LCD DISPLAY FUNCTIONS

With a large LCD display showing voltage, amperage, time charging, mode, battery type, resistances, capacity, and percentage of charge, you can easily determine the parameters and status of the charging process. The backlight goes off after 1 minute of inactivity.

USING

1. Plug in the power cord.
2. Place the battery in any charging channel. The charger will automatically recognize the type of battery (except LiFePO4/4.35V Li-ion) and will start detecting the battery data, which it will then show on the LCD display.
3. The charger will automatically select the charging current based on the internal resistance of the battery.
4. Press briefly to switch between channels 1-8. Then the backlight is automatically turned on.

LiFePO4/4.35V Li-ion type batteries are not detected automatically. In order to charge this battery, you have to manually select its type! Otherwise, it will be charged like a 4.2V Li-ion battery. This may consequently lead to the explosion of the battery!

Selecting the battery type
Place the battery in any channel, quickly press twice, the symbol of the battery will blink, and press briefly to change the type. Press and hold to finish or wait 5 seconds.

Charge current selection

Press and hold until 8.88A on the display starts flashing. Press as you move between different charging current values. Press and hold to confirm the selection or wait 5 seconds.

Programming function of all channels simultaneously

Press and hold to enter all-channel mode. This is symbolized by flashing all channel numbers. The charger will automatically exit this mode after 5 seconds of inactivity.

1. Press and hold to select the charging current.
2. Quickly press twice to change the battery type.

Note: The mode only supports channels with batteries in them.
NiMH / NiCd type batteries cannot be selected in this mode.

Capacity measurement by charging

• Place a battery in any charging channel. The device will automatically calculate the charging capacity of the battery.
  When ” m A h ” is flashing – the value given corresponds to the current capacity of the battery.
  When ” m A h ” is displayed continuously – the given value corresponds to the total capacity of the battery.

• Tip: place discharged batteries in the charger, after charging is completed, m A h means the total capacity of the battery.

Battery Activation
The charger has functions to activate an over-discharged lithium battery. When the battery is placed in the charging channel, the charger will automatically detect the faulty cell and activate it. If this is not possible, the charger will classify the cell as damaged and display a message and stop charging.

Rebuilding a 0v lithium battery
If a 0V lithium battery is detected, the charger will start the restoration process, charging at a low amperage until it is in the correct form. When the restoration process is complete, the charger will go into normal charging cycle mode. If the battery voltage does not increase for a long time, the charger will classify the cell as defective and display a message and stop charging.

Automatic termination of the charging process
When the battery is fully charged, the LCD will display. The charger will automatically terminate the charging process to prevent the battery life from being shortened by overcharging.

Charge level measurement of NiMH/NiCd battery pack – Δv method
In the process of charging NiMH / NiCd batteries, the device uses the – ΔV method to assess the charge level of the cell as accurately as possible. This allows the maximum capacity to be obtained and at the same time prevents overcharging.

Battery detection and error codes

• Battery check – Battery inserted with incorrect polarity
• Short circuit – The corresponding charging channel blinks and a message is displayed
• Charging will start only when the battery is placed according to the polarity.
