WARRANTY AND SERVICE

Warranty and Service

We guarantee this product for one year warranty from the time of purchase if defects
are caused by our manufacturing or assembly. During the period, we will repair it or
replace one without charge for the one deemed defective due to above causes.

You will be required to provide a proof of purchase (invoice or receipt). This warranty
is not valid for any damage or subsequent damage arising from misuse, modification
or failure to follow the procedures outlined in this manual.

WARNING AND ERROR INFORMATION

The voltage is higher than which is set. Please check the number of
cells in the battery pack.

Voltage of one cell in the battery pack is too low, please check the
voltage of each cell.

Voltage of one cell in the battery pack is too low, please check the
voltage of each cell.

Wrong connection of the connector detected; please check the
connector and cable.

The internal temperature is too high, please cool down.

The processor cannot control the feeding current, please repair it.

SPECIAL FEATURES

SPECIAL FEATURES

Optimized Operating software

B6 Twins features the so-called AUTO function that set the feeding current during the process of
charging or discharging. Especially for Lithium atteries, it can prevent the overcharging which
may lead to an explosion due to the user's fault. It can disconnect the circuit automatically and
alarm once detecting any malfunction. All the programs of this product were controlled through
two way linkage and communication, to achieve the maximum safety and minimize the trouble.
All the settings can be configured by users!

Internal independent lithium battery balancer

B6 Twins employs an individual-cell-voltage balancer. It isn't necessary to connect an external
balancer for balance charging.

Balancing individual cells battery discharging

During the process of discharging, B6 Twins can monitor and balance each cell of the battery
individually. Error message will be indicated and the process will be ended automatically if
the voltage of any single one cell is abnormal.

Adaptable to various types of lithium batteries.

B6 Twins is adaptable to various types of Lithium batteries, such as LiIon, LiPo and the new
LiFe series of batteries.

Fast and storage mode of lithium batteries.

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 the battery.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Maximum safety

Delta-peak sensitivity: The automatic charge termination program based on the principle of the
Delta-peak voltage detection. When the battery's voltage exceeds the threshold, the process
will be terminated automatically.

Automatic charging current limit

You can set up the upper limit of the charging current when charging your NiCd or NiMH battery;
it is useful for the NiMH battery of low impedance and capacity in the 'AUTO' charging mode.

Capacity limit

The charging capacity is always calculated as the charging current multiplied by time. If the
charging capacity exceeds the limit, the process will be terminated automatically when you set
the maximum value.

Temperature threshold*

The battery's internal chemical reaction will cause the temperature of the battery to rise. If the
temperature limit is reached, the process will be terminated.

*This function is available by connecting optional temperature probe, which is not included in our package.

Processing time limit

You can also limit the maximum process time to avoid any possible defect.

Input power monitoring

To protect the car battery used as DC input power from being damaged, its voltage keeps being
Monitored. If it drops below the lower limit, the process will be ended automatically.

Date store/load

The maximum five batteries' date can be stored for user's convenience. You can keep the date
pertaining to program setting of the battery of continuous charging or discharging. Users can
call out these date at anytime without any special program setting.

WARNING AND ERROR INFORMATION

WARNING AND ERROR INFORMATION

B6 Twins incorporates a variety of functions for the systems to varify processes and the state of
the electronics. In case of an error the screen will display the cause of error and emit an audible
sound.

Incorrect polarity connected.

Battery connection is interrupted.

Short-circuit of the output termination.

Erroneous selection of voltage of Lithium pack, please check the voltage
of the battery pack.

The voltage of the battery pack has been selected incorrectly!

The charger has malfunctioned for some reason. Seek professional
advice.

The voltage is lower than which is set. Please check the number of cells
in the batter pack.

It comes to the final voltage when the program ended.

3-pin connector is selected to be the USB port.

The external temperature is displayed when the temperature probe is
used.

Present input voltage.

The battery is connected with each port through cable; you can check
voltage of each cell in the battery pack. When the cable is connected
with the ports on the right of the charger, the program will display voltage
of up to 6 batteries. The battery pack needs an output connector
connected with each cell.

SPECIAL FEATURESVARIOUS INFORMATION IN THE PROGRAM

Cyclic charging/discharging

1 to 5 cyclic and continuous process of charge＞discharge or discharge＞charge is operable for
battery refreshing and Balancing to stimulate the battery's activitly.
