MAIN FEATURES
04
Touch System
With the graphic touch controlled interface, the resistive touch LCD screen intuitively displays every charging status & information, which makes the operating procedures very easy. Users can enjoy a more convenient and comfortable “touch” experience.
Optimized Operating Software
R1 simplifies and optimizes the operating procedures for users, it can maximumly protect your battery safety, and prolong the lifetime of the battery effectively; what's more, the charger allows users to self-define the charging parameters, so that you can configure other charging parameters according to your own requirements.
Charging Status Monitor
When the charger is working, you can check the charging capacity, battery voltage, charging time and internal resistance on the screen. More important, the voltage curve can be displayed on the screen, so you can monitor the charging status.
Internal Independent Lithium Battery Balancer
R1 Changer employs an individual-cell-voltage balancer. It isn’t neces. sary to connect an external balancer for balance charging.
Balancing Individual Cells Battery Discharging
During the process of discharging, R1 can monitor and balance each cell of the battery individually. Error message will be indicated and process will be ended automatically if the voltage of any single one cell is abnormal.
Fast and Storage Mode of Lithium battery
Purposes to charge lithium battery varies, “fast ” charge reduce the duration of charging, whereas “store” state can control the final voltage of your battery, so as to store for a long time and protect useful time of thebattery
Lndependent Balance function
When the battery performance declines and vlitage difference increas-es, the balance function of charger will to work. The equalizer circuit will work independently and reduce the voltage difference to below
0.01V, which can prolong the lifetime of battery and reduce risks due to over discharge.
MAIN FEATURES
05
Memory Preset
The charger can store up to 0 different charge/discharge profiles for your convenience. You can keep the data pertaining to program setting of the battery of continuous charging or discharging. Users can call out these data at any time without any special program setting.
Terminal Voltage Control (TVC)
The charger allows user to set the charge/dischareg and voltage.
Capacity Limit
The charging capacity is always calculated as the charging current multiplied ba time. if the charging capacity exceeds the limit, the process will be terminated automatically when you set the maximumvalue.
Processing Time Limit
You can also limit the maximum process time to avoid any possible defect.
PC Control Software ”Charge Master ”
Please download the ''PC Monitor” software on our website: www.ev-peak.com. There is mini USB port in the charge which can be used to connect it to the PC. You need optional USB cable (USB A Male to Mini B Male) which is not included in the package. The free “Charge Master” software gives you unparalleled ability to operate the charger through your computer. You can update firmware from “Charge Master”.
Inner Resistance of Battery Pack
Measure Inner resistance of battery pack inclusively all connections and leads.
Regenerative Discharging
The user can transfer the battery energy to the car battery or other energy storage equipment.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
06
These warnings and safety notes are particularly important. Please follow the instructions for maximum safety; otherwise the charger and the battery can be damaged or at worst it can cause a fire.
Never leave the charger unattended when it is connected to its power supply. If any malfunction is found, TERMINATE THE PROCESS AT ONCE and refer to the operation manual. If any malfunction is found, TERMINATE THE PROCESS AT ONCE and refer to the operation manual.
Keep the charger well away from dust, damp, rain, heat, direct sunshine and vibration. Never drop it.
The allowable DC input voltage is 11~24V DC.
This charger and the battery should be put on a heat-resistant, noninflammable and nonconductive surface. Never place them on a car seat, carpet or similar. Keep all the inflammable volatile materials away from operating area.
Make sure you know the specifications of the battery to be charged or discharged to ensure it meets the requirements of this charger. If the program is set up incorrectly, the battery and charger may be damaged. It can cause fire or explosion due to overcharging.
To avoid short-circuiting between the charge lead, always connect the charge cable to the charger first, then connect the battery. Reverse the sequence when disconnecting.

Be very careful to choose the correct voltage for different types of battery otherwise you may cause damage to the batteries. Incorrect settings could cause the cells to fire or Explode.
Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries
A battery pack, which consists of different types of cells (including
different manufacturers)
A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly dis charged.
Non-rechargeable batteries (Explosion hazard).
A faulty or damaged battery.
A battery fitted with an integral charge circuit or a protection circuit.
Batteries installed in a device or which are electrically linked to other
components.
Batteries that are not expressly stated by the manufacturer to be
suitable for the currents the charger delivers during the charge process.
Please bear in mind the following points before commencing charging
Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of
battery you are charging?
Did you set up adequate current for charging or discharging?
Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be
wired in parallel and in series, i.e. a 2 cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in series).
Have you checked that all connections are firm and secure? Make
sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
08
Charging
During charge process, a specific quantity of electrical energy is fed into the battery. The charge quantity is calculated by multiplying charge current by charge time. The maximum permissible charge current varies depending on the battery type or its performance, and can be found in the information
by the battery manufacturer. Only batteries that are expressly stated to be capable of quickcharge are allowed to be charged at rates higher than the standard charge current.
Connect the battery to the terminal of the charger: red is positive and black is negative. Due to the difference between resistance of cable and connector, the charger can not detect resistance of the battery pack, the essential requirement for the charger to work properly is that the charge lead should be of adequate conductor cross-section, and high quality connectors which are normally goldplated should be fitted to both ends.
Always refer to the manual by battery manufacturer about charging methods, recommended charging current and charging time. Especially, the lithium battery should be charged according the charging instruction provided by the manufacturer Strictly.
Attention should be paid to the connection of lithium battery espe cially. Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily. Please get highlighted that lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in series.
The main purpose of discharging is to clean residual capacity of the battery, or to reduce the battery voltage to a defined level. The same attention should be paid to the discharging process as charging. The final discharge voltage should be set up correctly to avoid deep-dis-charging. Lithium battery can not be discharged to lower than the minimum voltage, or it will cause a rapid loss of capacity or a total failure.
Generally, lithium battery doesn't need to be discharged. Please pay attention to the minimum voltage of lithium battery to protect them. Lithium batteries are recommended to be discharged partially rather than fully. Frequent full discharging should be avoided if possible.
