WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
08
Charging
During charge process, a specific quantity of electrical energy is fed into
the battery. The charge quantity is calculated by multiplying charge current
by charge time. The maximum permissible charge current varies depending
on the battery type or its performance, and can be found in the information
by the battery manufacturer. Only batteries that are expressly stated to be
capable of quickcharge are allowed to be charged at rates higher than the
standard charge current.
Connect the battery to the terminal of the charger: red is positive and
black is negative. Due to the difference between resistance of cable and
connector, the charger can not detect resistance of the battery pack, the
essential requirement for the charger to work properly is that the charge
lead should be of adequate conductor cross-section, and high quality
connectors which are normally goldplated should be fitted to both ends.
Always refer to the manual by battery manufacturer about charging
methods, recommended charging current and charging time. Especially,
the lithium battery should be charged according the charging instruction
provided by the manufacturer Strictly.
Attention should be paid to the connection of lithium battery espe cially.
Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily. Please get
highlighted that lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in series.
The main purpose of discharging is to clean residual capacity of the
battery, or to reduce the battery voltage to a defined level. The same
attention should be paid to the discharging process as charging. The final
discharge voltage should be set up correctly to avoid deep-dis-charging.
Lithium battery can not be discharged to lower than the minimum voltage,
or it will cause a rapid loss of capacity or a total failure.
Generally, lithium battery doesn't need to be discharged. Please pay
attention to the minimum voltage of lithium battery to protect them.
Lithium batteries are recommended to be discharged partially rather than
fully. Frequent full discharging should be avoided if possible.
