Instructions for use
Use this setting to discharge a Lithium pack. The charge current and pack
voltage are adjustable using the methods shown previously in the charge
and balance instructions. Never exceed 1C for the discharge rate and
never use a final voltage lower than what is recommended by the battery
manufacturer. The balance plug of the battery must be plugged into the
charger for a proper discharge to take place. Press and hold the START/
ENTER button to confirm cell count, then press the button again a second
time to start the discharge process.
The processor monitors the voltage of individual cells during ‘storage-mode’ and ‘discharge’ of a Lithium
battery pack. It tries to regulate the voltages to be equal. For this feature, the balance plug of the battery
pack must be connected to the balance port of the charger. If the voltage of any one or more cells varies
abnormally during the procedure, it terminates the process with an error message. If this happens, the
battery pack contains a bad cell, or there is a bad connection at the balance plug. You can easily know
which one cell is bad by pressing the increase button with the error message on screen to show the
individual cell voltages. This method of viewing cell voltages can be used
during any lithium battery charge, or discharge process provided the
balance lead from the battery is plugged into the charger.
In this example, the charger found that the voltage of one of the cells in this
4S pack is too low.
By pressing the “increase” button when the error message is displayed,
we can see that cell #4 is reading 2.18, which is below the minimum
recommended 3.0 per cell. If all cells read 0.00, the balance lead from
the battery may have come disconnected. Also check your balance port
connection at the charger.
Select LiHV battery with standard Voltage 3.8V from setting program, double
confirm the battery type when charging. If it’s not LiHV battery, press Stop
button to exit; if it’s confirmed LiHV battery, then go to the program.
Warning: The LiHV mode only supports 4.35V LiHV batteries. Do not use
any other battery type in this mode. Never charge a 4.20V LiPo battery
under this mode as it may cause the battery to catch fire or explode.
When discharging, the screen provides useful information like the
discharge rate, number of cells being discharged, battery voltage and the
amount of mAh, or capacity that the charger has removed from the pack
being currently discharged. Press Batt type/Stop to stop the discharging
process at any time.
