12
Memory Profiles
You can set a total of 12 memory profiles per port (24 total). This is a convenient feature as it allows
you to set the typical charge, discharge, cycle and storage mode profiles for specific batteries to save
you time versus having to always change the settings when charging/discharging different
configurations and chemistries of batteries.
To scroll through the available memory profiles, while on the Charge Mode screen simply press the
ENTER button once. The memory profile number will begin to flash and you can use the +/– buttons
to scroll through the profiles accordingly. And again, you can set up to 12 profiles per port (24 profiles
in total), however, we do recommend setting the same profiles, in the same order, for both ports if you
have no more than 12 different configurations/chemistries of batteries as it will allow you to select the
profile for your batteries on either or both ports simultaneously with ease.
Battery Chemistry Type
The TP820CD is capable of charging/discharging LiPo, LiIon, LiFe (A123), NiCd, NiMH and Pb (lead-
acid) batteries. Each of these chemistries/types of batteries is charged in a different way and
you MUST select the correct chemistry/type in order for the charger to charge/discharge
safely. Failure to select the correct chemistry/type and settings per the battery being
charged/discharged can result in damage to the battery or fire causing damage and/or
personal injury. If you are unsure of the battery chemistry/type, and the correct settings that
must be used for safe and correct charging/discharging, DO NOT attempt to charge/discharge
the battery. Instead, please contact the manufacturer of the battery for more information first.
To select the correct battery chemistry/type, while on the Charge Mode screen simply press the
ENTER button twice. The battery chemistry/type will begin to flash and you can use the +/– buttons to
scroll through them accordingly. After selecting the correct chemistry/type you can press the ENTER
button to select the other adjustable values, or wait approximately 5 seconds until the chemistry/type
stops flashing to begin the charge process or to scroll through the other modes (discharge, cycle and
storage).
Battery Cell Count
The TP820CD is capable of charging/discharging 1S (3.7V) to 8S (29.6V) LiPo, LiIon and LiFe (A123)
batteries, as well as 1-24 cell NiCd and NiMH along with 1S (2V) to 15S (30V) Pb (lead-acid)
batteries. After selecting the correct battery chemistry/type you MUST select the correct cell
count for the battery you will be charging/discharging. Failure to select the correct cell count
per the battery being charged/discharged can result in damage to the battery or fire causing
damage and/or personal injury. If you are unsure of the battery cell count DO NOT attempt to
charge/discharge the battery. Instead, please contact the manufacturer of the battery for more
information first.
To select the correct battery cell count, while on the Charge Mode screen simply press the ENTER
button three times. The battery cell count will begin to flash and you can use the +/– buttons to
increase/decrease the cell count accordingly. After selecting the correct cell count you can press the
ENTER button to select the other adjustable values, or wait approximately 5 seconds until the cell
count stops flashing to begin the charge process or to scroll through the other modes.
