WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
Discharging:
The main purpose of discharging is to clean residual capacity of the battery, or to reduce the battery'
voltage to a defined level. The same attention should be paid to the discharging process as charging.
The final discharge voltage should be set up correctly to avoid deep-discharging. Lithium battery can
not be discharged to lower than the minimum voltage, or it will cause a rapid loss of capacity or a total
failure. Generally, Lithium battery doesn't need to be discharged. Please pay attention to the minimum
voltage of Lithium battery to protect the battery.
Some rechargeable batteries have a memory effect. If they are partly used and echarged before the
whole charge is accomplished, they remember this and will only use that part of their capacity next
time. This is 'memory effect' It is said that NiCd and NiMH batteries are suffering from memory effect.
NiCd has more memory effect than NiMH.
Lithium batteries are recommended to be discharged partially rather than fully discharged. Frequent full
discharging should be avoided if possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a battery of
larger capacity. Full capacity cannot be used until it has been subjected to 10 or more charge cycles.
The cyclic process of charge and discharge will optimize the capacity of battery pack.
Always refer to the manual by the battery manufacturer pertaining to charging methods, recommended
charging current and charging time. Especially, the Lithium battery should be charged according the
charging instruction provided by the manufacturer strictly.
Attention should be paid to the connection of Lithium battery expecially.
Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily.
Please get highlighted that Lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in series. In the parallel
connection, the battery's capacity is calculated by multiplying single battery's capacity by the number of
cells with total voltage stay the same. The voltage's imbalance may cause fire or explosion. Lithium
battery is recommended to charge in series.
STORAGE CONTROL OF LITHIUM BATTERY
DISCHARGE OF LITHIUM BATTERY
At this screen, you can set up the current and voltage of the
battery pack. Charging and discharging will make the batteries
come to the voltage level of 'storage' state.
This screen shows the real-time status charging. Press BATT
TYPE/STOP key once to stop the charge process.
The value of discharge current on the left cannot exceed 1C, and
the value on the right cannot be under the voltage recommended
by the manufacturer to avoid deep discharging. Press
STAR/ENTER for more than 3 seconds to start charging.
This shows the real-time status of discharging, you can press
BATT.TYPE/STOP key to stop discharging.
