Refer to the information provided by the battery manufacturer regarding charging methods, and verify the
recommended charge current and charge time. Especially for Lithium batteries, you have to follow the
charge instruction provided by the manufacturer strictly.
Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily.
You have to pay attention to verify the capacity and the voltage of the Lithium battery pack. It may be
composed of parallel and series connection mixed. In parallel link the capacity of the battery pack is multiplied
by the number of cells but the voltage remains same. That kind of voltage imbalance causes a fire or explosion
during charge process. We recommend you compose the Lithium battery pack in series only.
Discharge
The typical purpose of discharge is to determine the residual capacity of the battery, or to lower the voltage
of battery to a defined level. When you discharge the battery you also have to pay attention on the process
same as charging. To avoid the battery becoming deep-discharged, set the final discharge voltage correctly.
Lithium batteries should not be deep-discharged to lower than the minimum voltage, as this leads to a rapid
loss of capacity or a total failure. Generally, you do not need to discharge Lithium battery voluntarily.
Some rechargeable batteries are said to have a memory effect. If they are partly used and recharged
before the whole charge is drawn out, they "remember" this and next time will only use that part of their
capacity. This is a "member effect". NiCd and NiMH batteries are said to suffer from memory effect.
They prefer complete cycles; fully charge then use until empty, do not recharge before storage—allow
them to self-discharge during storage. NiMH batteries have less memory effect than NiCd.
The Lithium battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be
avoided if possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery.
The brand-new NiCd battery pack is partially useful with its capacity until it has been subjected to 10
or more charge cycles in any case. The cyclic process of charge and discharge will lead to optimize the
capacity of battery pack.
iniTiAL PArAMETEr SET UP (USErS SET UP)
It will be operated with the default value of the essential user settings when it is connected to a 12V
battery or a AC wall socket for the first time. The screen displays the following information is sequence and
the user can change the value of parameter on each screen. When you are willing to alter the parameter
value in the program, press start/Enter key to make it blink then change the value with inC/DEC key. The
value will be stored by pressing start/Enter key once.

is different from correct value the battery can explode during charge process.

you can set the time term to verify the cell count by the processor. Normally, 10 minutes are enough to
perceive the cell count correctly. For the battery of larger capacity, you may extend the time term. But if
you set the time term too long for the battery of smaller capacity, the charge or discharge process can be
finished within the time term with the erroneous cell count. This may cause the fatal result. If the processor
recognizes the cell count incorrectly at the beginning of charge or discharge process, you may extend the
time. Otherwise, you had better use with the default value.

The screen displays the nominal voltage of Lithium battery. There are three
kinds of Lithium battery; LiFe(3.3V), Lilo(3.6V) or LiPo(3.7V). This is very
important so you have to check the battery carefully and set it up correctly. If it
It recognise the cell count of Lithium battery automatically at the beginning
of charge or discharge process to avoid from erroneous setting by user. But
deeply discharged battery can be perceived incorrectly. To prevent the error,
