VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 50 - b) Charging Rechargeable Batteries without Balancer Connection (CHARGE)

b) Charging Rechargeable Batteries without Balancer Connection ("CHARGE")
Of course, you can also charge multiple-cell lithium rechargeable batteries with a balancer connection
with the rechargeable battery programme "CHARGE".
However, the individual cell voltages are not reconciled here, so that one or several cells may be over-
charged. There is a risk of re and explosion!
Therefore, always charge multiple-cell lithium rechargeable batteries with balancer connection with
the rechargeable battery programme "BALANCE", but never with the rechargeable battery programme
"CHARGE"!
• First, choose the rechargeable battery type with the button "INC" or "DEC" as described in chapter 11. a) (LiPo,
LiIon or LiFe) and push the button "START/ENTER".
• Select the rechargeable battery programme "CHARGE" with the button
"INC" or "DEC".
The previously selected rechargeable battery type is written in the upper
left.
The value at the lower left indicates the currently set charging current ("2.0A"), the lower right shows the recharge-
able battery nominal voltage ("11.1V") and the associated cell number ("3S" = 3cell rechargeable battery).
Use the button "INC" or "DEC" to select a different rechargeable battery programme; use the button
"BATT. TYPE/STOP" to return to the main menu.
• If the values need to be changed, push the "START/ENTER" button.
The charging current at the lower left of the display ashes. Change the charging current using the button "INC" or
"DEC". Keep the respective button pressed for quick adjustment.
The maximum possible charging current depends on the battery type and number of cells. The max. charge
output is 50 W, which may reduce the actual charge current later.
• Conrm the charging current with the "START/ENTER" button.
The number of cells at the lower right of the display is ashing. Set the number of the cells with the buttons "INC"
and "DEC". Keep the respective button pressed for quick adjustment. The associated rechargeable battery nomi-
nal voltage is automatically calculated and displayed to the left of the cell number.
Conrm the number of the cells by pressing the "START/ENTER" button.
• When no display is ashing anymore, start charging by keeping the "START/ENTER" button pushed (approx.
3 seconds).
• The charger now examines the connected rechargeable battery. In case
of an error, a warning signal is output and the corresponding information is
displayed. You can stop the warning signal by pressing the "BATT. TYPE/
STOP" button. You then return to the previous conguration menu.
If no error is found, e.g. the display shown on the right will appear.
The "R:" value indicates the cell number that the charger has recognised
(in the example a 3-cell rechargeable battery).
The "S:" value indicates the cell number that you have set in the menu (in
the example also a 3-cell rechargeable battery).
