CHARGER OPERATIONS (cont.)
2. CHARGING PROGRAM
The available program modes are dependent on the battery type used. The
chart below lists the different operations available for each type of battery.
Use the up
▲ and down ▼ arrows on the screen to find the program opera-
tion you wish to use.

OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
LiPo
LiIon
LiFe
CHARGE This is the normal CHARGING mode for Lithium chemistry batteries.
DISCHARGE This is the normal DISCHARGING mode for Lithium chemistry batteries.
STORAGE
Storage Mode is best used for charging or discharging Lithium chemistry
batteries that will be stored for a long period of time.
FAST CHG.
With Fast Mode Charging, the total charge capacity is reduced but the
charge process will take less time.
BAL. CHARGE
Balance Charging balances the voltage of each cell while charging.
Note: WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERIES IN
BALANCE MODE.
VOLT METER
Volt Meter is used to check the Lithium chemistry battery’s total voltage,
the highest and lowest voltage and each cell’s individual voltage.
NiCd
NiMH
CHARGE
This is the normal CHARGING mode for NiCd and NiMH batteries using
the current set by the user.
AUTO CHG.
In Auto Charge Mode, the charger automatically detects the connected
NiMH or NiCd battery and determines the proper full charge and cutoff
thresholds.
NOTE: Setting the upper charge current limit for safe levels based on
your battery specifications will ensure safe charging of your specific
battery.
DISCHARGE This is the Normal Mode for discharging NiMH/NiCd batteries.
RE-PEAK
In Re-peak Mode, the charger will automatically peak charge the battery
once, twice or three times in a row. This process is good for confirming
the battery is fully charged and for verifying how well the battery can
accept a fast charge.
CYCLE
In Cycle Mode, you can program the charger to automatically process
up to 5 charge/discharge or discharge/charge cycles. This is helpful for
refreshing and balancing the battery’s performance.
VOLT METER The user can check NiCd or NiMH battery pack’s total voltage.
Pb
Lead
Acid
CHARGE Standard Charge Mode for Pb type batteries.
DISCHARGE Standard Discharge Mode for Pb type batteries.
VOLT METER The user can check Pb (Lead Acid) battery pack’s total voltage.

3. PROGRAM START
Touch the start button or touch and hold the framed Operation Program
for 3 seconds to start the program. The charger will check the number of
battery cells automatically. If the detected result and your setting match, the
charger will begin the selected operation.
Information Displayed during Operation
If the settings are incorrect, an error message will be displayed. Touch the Home
button to go back to the main menu and correct the setting before proceeding.
