Confirming Battery Types
Default battery types and parameters
NiZn and LiHv batteries need to be selected manually.
Determining Charging current
Storage Function
Cycle Function
Usually the battery chemistry type and the rated voltage are marked on the battery
sleeve. The charger will attempt to automatically identify the battery type based on
the built-in detection algorithm, but please select the battery types manually if the
charger chooses incorrectly.
Always follow your battery manufacturer's charging instructions, as it is important
to know the maximum charging current of the battery. Applying excessive charge
current may reduce the lifespan of a battery and/or cause damage.
In addition, excessive currents can cause heating and/or explosing of the battery
during the charging process.
Set the charging current to 1C or less. A battery's C-rate is derived from the
capacity. For example, 1C current for a 1000mAh battery is 1000mA. Thus,
maximum charging current is 1000mA (1.0A).
Charge time will be directly proportional to charging current and due to
differences in battery conversion efficiency, the time taken to complete charging
might be extended for different battery types and capacities.
Use the storage function if a battery will not be used for a long period.
When selecting storage function, automatic charging will be initiated if the battery
voltage is lower then the preset storage voltage; likewise, automatic discharging
will be initiated if the battery voltage is higher then the preset storage voltage.
In this mode the battery will start a cycle of charging and discharging which can be
configured up to 30 cycles.
Please note that the battery may be damaged if the number of times is large.
This function cannot be used for NiMH batteries.
Analysis Function
The analysis function can be applied to a battery that is under-performing or if you
would like to examine performance in general.This function can also be used to
identify and match the working capacities of batteries.
Activation Function
Occasionally a NiCd or NiNH battery may become so discharged that it can no
longer be recharged under normal conditions, especially if the voltage is extremely
low. Battery activation uses a low current to perform an activation cycle which will
charge, discharge,then charge the battery. The battery will be activated during this
process but will sometimes require up to three cycles. If the battery still cannot be
activated, then do not continue and dispose of the battery.
Internal Resistance Measurement Function
Charging Completion
Battery short circuit and
reverse polarity protection
The charger is equipped with a function for measuring the internal resistance of
individual cells. The internal resistance is measured and calculated after the charging
task has been initiated for 10 seconds.
When the charger measures the internal resistance of the battery, it will instantly
adjust the charging current, so it is normal for sudden changes to occur in the
current during the charging process.
Due to the way the device measures internal resistance, the amount of the charging
current can impact the accuracy of the internal resistance measurement.
A battery with large capacity and low internal resistance requires a larger charging
current to accurately measure the internal resistance.
After beginning a task, progress will be displayed in the task quick preview bar.
will be displayed when the task is completed. It is normal for voltage decline
to occur once charging completes. As the number of charge cycles increases, the
performance of a battery decreases, and voltage decline becomes more obvious.
Charging a battery with a larger current will also cause a greater decline in voltage
after the charging is complete.
When a battery has been inserted with
the wrong polarity, the corresponding
slots status will be displayed as follows:
Detailed usage of each function can be obtained from the QR code on the
next page. (The explanations are based on AAA NiMH batteries.)

Activate Charging
To enter the System Settings screen, remove all batteries from the charger
and then long press the middle button.
There are four options for volume setting:
high, medium, low and off.
When set to “off” ,the operation prompt
sound will be turned off, but the error
prompt sound will not be turned off.
Set the background color to bright/dark.
Set the maximum battery capacity.
Charging automatically stops when the
charge amount reaches the maximum
battery capacity. (Safety function)
If this option is turned on when the user
selects the task type as Charging, the
charger will automatically discharge
the battery before charging.
This is to eliminate the memory effect of the battery and restore the storage
capacity of the battery.
