D) Fast Charge ("Fast Chg"); E) Storing Accumulators ("Storage") - VOLTCRAFT B6 Dual Power Bedienungsanleitung

d) Fast charge ("FAST CHG")

When charging a Lithium accumulator, the charge current becomes increasingly lower the
fuller the accumulator due to the applied charge procedure for lithium accumulators. Of course,
this also increases the charging time.
A special charging procedure achieves a higher charge current with fast charging. However,
this reduces the capacity, because the charge process is terminated earlier due to the safety
cutoff in the charger.
This means, a LiPo accumulator, for example, cannot be fully charged using the quick charge
function. Only approx. 90% of the capacity achievable with the normal charge process are
available.

Therefore, quick charging only makes sense if the accumulator is supposed to
be available gain as fast as possible.
The procedure of setting the charge current and the voltage/cell count is the same as with the
normal charge process (see chapter 11. b).

e) Storing accumulators ("STORAGE")

This function can be used to set the accumulator to a certain voltage level, which is regarded
as ideal for storage (LiPo = 3.85V, LiIon = 3.75V, LiFe = 3.3V).
Depending on the cell voltage, the accumulator is either charged or discharged. Of course,
with a multi-cell accumulator pack, this only makes sense if a balancer connection is available.
The procedure of setting the current and the voltage/cell count is the same as with the normal
charge process (see chapter 11. b).

The set current is used for charging/discharging.
