3. Intended use
The processor-controlled charger is intended for charging and discharging NiCd/NiMH (1 – 16 cells), LiPo/Li-ion/LiFe/
LiHV (1 – 6 cells) rechargeable batteries and lead-acid rechargeable batteries (1 – 12 cells, 2 V – 24 V). The charging
current can be set between 0.1 A and 16.0 A. The maximum charging power is 400 W.
Furthermore, rechargeable batteries can also be discharged; the discharge current can be 0.1 - 3.0 A directly at the
charger. The maximum discharge power is 8 W.
An optional, external charging adapter can increase the discharge capacity up to 200 W or a discharge current of up
to 15 A. This signicantly speeds up the discharge and maintenance of high capacity batteries.
A colour graphic display with menu and a dial with touch function make operating the device simple.
The charger may only be operated at 9 – 32 V/DC. The DC power source must supply sufcient current to reach the
output data. The input power of the power source can be set from 50 to 450 W. The charger thus ensures reliable
operation even with lower-performance power sources.
For lithium rechargeable batteries, a balancer is integrated in the charger. The balancer compensates for voltage dif-
ferences in multi-cellular lithium rechargeable battery packs during charging/discharging. Non-uniformly charged cells
reduce the capacity of the entire rechargeable battery pack. The balancer is suitable for lithium rechargeable battery
packs with 1 to 6 cells. The charge level is displayed individually for each cell.
Do not connect non-rechargeable primary batteries (zinc-carbon, alkaline, etc.).
The polarity of the connection cables and the balancer must be observed!
Operation under adverse ambient conditions is not permitted.
Adverse conditions include:
• Damp or excess air humidity.
• Dust and ammable gases, vapours or solvent,
• Strong vibrations.
Any use other than that described above is not permitted and may damage the product. Furthermore, there are dan-
gers such as short circuit, re, electric shock etc.
The product must not be modied or reassembled!
The safety instructions, the operating instructions of the rechargeable battery pack used and the charging instructions
of the respective rechargeable battery manufacturer must be strictly observed!
