1. FEATURES
OPTIMISED OPERATING SOFTWARE
When charging or discharging, the charger has an ‘AUTO’ function that sets the charge
current automatically; especially for Lithium batteries. This prevents over-charging which
can lead to an explosion of your battery. Every program in the unit is controlled with
mutual links and communication for every possible error for maximum safety. These
can be set in the user options. It also has a convenient balance charge port for Lithium
batteries, with separated 2, 3 and 4 cell charge port; and external temperature sensor
connection.
HIGH-POWER AND HIGH-PERFORMANCE CIRCUIT
The charger employs the circuit that has maximum output power of 6OW. As a result it
can charge or discharge up to 8 cells of NiCd/NiMH and 4 cells of Lithium batteries with
maximum current of 6.0A. Furthermore the cooling system is so efficient that can hold
such a power without any trouble of running the CPU or the operating program.
INDIVIDUAL VOLTAGE BALANCER FOR LITHIUM BATTERIES INSIDE
The charger has an individual-cell-voltage balancer inside.This does not require any
extra balancer separately when charging Lithium batteries (Lilo/ LiHv/ LiPo/ LiFe) for cell
voltage balancing.
BALANCE INDIVIDUAL CELLS ON DISCHARGE
It also can monitor and balance individual cells of the Lithium battery pack during the
discharge process. If the voltage of any one cell varies abnormally, the process will be
stopped with the error message.
ACCEPT VARIOUS TYPES OF LITHIUM BATTERIES
It can accept 4 types of Lithium batterles- Lilo, LiHv,LiPo and LiFe. They have different
characteristics by their chemistry. You can select any one of them that you are going to
process before the job. For their specifications, refer ‘Warnings and safety notes’ section.
LITHIUM BATTERY ‘FAST’ AND ‘STORAGE’ MODE
You can charge Lithium battery for special purposes. ‘Fast’ charge reduces the charging
time o f Lithium battery and ‘Storage’ mode controls the final voltage of the battery to be
suitable for long term storage.

MAXIMUM SAFETY
Delta-peak sensitivity: The automatic charge termination program works on the
principle of the Delta-peak voltage detection (NiCd/NiMH).
Auto-charge current limit: When charging NiCd or NiMH at ‘AUTO’ current mode, you
can set the upper limit of change current to avoid from high current charging. This is very
useful when charging the low impedance and small capacity NiMH battery in ‘AUTO’
mode.
Capacity limit: The changing capacity is always calculated by multiplying the charging
current and time. If the charging capacity exceeds the limit the process will be terminated
automatically when you set the maximum value.
Temperature limit: The temperature of the battery on charging will rise by its internal
chemical reaction. If you set the limit of temperature the process will be ended forcibly
when the limit has been reached.
Processing time limit: you can also restrain the maximum process time to prevent from
any possible defect.
Automatic cooling fan: The electric cooling fan comes into action automatically when
the internal temperature of the unit is raised.
DATA STORE/LOAD
For user convenience it can store maximum data for 5 of each battery type. You can
establish the data contains program setting of the battery to charge or discharge
continually. This data can be called out at any time you need and the process can be
executed without program setting.
CYCLIC CHARGING/DISCHARGING
Perform 1 to 5 cycles of charge>discharge or discharge>charge continually for battery
refreshing and balancing.

3. WARNINGS AND SAFETY NOTES
• Never leave the charger unsupervised when connected to power supply. If any
malfunction is observed immediately terminate the process and refer to this manual.
• Keep away the unit from dust, damp, rain, heat, direct sunshine and vibration. Do not
drop the unit or use after any major impact.
• The circuit of the unit is designed to be powered by a 100-240V AC only.
• This unit and the battery should be set up on a heat-resistant, non-flammable and non-
conductive surface; we recommend using a LiPo safe bag. Keep all flammable volatile
materials well away from operating area.
• Be sure to understand the information of the battery to be charged or discharged. If the
program is set incorrectly the battery can be severely damaged.
• Especially Lithium battery can cause a fire or an explosion by over-charging.

7
• To avoid short-circuit between the charge leads, always connect the charge cable to
the unit first and only then to the battery. Reverse this sequence when disconnecting.
Short-circuiting either the battery or charger can cause permanent damage.
• It is important to verify the capacity and the voltage of the Lithium battery pack. It
may be composed of parallel and series connection of cells. For parallel connection
the capacity of the battery pack is multiplied by the number of cells but the voltage
remains same. A voltage imbalance between cells caused by mixed connection of
cells can cause 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
must pay attention to the process the 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 ‘memory 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 prefer 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.
• A brand-new NiCd battery pack only uses part of its capacity until it has been
subjected to 10 or more charge cycles. The cyclic process of charge and discharge
will lead to optimised capacity of your battery pack.
These warnings and safety notes are extremely important.
Please follow instructions for maximum safety; otherwise the
charger and the battery can be damaged permanently. Improper
use may cause fires and injury to yourself and your property.

