Charge-Checks purpose is to periodically top-up a devices battery to
minimize overcharging. For reference, overcharging (or trickle
charging) is the act of charging a battery beyond its capacity, for
extended and unnecessary periods of time. Once a charging cycle has
started, Charge-Check will monitor the device and charge the battery
until suciently topped-up (up to a maximum of 4 hours). At this
point, it will suspend charging for a set length of time (be default 3
hours) before attempting to top-up the battery again. This is a
recommended strategy because Lithium-ion batteries are proven to
last longer when the batterys charge percentage hovers consistently
The modes on Charge-Check give the user the ability to congure a timeout
length between top-ups of 1 to 5 hours, based on their device charge time and
usage levels. In Single Charge mode, any additional charges of the device will
need to be manually restarted by pressing the black button on the Charge-
Check unit.
Conguration of Charge-Check is completed using the black button located on
the unit.
To select any of the available modes, follow these steps:
MODE SELECTION ACTION
1 hour timeout Press button once, followed by a 10 second hold 1 hr discharge between top-ups
2 hour timeout Press button 2 times, followed by a 10 second hold 2 hr discharge between top-ups
3 hour timeout Press button 3 times, followed by a 10 second hold 3 hr discharge between top-ups
4 hour timeout Press button 4 times, followed by a 10 second hold 4 hr discharge between top-ups
5 hour timeout Press button 5 times, followed by a 10 second hold 5 hr discharge between top-ups
Single Charge Press button 6 times, followed by a 10 second hold Charge device once, top-ups disabled

number of times according to the table below.
2. Hold down the black button for 10 seconds to conrm the changes.
around 50-60%.
Charge-Check was intended for a number of dierent applications, meaning this default 3 hour timeout may not be
appropriate for some devices. As a result, the user is able to congure the time allocations between top-ups, or
disabling top-ups all together. The following will guide you through the advanced conguration feature of Charge-
Check.

In addition to the standard modes, there are several advanced settings available on
Charge-Check.

1.
2.
Once the LEDs stop ashing, the LEDs will then blink to display the current mode (i.e. 2 blinks would indicate 2 hour
timeout mode).
Day/Night Mode
By default, the LEDs will slowly pulse whenever the Charge-Check is charging. Since most users charge their devices
overnight, or beside their beds, this mode makes it possible to disable, or enable, the LEDs during a charge.
To toggle between Day Mode and Night Mode you will need to follow these steps:
Once the LEDs start ashing, they will continue to ash until the black button has been released. This indicates that the
top-up mode has not been modied and that the LEDs charging status has been changed.
1. Ensure the Charge-Check is powered on.
2. Press the black button on the Charge-Check unit at least 7 times.
3. Hold down the black button for 10 seconds, until the LEDs begin ashing back and forth for several seconds, and
continue holding the black button.
Restore Factory Defaults
This setting provides a means of restoring the Charge-Check to its original settings (i.e. Day Mode with a 3 hour
timeout).
To Restore Factory Defaults you will need to follow these steps:
Once the LEDs stop ashing, the LEDs will then blink 3 times indicating that the unit has been restored to its default
settings (i.e. Day Mode with a 3 hour timeout).
1. Ensure the Charge-Check is powered o.
2. Press and hold the black button while connecting the Charge-Check unit to power.
3. Continue to hold the black button, until the LEDs begin ashing back and forth for several seconds, and continue
holding the black button.
