The charging current gets smaller as the process nears the end term of the Lithium

battery charging process. To finish the charging process earlier, this program

eliminates certain terms of the CV process. Actually, the charging current will go

to 1/5 from the initial value to end the process while the normal charging goes to

1/10 during the CV term. The charging capacity may be a bit smaller than normal

charging but the process time will be reduced.

The value on the left side of the second lines sets the

charge current. The value on the right side of the

second line sets the battery pack's voltage. After

setting the current and voltage, press the

Start/Enter

for more than 3 seconds to start the process.

This displays the number of cells you set up and the

processor detects. “R” shows the number of cells

detected by the charger and “S” is the number of cells

set by you at the previous screen. If both numbers are

identical, you can start charging by pressing the

Start/Enter button. If not, press the Batt Type/Stop

button to go back to the previous screen. Carefully

check the number of cells of the battery pack before

proceeding.

This screen shows the real-time status during the

charge process. Press the

Batt Type/Stop key once

to stop the charge process.
