Redox BETA – short user manual
Li-Po/Li-Ion charge/discharge modes
Use [Batt. Type/Stop] and [Dec] buttons to select “LiPo BATT” mode and press [Start]. Then
use arrows to choose between charging/discharging modes for Li-Po or Li-Ion batteries.
LiPo CHARGE
In this mode batteries are charged in optimal way. The battery is charged to the maximum
capacity. The voltage on each cell is monitored but they are not balanced – in case of
unbalanced battery, the “strongest” cells are rather charged slower than discharged.
LiPo BALANCE
Used for charging the batteries to maximum capacity, but with the priority to have the same
voltage in each cell. If the charger needs to discharge one cell a little to achieve exact voltages,
it will do that. Use this mode if you observe that the difference between cell voltages is greater
than 0,1V.
LiPo FAST CHG
Similar to CHARGE mode but doesn’t charge batteries to the maximum capacity. In this mode,
batteries are charged only in constant current stage, which provide the best charge/discharge
time ratio.
LiPo STORAGE
The Li-Ion batteries have a specific voltage level, which is optimum to reduce the battery aging
and self-discharging during the long-term storage. Use this mode if you are going to leave the
batteries unused for more than one month.
LiPo DISCHARGE
You can use this mode to measure the capacity of the batteries. Probably you will never use
this mode. It’s mostly used for testing.
General rules for all modes:
- The charger needs to be configured in 3S mode to work with ROSbot, because it has 3
cells connected in series.
- When the charging will be finished (after about 3 hours), the charger will generate a
loud “beep” sound and will finish charging at the same time.
- The recommended charging current for ROSbot is 1.5A. Current up to 3A can be used
if the fast charging is more important for you than the battery lifespan.
