battery, a battery with a nominal voltage of 3.70V and
4.20V when fully charged.
2, LiHV: Often referred to as a high-voltage lithium
battery, a battery with a nominal voltage of 3.85V and
4.35V when fully charged.
3, LiFe: Often referred to as an iron-lithium battery, a
battery with a nominal voltage of 3.30V and 3.60V when
fully charged.
4, Lion: Often called a lithium-ion battery, a battery with
a nominal voltage of 3.60V and 4.10V when fully

Tips:
When selecting the current, it is
Short press [Voltage/Current] key to select the
charging current, the current can be selected from 4
values, 1.0A, 2.0A, 3.0A, 5.0A. The display is as follows.
===================================
recommended to use a charging rate of 1C-2C. For
example: 1000mAh battery, use 1.0A-2.0A for charging;
This effectively improves the cycle life of the battery.
Always check the battery manufacturers guidelines and
charging instructions before charging.

Terminal voltage setting and
manual calibration
Before connecting to the power supply, press and
hold [Voltage/Current] key to enter the calibration mode,
as shown below:
Terminal volte: The terminal voltage after the battery is
fully charged. Accurate to +/- 10mV.
Calibration voltage: Battery calibration voltage, if the cell
voltage readings appear to be incorrect, use a
high-quality voltage meter to measure the actual
voltage, then set this value to be the same as the meter.
DEFAULT: Restore to factory default.
