b) Charging Batteries without Balancer Connection ("CHARGE")
Of course, you can also charge multiple-cell lithium rechargeable batteries with a balancer connection with
the rechargeable battery programme "CHARGE".
However, the individual cell voltages are not reconciled here, so that one or several cells may be over-
charged. There is a risk of re and explosion!
Therefore, always charge multiple-cell lithium rechargeable batteries with balancer connection with
the rechargeable battery programme "BAL-CHG", but never with the rechargeable battery programme
"CHARGE"!
• First, choose the rechargeable battery type with the button "BATT TYPE./STOP" or "DEC" as described in chapter
11. a) (LiPo, LiIon, LiFe or LiHV) and push the button "START/ENTER".
• Select the rechargeable battery programme "CHARGE" with the button
"INC" or "DEC".
The previously selected rechargeable battery type is written in the upper
left. The upper right shows the cell number ("3S" = 3-cell rechargeable bat-
tery), the lower left the rechargeable battery capacity, and the lower right the
currently set charging current.
Use the button "INC" or "DEC" to select a different rechargeable battery programme; use the button "BATT
TYPE./STOP" to return to the main menu.
• If the values need to be changed, push the "START/ENTER" button. The number of cells in the upper right of
the display is ashing. Set the number of the cells with the buttons "INC" and "DEC". Keep the respective button
pressed for quick adjustment.
Conrm the number of the cells by pressing the "START/ENTER" button.
• The rechargeable battery's capacity ashes. Set the rechargeable battery's capacity with the buttons "INC" and
"DEC". Keep the respective button pressed for quick adjustment.
Conrm the rechargeable battery's capacity by pressing the "START/ENTER" button.
• The charging current ashes. Change the charging current using the button "INC" or "DEC". Keep the respective
button pressed for quick adjustment.
The maximum possible charging current depends on the battery type and number of cells. The maximum
charging power is 100 W per channel.
Conrm the charging current with the "START/ENTER" button.
• When no display is ashing anymore, start charging by keeping the "START/
ENTER" button pushed (approx. 3 seconds).
The charger now examines the connected rechargeable battery.
If the settings are wrong, or if the charger detects a problem, an audio signal is emitted and the appropriate
information is shown on the display. You can stop the warning signal by pressing the "BATT TYPE./STOP"
button. You then return to the previous conguration menu.
If no error was recognised, e.g. the display on the right will appear (alternat-
ing).
The "S:" value indicates the cell number that you have set in the menu (in
the example a 3-cell rechargeable battery).
The "R:" value indicates the cell number that the charger has recognised (in
the example also a 3-cell rechargeable battery).
