Battery recovery mode for Lipo and A123
When a battery pack is extremely over discharged, the charger will refuse to initiate. At this time, you can increase the voltage to normal
by using recovery mode. We strongly recommend this mode for experienced users onl y. When the LCD screen displays as below and the
charge begins, press the [INC] key to activate a recovery charge mode. It is timed for 1 minute.
Press [INC] key to recover low pack voltage. (Timed 1minute)
Note 1: Carefully investigate the battery pack for physical damage and individual ce ll voltages before using this
function. Note 2: Double check that the cell count is correct.
How to check the balancer data while in idle mode
Press the [SEL] key until the LCD screen displays as shown below. If a balancer is connected, the screen will display the battery cell and
imbalance voltages.
Connect your battery’ balance connector to the charger’ balancer connector
or use the included BL-2 PCB (see page 9).
ENT
Press the [ENT] key to retrieve the input and output voltages.
Other important safety functions activated during charge for Lipo and A123 battery with balancer
1.
Over charge protect: If any cell reaches 4.28V, the charging process will be interrupted with an error message.
Imbalance over 0.2V charge interruption: If any imbalance i n the pack reaches greater than 0.2 v olt, an error
message will be displayed along with an interruption of the charging process.
Incorrect cell count setting: If the cell count setting does not match the voltage of the connected battery, an error
message occurs. The charge will be interrupted.

How to know the balancer is linked with charger
If the balancer successfully links to the charger , the “ ^ “ symbol will appear
on the LCD screen as shown to the right. This will flash every second to update
the pack voltage. This symbol will not display during “INITIAL CHARGING”
mode.

Nicd/NiMH Charge
Press the [Sel] key for 2 seconds, then select the battery type, either Nicd or NiMH. (see OPTION settings)
Memory or previously used charge mode:
Press [INC] or [DEC] to select memory number while [Sel] flashes.
NiCd Battery
NiMH Battery
Quickly press the [ ENT] key, then the value will flash. Select a desired charge current by p ressing [INC] or [DEC] from 0.25 to 10A (We
recommend setting to a 1C charge current for best results).Then press the [ENT] key for 2 seconds to begin charging. To check the option
settings and input voltage while charging, quickly press the [Sel] key.
**Delta peak voltage setting:
NiCd: 5-25mV adjustable (Default value 15mV).
NiMH 3-15mV adjustable (Default value 5mV).
If you have experienced an unexpected undercharge or overcharge, simply increase or decrease the -delta peak voltage. (the default
settings are widely used for most of batteries)
**For NiMH Battery:
Do not charge higher than 1C for best results.
