Imaxrc B6-TWINS - Manual (Page 15)

WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
The screen shows the nominal voltage of Lithium battery. There are
three kinds of Lithium battery: LiFe(3.3V),LiIo(3.6V) or LiPo(3.7V). This
information is of critical importance that you have to check the battery
carefully to make sure it is set up correctly. If it is different from correct
value, explosion can occur during charge process.
To avoid from erroneous setting by users, B6 Twins detects the cell
count of Lithium battery automatically at the beginning of charge or
discharge process. But battery that is deep-discharged can't be
detected correctly. To avoid this error, the time term can be set to verify
the cell count by the processor. Normally, 15 seconds are enough to
detect the cell count correctly. You need to extend the time term limit for
the battery of large capacity. But the charge or discharge process may
come to an end within the time term because of the time limit decided by
the wrong count if you set too long time limit for the battery of small
capacity. This may cause fatal error. You have to extend the time term if
the processor detect the cell count incorrectly at the beginning of charge
or discharge process. Otherwise, default value is recommended to use.
This shows the trigger voltage for automatical charge termination of
NiMH and NiCd battery. The valid value ranges from 5 to 20 mV per cell.
Setting the trigger voltage higher brings a danger of overcharging;
whereas setting it lower brings a possibility of premature termination.
Please refer to the technical specification of the battery. (NiCd default:
12mV, NiMH defalt: 7mV)
CHARGING OF LITHIUM BATTERY
CHARGING OF LITHIUM BATTERY
The left side of the first line shows the type of battery you choose.
The value on the left of the second line of the charger is current
user set. After setting the current and voltage, press
START/ENTER key for more than 3 seconds to start the
process. (charge current: .1-5.0A, voltage: 1-5V).
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 sells set by you and the previous screen.
If both numbers are identical you can start charging by press
START/ENTER button. If not, press BATT TYPE/STOP button to
go back to previous screen to carefully check the number of cells
of the battery pack before going ahead.
This screen show the real-time status during charge process.
Press BATT TYPE/STOP key once to stop the charge process.
CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERY IN THE BALANCE MODE
This function is for balancing the voltage of Lithium-polymer battery cells while charging. In the
balance mode, the battery needs to have a balance lead to connect to the individual port at the
right side of the charger. And you need to connect the battery's output plug to the output of
charger.
Charging in this mode is different from the normal modes, because the built-in processor
monitors voltage of individual cell and control input current fed into each cell to normalize the
voltage.
