge.
