Special Features
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 the battery.
Re-Peak Mode of NiMH/NiCd Battery
In re-peak charge mode, the charger can peak charge the battery once, twice or
three times in a row automatically. This is good for making certain the battery is fully
charged.
Delta-peak Sensitivity for NiMH/NiCd
Delta-peak sensitivity for NiMH/NiCd battery: 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.
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 activity.
Automatic Charging Current Limit
You can set up the upper limit of the charging current when charging your NiMH or
NiCd battery, it is useful for the NiMH battery of low impedance and capacity in the
'AUTO' charging mode.
Battery Meter
The user can check battery voltage and battery internal resistance.
Battery Internal Resistance Meter
The user can check battery's total internal resistance and each cell's internal resistance.

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.
Keep the charger well away from dust, damp, rain, heat, direct sunshine and
vibration. Never drop it.
The allowable AC input voltage is 100~240V AC and DC 11-18V.
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.

Warning and Safety Notes
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).
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.
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.
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.

Warning and Safety Notes
Attention should be paid to the connection of lithium battery especially.
Do not attempt to 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 capacity by the number of cells with total voltage stay
the same. The voltages imbalance may cause fire or explosion .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 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 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.
