Cautions to observe prior to charging LiFePO4-batteries
• LiFePO4 chargers are designed for charging LiFePO4 (LFP) batteries only. Make sure you have
the correct battery charger for the chemistry
and number of cells in series.
If the number of cells in series in the battery
pack is not known you can calculate it by
dividing the voltage indicated by 3.2VDC for
LiFePO4 (e.g. a 12.8VDC LFP battery contains
4 LiFePO4 cells).
Make sure the charge voltage indicated on the
charger corresponds to the number of battery
cells in series multiplied by 3.65VDC (e.g. a
4 cell LFP battery is typically charged using
14.6VDC).
NOTE: The voltages indicated above are typical
and may vary between battery types and battery makes. If in doubt; consult the specifications
for your battery.
• Make sure the specifications for your battery
allows for the maximum charge current indicated on the charger.
• Make sure the specifications for your battery
allows for the environmental conditions present
during charging.
• Never attempt to charge batteries that are not
rechargeable.
• We recommend that you connect the charger
to the mains before connection is made to the
battery. This will reduce the sparks that may
occur due to difference in potential between
charger terminals and battery terminals.
5
Note! Make sure the charger terminals are not
short-circuited and ensure that the polarity is
correct.
• Please ensure correct polarity when connecting
to the battery terminals. Reverse polarity
connection may, in some chargers (see the
chargers specifications), result in a fuse
blowing, requiring replacement or leaving the
charger useless.
• The charge cycle starts when the charger is
connected to the mains.
• If the charger is disconnected from the mains
voltage during a charge cycle the charger will
start a new charge cycle when it is reconnected
to the mains.
• The recommended minimum and maximum
battery capacity for which the specific charger
can be used vary from battery to battery. Please follow the datasheet and recommendations
from the battery manufacturer. In our tables we
use typical 2C as a maximum current for LiFePO4 cells. 2C means that charge current for a
1Ah battery should be max 2A. Thus the typical
minimum capacity recommendation is 1Ah
for a 2A charger. For max battery capacity we
have used C/40 for chargers with timer (and/or
uC) and 100 times current detection levels for
chargers using only this termination method.
For a 2A charger with 0.2A current detection
level the max capacity recommended will be
100 x 0.2A = 20Ah. Again this is just typical
recommendations. Please read recommendations and datasheets from battery manufacturer.

Charging method A
STEP 1 – BOOST CHARGE
To start a charge cycle; connect the charger to the mains.
The charger is in constant current mode, charging with the maximum current indicated on
the charger, the LED-indication on the charger is ORANGE. This step allows rapid charging
of your battery until the battery reaches typically 80 - 95% of its capacity.
STEP 2 – TOP-UP CHARGE
The charger is in constant voltage mode, charging with a decreasing current until the
current is below the chargers charge termination level (indicated on the charger). The
LED-indication on the charger is ORANGE. The battery is charged to its full capacity at the
end of this step
STEP 3 –FLOAT CHARGE
The LED-indication on the charger is GREEN and the battery is fully charged.
The charge voltage is at float level and the charger may remain connected to the battery.
The charger will return to Step 1 if the battery is used. A load larger than the cut-off
current will initiate a new charge cycle.

STEP 1 – BOOST CHARGE
To start a charge cycle; connect the charger to the mains.
The charger is in constant current mode, charging with the maximum current indicated
on the charger, the LED-indication on the charger is ORANGE. This step allows rapid
charging of your battery until the battery voltage has increased to a certain set level
STEP 2 – TOP-UP CHARGE
When the battery voltage has increased to a certain set level the charger enters constant
voltage mode, charging with a decreasing current until the current is below the chargers
charge termination level (indicated on the charger). The LED-indication on the charger is
ORANGE.
When the battery has reached typically 90 - 95% of its full capacity the charge current
has dropped below a set level and the LED-indication on the charger changes to YELLOW
to indicate that the battery is almost fully charged and may be ready for use. The constant
voltage charge continues and the battery reaches its full capacity at the end of this step
STEP 3 - FLOAT CHARGE
The LED-indication on the charger is GREEN and the battery is fully charged.
The charge voltage is at float level and the charger may remain connected to the battery.
The charger will return to Step 1 if the battery is used. A load larger than the cut-off
current will initiate a new charge cycle.

To start a charge cycle; connect the charger to the mains.
The charger is in constant current mode, charging with the maximum current indicated on
the charger, the LED-indication on the charger is ORANGE (or RED 9640). This step allows
rapid charging of your battery until the battery reaches typically 80 - 95% of its capacity.
STEP 2 –TIMER CHARGE
The charger is in constant voltage mode, charging with a decreasing current. The
LED-indication on the charger is YELLOW. The charger is now in timer mode indicated by
the YELLOW LED and will remain in this mode until time interval is completed. The battery
is charged to its full capacity at the end of this step.
STEP 3 - FLOAT CHARGE
The LED-indication on the charger is GREEN and the battery is fully charged.
For Li-Ion batteries the charge current is zero and the battery has been charged it its full
capacity.
The charge voltage is at float level and the charger may remain connected to the battery.
The charger will return to Step 1 if the battery is used. A load larger than the constant
current level in Step 1 will initiate a new charge cycle.