5. INITIAL PARAMETER SET UP (USER’S SET UP)
When used for the first time the charger will operate according to the preset value. You
can modify parameters in the Settings column for the second time use. The screen
displays the following information in sequence and the user can change the value of
parameter on each screen.
When you want to change the parameter values in the program, press Start/Enter key
to make it blink, then change the value with INC or DEC key. The value will be stored by
pressing Start/Enter key once.
The units recognises the cell count of a Lithium battery automatically at the beginning
of charge or discharge process, to avoid erroneous settings by user. Fully discharged
batteries may be perceived incorrectly. To prevent this error, you can set the time term to
verify the cell count by the processor.
Normally 10 minutes is enough to view the cell count
correctly. For a larger capacity battery, you may extend
the time term. Be careful not to set the time term too
long for a battery of smaller capacity, the charge or
discharge process can finish within the time term with
an erroneous cell count. This may cause permanent
damage to the battery. If the processor recognises the cell
count incorrectly at the beginning of charge or discharge
process, you may extend the time.
This shows the trigger voltage for automatic charge
termination of NiMH and NiCd battery. The effective value
ranges from 5 to 20mV per cell. If the trigger voltage is set
higher, there is a danger of overcharging the battery. If it is
set lower, there is a possibility of premature termination.
Please refer the technical specification of the battery (NiCd
default: 12mV, NiMH default: 7mV).

You can set the maximum temperature at which the
charger should allow the battery to reach during charge,
If a battery reaches this temperature during charging, the
process will be terminated to protect the battery.
A battery on the cyclic process of charge and discharge can
often become warm after charge or discharge period. The
program can insert a time delay to occur after each charge
and discharge process to allow the battery adequate time to
cool down before being subjected to the next process. The
value ranges from 1 to 60 minutes.
When you start a charge process the integral safety timer
automatically starts running at the same time. This is
programmed to prevent overcharging the battery if it
proves to be faulty, or if the termination circuit cannot
detect the full battery. The value for the safety timer should
be generous enough to allow a full charge of the battery.
This program sets the maximum charge capacity that will
be supplied to the battery during charge. If the delta-pack
voltage is not detected or the safety timer expired by any
reason, this feature will automatically stop the process at
the selected capacity value.
The beep sounds every time you press a button to confirm
your action. The beep or melody will sound at various
times during operation to alert different mode changes.
These audible sounds can be turned on or off.
Press Enter for 3 seconds to restore factory setting
(default).

6. LITHIUM BATTERY(LILO/LIPO/LIFE/LIHV)PROGRAM
Use these programs only when charging a lithium battery (Lilo/LiPo/LiHV/LiFe) with a
nominal voltage of 3.6V, 3.7V, 3.8V or 3.3V per cell, respectively.
The charge current going into the battery will vary depending on the chemistry type so it
is VERY IMPORTANT that you select the correct type for your battery.
The ending voltage of the charge is also important as it varies for all four types; 4.1V for
Lilo, 4.2V for LiPo, 4.35V for LiHV and 3.6V for LiFe. The charge current (how many Amps
you are putting into the pack) and nominal voltage (proper voltage for the cell count of the
battery you are charging) must be correct for the battery to be charged.
To change these settings, press the Start/Enter key to make the selected value blink.
Using the increase and decrease buttons, set you desired amperage, then press Start/
Enter to save the setting. You will then be asked to select your nominal voltage/cell
count. Again, use the increase/decrease buttons to reach your desired setting and press
the Start/Enter button to confirm and save.
When you wish to change a parameter value in the program, press Start/Enter key to
make it blink then change the value with INC or DEC key. The value will be stored by
pressing Start/Enter key once.

by the charger and ‘S:’ is the number of cells selected by
you at the previous screen. If both numbers are identical
you can start charging by pressing Start/Enter button. If
not, press Batt Type/Stop button to go back to previous
screen. Then carefully check the number of cells of the
battery pack to charge again.
The screen shows the present situation during charge process,
To stop charging press Batt Type/Stop key once.
6.2 CHARGING A LITHIUM BATTERY IN BALANCE MODE
This is for balancing the voltages of the cells of the battery park to be charged. The
battery pack to be charged should be connected to the balance port at the front of the
charger. You also need to connect the battery output plug to the main output of charger.
In this mode, the charging process will be different from ordinary charging mode. The
internal processor of the charger will monitor the voltages of each cell of the battery pack
and controls charging current that is feeding to each cell to normalise the voltage.
The value on the left side of second line sets a charge current and the value on the right
side of second line sets the voltage of the battery pack.
After setting the current and voltage press Start/Enter
key for more than 3 seconds to start the process (Charge
current: 0,1~6,0A, Voltage: 2-4S).
This shows the number of cells you set up and the
processor detects. ‘R:’ shows the number of cells found
by the charger and ‘S:’ is the number of cells selected 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, then carefully check the number of cells of the
battery pack to charge again.

