Charging:
The charger is able to charge batteries with various chemistry. Before charging the battery, please check that the battery cables is correctly connected to the charger. If the cables are not correctly connected to the charger, the charger may not be able to charge. LiPo, LiHV, LiFe, Li-ion batteries must connect the balancing connector to a charger before charging. If the voltage of any cell in the battery pack is lower than 1.5V, the charger will not be able to charge. After the battery is connected to the charger, you need to select the corresponding battery connection channel to perform the relevant settings. The charger can set the type of battery, adjust the parameters such as charging cut-off voltage, charging current, etc. After the parameters are set, the charger will charge the battery to the preset voltage and balance it.

Discharging:
The charger is able to discharge batteries with various chemistry. Before discharging the battery, please check that the battery cables is correctly connected to the charger. If the cables are not correctly connected to the charger, the charger may not be able to discharge. LiPo, LiHV, LiFe, Li-ion batteries must connect the balancing connector to a charger before discharging. If the voltage of any cell in the battery pack is lower than cut- off valtage, the charger will not be able to discharge. After the battery is connected to the charger, you need to select the corresponding battery connection channel to perform the relevant settings. The charger can set the type of battery, adjust the parameters such as discharging cut-off voltage, discharging current, etc. After the parameters are set, the charger will discharge the battery to the preset voltage and balance it.

Balance feature:
The Balance feature of the charger is used to equalize the voltage between the cells, and can be used to equalize the battery pack with a cell voltage difference greater than 10mV. If any cell of the battery pack is less than 1.5V, the battery will not be able to perform the balancing work. The charger can select the ending cut-off voltage in the interface of the balance mode. If the voltage of the cell is lower than this voltage value, the charger will charge the battery to this voltage and equalize. If the voltage of the cell is higher than this voltage, the charger will discharge the battery to this voltage and equalize.

ExtDischarge function introduction:
First, insert the battery that needs to be discharged into the DC input port of the charger. The discharge plug of the battery must be an XT60 plug. Then insert the discharger of the external load into the corresponding channel port. If a resistor is used as a load for discharge, the resistor will generate a lot of heat. Please pay attention to safety to avoid accidents or personal injury

• When the external discharge is working, click the “Confirm” button to enter the interface shown in Figure 4 to adjust the working current;

• After the discharge is completed, the product will enter the interface shown in Figure 3.

DigtalPower function introduction:
When the digital power supply function is selected, the entire charger is equivalent to an adjustable power supply, and the voltage and current of the output port can be set. The output port voltage can be set between 5-29V, and the current can be set between 0.1-15A. The output port cannot be short- circuited or overloaded, otherwise it will burn the product.

Work interface description:
After entering the work, the display is shown in Figure 5. Click the “Confirm” button to enter the interface shown in Figure 6 to adjust the power supply voltage and current.

SyncCharging function introduction
The maximum output power of SyncCharge function is 500W (The power of the external DC input power supply needs to be more than 550W@20V to meet the max power output, but must be below 700W), and the adjustable range of charging current is 0.1A-23A. When charging, it is necessary to correctly connect the battery major connector and the balance connector to the charger.

Note: To use the Synccharging mode, you need to use a parallel charging cable (the charger does not include a parallel charging cable, you may need to purchase it separately), see the diagram below.

2. Long press the “Channel/Exit” button of the charger, then connect the charger to the power supply until the charger emits a “beep” sound, then release the button, double-click to open the upgrade software, and click “Update” as shown in Figure 1 When the upgrade starts, the charger screen goes black until the upgrade is complete. During the upgrade process, if the USB is unplugged, the power is cut off, etc., the upgrade will fail (the original version of the software has been cleared at this time). As shown in Figure 2, you can repeat steps 1 and 2 above to restart the upgrade.

CHARGER ERRORS

1. Self-inspection error process: The charger will automatically execute the self-test program when it is connected to the power supply. At this time, if the battery is connected, it will cause the self-test to report an error.
2. Battery connection abnormal error reporting processing: Re-plug the battery and ensure that all connections are in reliable contact. If the error message appears repeatedly, check whether the metal parts of the battery interface are oxidized and burned to affect the possibility of contact
3. If the charger displays an error, follow the on-screen prompts to remedy the error. If necessary, disconnect the battery from the output and balance ports, disconnect the power supply, and restart the charger.
