Description
For charging LiPo/LiFe/LiIon/LiHV battery
For discharging LiPo/LiFe/LiIon/LiHV battery
For charging or discharging lithium battery which will
not be used for long time.
For charging at a slightly smaller capacity than normal
charging. The process time will be reduced.
For balancing the voltage of lithium-polymer battery
cells while charging.
Note: We recommend charging lithium batteries
with a balance wire in all modes.
For charging NiMH/NiCd battery using the charge
current set by the user.
In this program the charger detects the condition of
the battery connected to the output and automatically
charges the battery.
Note: you should set up the upper limit of the
charge current to avoid damage by excessive
feeding current. Some batteries of low resistance
and capacity can lead to higher current.
For discharging NiMH/NiCd battery
For peak charging the battery once, twice or three
times in a row automatically. This is good for confirming
that the battery is fully charged, and for checking how
well the battery receives fast charges.
For 1 to 5 continuous cycles of charge/discharge or
discharge/charge. It is good for battery refreshing and
balancing to stimulate the battery's activity.
For charging Pb battery
For discharging Pb battery