6.3 ‘FAST’ CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERY
The charging current usually gets smaller as the charging process nears completion.
To finish charging process earlier, this program eliminates certain CV and balancing
processes. Under this charging method when the charge current goes down to 1/5 of the
initial value the charging process is finished. Under this situation the charging capacity
may smaller than the charging capacity under normal balance charging, but with a
reduced charging time.
You can set the charging current and the voltage of the
battery pack being charged. As you press START/ENTER
button the voltage confirmation will be displayed. If you
confirm the voltage and current, press START/ENTER
button again to start charging.
This shows the present state of ‘FAST’ charging. To stop
charging arbitrarily, press Batt Type/Stop key once.
6.4 ‘STORAGE’ CONTROL LITHIUM BATTERY
This is for charging or discharging Lithium battery not to be used for the time being.
The program will determine to charge or discharge the battery to the certain voltage
depending on the voltage of the battery at its initial stage. This is different for each type
of the battery, 3.7V for Lilo, 3.8V for LiPo, 3.85V for LiHv and 3.3V for LiFe per cell. If the
voltage of battery at its initial stage is over the voltage level to storage, the program will
start to discharge.
You can set up the current and the voltage of the battery
pack to be charged. The current will be used for charge
or discharge the battery to reach the ‘storage’ level of
voltage.
The screen shows the present situation during charge
process. To stop charging press Batt Type/Stop key once.

6.5 DISCHARGING LITHIUM BATTERY
The value of discharge current on the left side of the
screen may not exceed 1C for maximum safety. The
discharge current ranges from 0.1 to 2.0A and the final
voltage on the right should not be under the voltage level
that is recommended by the battery manufacturer to avoid
deep discharging.
To start the discharge, press Start/Enter key for more than
3 seconds.
This shows the present state of discharge. To stop
discharging press Batt Type/Stop key once.
6.6 VOLTAGE BALANCING AND MONITORING DURING DISCHARGE
The processor monitors the voltage of individual cells during ‘storage-mode’ and
‘discharge’ of Lithium battery pack. It tries to normalise the voltages to be equal. For this
feature, the balance plug of the battery pack should be connected to the balance port of
the charger.
If the voltage of any one or more cells varies abnormally during the procedure it
terminates the process forcibly with the error message. If this happens, the battery pack
contains a bad cell, or there is bad connection of the cable plug. You can easily know
which one cell is bad by pressing INC button at time of showing the error message.
The processor found that the voltage of one of the cells in
the Lithium battery pack is too low.
In this case, the 3rd cell is bad. If there is a connection-
break of the cable or plug, the voltage value may show
zero.

8. PB (LEAD-SULPHURIC ACID) BATTERY PROGRAM
This is programmed for charging Pb (lead-sulphuric acid) battery with nominal voltage
from 6 to 12V. Pb batteries are totally different from NiCd or NiMH batteries. They can
only deliver relatievely low current compared to their capacity, and similar restrictions
definitely apply to charge. The optimal charge current will be 1/10 of the capacity. Pb
batteries must not be charged rapidly. Always follow the instruction is supplied by the
manufacturer of battery.
If you wish to alter the parameter values in the program, press Start/Enter key to make
it blink then change the value with INC or DEC key. The value will be stored by pressing
Start/Enter key once.
8.1 CHARGING PB BATTERY
Set up the charge current on the left and the nominal
voltage of the battery on the right. The charge current
ranges from 0.1 to 6.0A and the voltage should be
matched with the battery being charged. Start the charge
process by pressing Start/Enter key for more than 3
seconds.

9. BATTERY INTERNAL RESISTANCE TESTING SYSTEM
Lithium battery internal resistance is an important indicator of battery discharge capacity
and efficiency. We can know battery performance and the matching of each battery by
getting the battery resistance value. The lithium battery internal resistance value tested by
this charger is relative (not absolute), which is tested under the testing voltage. But it can
also know the battery performance and matching through the relative value. If you want
more battery performance comparison, you had better put them under the same voltage
to detect. For example, to compare two 3-cells batteries, you should ensure that the total
voltage is consistent. Testing in the single voltage of 4.2V, the test data is smaller the
performance better and the data more close to the battery the better matching nature.
