WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES

To avoidshort circuit betweenthe charge lead always connect the
charge cable tothe charger first, then connect thebattery. Reverse
the sequence whendisconnecting.
Do not connectmore than one battery pack tothis charger at
any one time.
Never attempt tocharge or discharge the following typesof
batteries.
“A battery pack which consists of different types of cells
(including different manufacturers)
“A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly
discharged.
“Non-rechargeable batteries (Explosionhazard).
“Batteries that require a different charge technique from
NiCd, NiMh, LiPoor Gel cell (Pb, Lead acid).
“A faulty or damaged battery.
“A battery fitted with an integral charge circuit or a
protection circuit.
“Batteries installed in a device or which are electrically
linked to othercomponents.
“Batteries that are not expressly stated by the
manufacturer to be suitable for the currents the charger
delivers during thecharge process.
Please bear inmind the following points before commencing
charging:
“Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of
battery you are charging?
“Did you setup adequate current for charging ordischarging?
“Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs
can be wired in parallel and in series, i.e. a 2 cell pack can be
3.7V (in parallel)or 7.4V (in series).
“Have you checked that all connections are firm and secure?
Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the
circuit.
“

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
quick-charge 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 gold-
plated should befitted to both ends
Always refer to the manual by the battery manufacturer pertaining to charging
methods, recommended charging current and charging time. Especially, the
Lithium battery should be charged according the charging instruction provided
by the manufacturerstrictly.
Attention should bepaid to the connection of Lithium battery especially.
Do not attemptto disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily
Please get highlighted that Lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in
series. In the parallel connection, the battery’s capacity is calculated by
multiplying single battery’s capacity by the number of cells with total voltage
stay the same. The voltage’s imbalance may cause fire or explosion .Lithium
battery is recommendedto charge in series.
Discharging
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-discharging. 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 the battery.
Some rechargeable batteries have a memory effect. If they are partly used and
recharged before the whole charge is accomplished, they remember this and
will only use that part of their capacity next time. This is a ‘memory effect’ It is
said that NiCd and NiMH batteries are suffering from memory effect. NiCd has
more memory effectthan NiMH.
Lithium batteries are recommended to be discharged partially rather than fully
discharged. Frequent full discharging should be avoided if possible. Instead,
charge the batterymore often or use a battery of larger capacity.
Full capacity cannot be used until it has been subjected to 10 or more charge
cycles. The cyclic process of charge and discharge will optimize the capacity of
battery pack.

To avoid from erroneous setting by
users,B6 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 default:7mV)

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.

There is a 3-pin port on the left of the charger used as USB interface or
temperature sensor port. If the screen displays temperature, you can use
the optional temperature probe to connect to the surface of the battery. If it
is set as the USB port, you can connect the charger to your PC through the
optional USB cable to monitor the charging process through optional
software.
The maximum temperature of the battery can be set during the charge
process. The process will be terminated automatically to protect battery
once the temperature of battery reaches this value. This feature is
accomplished through temperatureprobe (optional).

The program is only suitable for charging/discharging Lithium-polymer
batteries with a nominal voltage of 3.3/3.6/3.7V/cell. Different batteries
have different charge technique. There are two methods termed as
constant voltage and constant current. The charge current varies
according to battery capacity and specification. The final voltage is very
important; it should precisely match the voltage of the battery: LiPo is 3.6V,
LiLo is 4.1V and LiFe is 3.6V. The current and voltage of the battery should
be correctly set.
When you want to change the values of parameters, please press
START/ENTER key to make it blink and then use DES or INC to change the
value. Then pressSTART/ENTER key again tostore the value.
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: 0.1-
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 cells set by
you at 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.
When charging NiCd or NiMH batteries, divide the capacity by current,
then divide the result by 11.9, set this number of minutes as the value for
safety timer setting. If the charger stopped at this time threshold, about
140% of thecapacity will have been fed into the battery.
For example:
Capacity Current Safety Time
2000mAh 2.0A (2000/2.0=1000)/11.9=84 minutes
3300mAh 3.0A (3300/3.0=1100)/11.9=92 minutes
1000mAh 1.2A (1000/1.2=833)/11.9=70 minutes

This program is only suitable for charging Pb lead-acid battery with
nominal voltage from 2 to 20V. Pb lead-acid battery is completely
different from NiCd/NiMH battery. These batteries can only deliver current
lower in comparison to their capacity. The same restriction applies to the
charging process. Consequently, the optimum charge current can only be
1/10 of the capacity. Pb battery can not be used for fast-charging, please
follow the instructionsprovided by the battery manufacturer.
You can press START/ENTER key to make it blink and alter the value of
parameters using INC or DEC key, press START/ENTER key to store the
