Enter “10” for the Sample Time.
The battery voltage and charge
current will be saved every 10
seconds to the results file.
Enter “1” for the Charge Current
which gives a current of 1C.
This will charge the battery in
approximately one hour.
Enter “1.3” for the Maximum
Charge Capacity. Thus quick
charging will end when the battery
has been charged 1.3 times its
rated capacity. This is a fail safe
feature to limit over charging.
Click on the Peak Charge
checkbox. This adds a Peak
Charge page.
