iCharger Synchronous Balance Charger/Discharger 1010B+
NiCd/NiMH forming charge
This forming charge program aims to eliminate capacity imbalance between cells in a battery.
The iCharger first charges with constant current (CC=1C) according to the user setting. When the charging
voltage reaches the peak threshold (1.48V/cell) it switches to the CV phase. In the CV phase the current
gradually falls.
When the current drops to C/4 the iCharger will charge another 25% Capacity at C/10
current and then terminate the process.
The left side of the first line shows the type of battery (NiCd/NiMH). The
value on the left side of second line sets the cell capacity and the value on
the right side of second line sets the cell count and nominal voltage of the
battery pack. Press Start/Enter for more than 3 seconds to start charging.
Forming capacity: 0.1 – 9.9Ah
Cell count: 1 – 25S
Forming status. You can stop the process at any time by pressing Batt
type/Stop, and display the General Status information by pressing Dec
button.
Note: In the first period (CV charging), it displays‖CHG‖/‖FRM‖ alternately in
Work State. It will display‖FRM‖ when in the second period (CC charging).
