WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
o To avoid short circuit between the charge lead always connect the charge cable to the
charger first, then connect the battery. Reverse the sequence when disconnecting.
o o
Do not connect more than one battery pack to this charger at anyone time. 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 discharged.
Non-rechargeable batteries (Explosion hazard).
I
Batteries that require a different charge technique from NiCd, NiMh, LiPo
or Gel cell (Pb, Lead acid). 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.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
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 setup adequate currentfor charging or discharging?
Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in series, i.e. a 2cell pack canbe 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.
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 quick-charge 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 gold-plated should be fitted to both ends
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
Always refer to the manual by the battery manufacturer pertaining to charging methods, recommended charging current and charging time. Especially, the lithium battery should be charged according the charging instruction provided by the manufacturer strictly.
I
Attention should be paid to the connection of Lithium battery especially. Do not attemptto disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily
Please get highlighted that lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in series. In the parallel connection, the battery's capacity is calculated by multiplying single battery's capacity by the number of cells with total voltage stay the same. The voltage's imbalance may cause fire orexplosion .Lithium battery is recommended to charge in series.
----------------------
•• Discharging 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- discharging. lithium battery can not bedischarged to lowerthan the minimum voltage, or itwill 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 the
battery. Some rechargeable batteries have a memory effect. If they are partly used and recharged
before the whole charge is accomplished, they remember this and will only use that part of their capacity next time. This is a 'memory effect'
It
is said that NiCd and NiMH batteries are
suffering from memory effect. NiCd has more memory effect than NiMH.
Lithium batteries are recommended to be discharged partially rather than fully discharged. Frequent full discharging should be avoided if possible. Instead, Charge the battery more often or use abattery of larger capacity. Full capacity cannot be used until it has been subjected to 10 or more charge cycles. The cyclic process of charge and discharge will optimize the capacity of
battery pack.

INITIAL PARAMETER SETUP lOSERS SET UPI
The screen shows the nominal voltage of Lithium battery. There are three kinds of Lithium battery: LiFe(3.3V), Lilo(3.6V) or LiPo(3. 7V). This
information is of critical importance that you have to check the battery carefully to make sure it is set up correctly. If it is different from correct value, explosion can occur during charge process.
To avoid from erroneous setting by users,B6+ detects the cell count of
Lithium battery automatically at the beginning of charge or discharge
process. But battery that is deep-discharged can't be detected correctly. Toavoid this error, the time term can beset to verifythe cell countby the processor. Normally, 15 seconds are enough to detect the cell count correctly. You need to extend the time term limit for the battery of large capacity. But the charge or discharge process may come to an end within the time term because ofthe time limit decided by the wrong count if you set too long time limit for the battery of small capacity. This may cause fatal error. You have to extend the time term if the processor detect the cell count incorrectly at the beginning of charge or discharge process. Otherwise, default value is recommended to use.
I
This shows the trigger voltage for automatical charge termination of NiMH and NiCd battery. The valid value ranges from 5 to 20 mV per cell. Setting the trigger voltage higher brings a danger of overcharging; whereas setting it lower brings a possibility of premature termination. Please refer to the technical specification of the battery.(NiCd default: 12mV, NiMH default:7mV)
INITIAl PARAMETER SETUP lOSERS SET UP)
There is a 3-pin port on the left of the charger used as USB interface or temperature sensor port.
If the screen displays temperature, you can use the optional temperature probe to connect tothe surface of the battery, Ifit is set as the USB port, you can connect the chargerto your PC through the optional USB cable to monitor the charging process through optional software.
The maximum temperature of the battery can be setduring the charge process. The process will be terminated automatically to protect battery once the temperature of battery reaches this value. T",hisfeature is accomplished through temperature probe (optional).
~DEG.I;lNC~
The battery becomes warm after cycles of Charge/discharge process. The
program will insert a time delay after each charge/discharge process to allow the battery enough time to cool down before beginning next cycle of charge/discharge process. Thevalid value ranges from 1 t060 minutes.
I
When the charge process starts, the integrated safety timer starts to run simultaneously. If error detected or the termination circuit can not detect whether the battery is fully charged or not, this unit is programmed to prevent overcharging. Please refer to the below statement to calculate the timer you
set.
The program provides maximum capacity protection function. If the Oelta- peak voltage can not be detected or the safety timer times out, the charge process will stop automatically, when the battery reaches the user-set maximum charge capacity,
The beep to confirm users' operation sounds every time a button is pressed. The beep or melody sounds at various times during operation to confirm different mode change. These functions can be switched on or off.
This function monitors the voltage of the input battery used to power this charger. If the voltage is lower than user-set value, the program will end forcibly to protectthe input battery.
INITIAL PARAMETER SOUP [USERS SETUP]
Safe timer calculation
When charging NiC,d or NiMH batteries, divide the capacity by current, then divide the result by
11.9, setthis number of minutes as the value for safety timer setting. Ifthe charger stopped at
this time threshold, about 140% ofthe capacity will have been fed into the battery. For example: Capacity Current Safety Time 2000mAh 2.0A (2000/2.0=1000)/11.9=84 minutes 3300mAh 3.0A· (3300/3.0=11 00)/11.9=92 minutes
1000mAh 1.2A (1000/1.2=833)/11.9=70 minutes
Lithium (LiloILiPoILiFe) program
The program is only suitable for charging/discharging Lithium-polymer batteries with a nominal voltage of 3.3/3.6/3.7V/cell. Different batteries have different charge technique. There are two methods termed as constant voltage and constant current. The charge current varies according
to battery capacity and specification. The final voltage is very important; it should precisely
match the voltage of the battery: LiPo is 3.6V, LiLo is 4.1V and liFe is 3.6V. The current and
voltage of the battery should be correctly set. When you wantto change the values of parameters, please press START/ENTER key tomake it
blink and then use DES or INC to change the value. Then press START/ENTER key again to
store the value.
