Advanced Operate software

The charger can set current automatically when charging/discharging. Especially for the
Li-xx battery, it can avoid the explosion due to the wrong operation by user. All of them can
set according to the user’s choice. The charger provide balance port for Li-xx battery,
including 2, 3 ,4,5,6-cell five balance port.

High power and high performance circuit

The charger maximum output power is 50W, max. charging current is 6A, max. discharging
current is 2A. The high power cooling system ensures the CPU and operating system
normal work under the high power condition.

Li-xx Battery pack Voltage Balance

It has the balance function for the Li-xx battery, so, it don’t need extra balancer to balance
the voltage when charge li-xx battery.

Monitor and Balance the Li-xx battery

It can monitor the single cell when discharge. The discharging will stop and show the error
message when the battery voltage is abnormal.

Suit for various batteries

It can compatible with various batteries: Lilo, Lipo, Life, LiHv, Nicd, Nimh and Pb. Users
can charge/discharge different batteries by selecting the corresponding programs .

Fast charging and storage mode

The charging time can be effectively reduced when charging by setting the fast charging
mode; Storage mode can keep the rated voltage of the battery for a long time

Delta-peak sensitivity

(NiCd/NiMH) Delta-peak Sensitivity: It is the the program to turn-off charge current
automatically. The principle of operation is that the charge current will turn off and finish
charge when the battery voltage increased to the highest point and start to decreasing.
Capacity Limit: Charge capacity calculated according to charge current multiply charge
time. You can set a highest charging capacity value ,when charging capacity over the set
value, the program will forced to stop charging with an alarm.
Temperature Limit: The temperature of battery will increase when charging, if users set
the temperature limit value, then the charger will forced to stop charging with an alarm
when the temperature of battery reached to the set value(This function need to connect

external temperature sensing line).

Charge time Limit: It can prevent over charge and discharge by setting a charge time.
Input current checking: In order to protect the battery it can check the voltage of the

battery during charging process. The charger will turn off charge current with an alarm
automatically when the voltage decreased to the lowest.
Cooling Automatically: The cooling system will work automatically when the internal
temperature is too high.

Cyclic charge/Discharge

The Nicd/NiMH battery continuously work 1-4 circle can make the battery updated and
balanced.

Never leave the charger unsupervised when charging, if any mal-function is observed
please terminate the process immediately and refer to the manual.

•Never put the charger into the place which dust/damp/vibrate.

•The input power is only for DC 10-18V.

•Please put it onto the surface which it is firm/Anti flammable. Never put it onto the carpet

or others similar objects. Make sure it is far away from the Anti flammable area.

•Never cover the fan, keep the cooling fan well ventilated .

•Make sure the correct setting data, if the program was setting wrong, it will damage the

battery. Especially for the Li-xx battery, it will explode due to the over charge/discharge.

•It should be connect the cable to the charger first then connect the battery. When

disconnecting, the opposite operation

•User must check the voltage and capacity of the Li-xx battery pack before using. The

battery can be Series connection or Parallel connection. When it is paralleled, the capacity
of the battery pack is the total capacity of each single battery and the voltage of battery
pack will not change. It is suggested to choose the Series connection for the li-xx battery
because it possible to lead the explosion if the voltage is un-balance when charging.
