This program is only suitable for charging a Pb (lead-acid) battery with
nominal voltage from 2 to 20V. A Pb (lead-acid) battery is completely
different from NiCd/NiMH batteries. These batteries can only deliver
current lower in comparison to their capacity. The same restriction
applies to the charging process. Consequently, the optimum charge
current can only be 1/10 of the capacity. A Pb battery cannot be used
for fast charging, so please follow the instructions provided by the
battery manufacturer.
Due to the chemistry characteristic of a Pb battery, the cut-off point
may be difficult to detect at times. We recommend you use the
CAPACITY CUT-OFF feature to protect the battery.
You can press the START/ENTER key to modify the main menu and
alter the parameter settings using the INC or DEC key, press the
START/ENTER key to store the setting.
CHARGING PB (LEAD-ACID) BATTERY IN THE CHARGE MODE
CHARGING PB (LEAD-ACID) BATTERY IN THE CHARGE MODE
Set up the charge current on the left and the
nominal voltage on the right. Range of
discharge current is 0.1-1.0A. The voltage
should match the battery being charged.
Press the START/ENTER key for more than
3 seconds to start charging.
DISCHARGING OF THE PB BATTERY
The screen displays the real-time
discharging status. Press the START/ENTER
key to alter the discharge current. Press the
START/ENTER key again to store the
parameter values you set. Press the BATT
TYPE/STOP key to end the program.
