(Constant Voltage)

These batteries need to adopt different charge technique which is termed constant current(CC) and

constant voltage(CV) method. As the process starts, the CC phase will be committed first, in which the

charging current is maintained at a constant level until the battery reaches their final charge voltage. And

then, the CV phase will be initiated, in which the voltage is maintained at a constant level. At this point the

battery already has been charged about 80~90% full. The charging current will start to decrease until it

reached its 1/10 of starting amount. When the charging current reaches 1/10 of initial amount, the charger

will stop the charging process. The battery is virtually fully charged at this point.

Safety programs for all types of battery

- Max. capa. (Maximum capacity) : You can define the maximum capacity which can be charged or

discharged by the form of a percentage of battery capacity set in the top of display. If full-charge has not

been detected for any reason, the charger limits the quantity of feeding energy by the value and terminates

the process as on the value is reached. If the battery manufacturer recommends to apply a partial charge

to battery before long-term storage, you can use this function also. This is a safety feature programmed to

protect the battery from over-charging or deep-discharging condition. (50 ~ 120%)

- Safety timer : When you start a charge process, the integral safety timer automatically starts running.

This is programmed to prevent over-charging or deep-discharging the battery, if the charger or battery is

proved to be fault. Or, if the termination circuit cannot detect the full-charging. The value for the safety

timer should be generous enough to allow the full-charging. (10 ~ 1380 min.)

- Safety temp. (Safety temperature) : This is a feature using temperature probe contacting the surface of

battery. The charger can monitor the temperature of battery being charged or discharged. Monitoring the

battery temperature can result in the most accurate full charges in addition to its voltage. The

recommended maximum values are 45~55C(113~130F) for NiCd, 43~52C(110~125F) for NiMH and

32~35C(90~95F) for Lixx. Once the battery reaches this temperature during the process, the program will

be terminated to protect the battery. If the battery reaches the temperature during discharge, the discharge

process will temporarily pause to allow the battery to cool down to a safe temperature. The discharge

process will automatically resume when the battery’s temperature drops about 4°C below the maximum

temperature setting. Set the maximum temperature at which the charger should allow the battery to reach

during charge or discharge process. (20 ~ 80C)
