Precaution
For your protection, please read this safety information completely before operating the DFT-6900. Carefully observe
all warnings, precautions and instructions.
WARNING: Servicing described in this manual is to be done only by qualified personnel. To avoid electrical shock,
do not service the instrument unless you are qualified to do so.
DANGER
Safety testing has been done on this instrument thoroughly before shipment. However,
mishandling during use could result in injury or other bad consequences, as well as
damage to the instrument. Make sure that you understand the instructions and
precautions in the manual before use. We disclaim any responsibility for accidents or
injuries not resulted directly from instrument defects.
Safety Symbols
Description of symbols used in this manual.
DANGER
Indicates correct operation to prevent an extreme hazard that could
result in serious injury or other bad consequences to users.
WARNING
Indicates correct operation to prevent a significant hazard that could
result in serious injury or other bad consequences to users.
CAUTION
Indicates correct operation to prevent possible injury to users or damage
to the instrument.
NOTE
Indicates advisory items related to performance or correct operation of
the instrument.
1 To avoid electrical shock or fire, read these precautions first before using the unit:
2Except as explained in this manual, do not attempt to service this equipment yourself.
3Do not operate the DFT-6900 around explosive gas or vapor.
4Use only insulated load cables, and test leads as supplied with the DFT-6900
5Before use, inspect the DFT-6900, load cables, test leads and accessories for mechanical damage and replace when
damaged. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay special attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.
6Remove all clamps, test leads and accessories that are not in use.
7Do not apply input voltages above the rating of the instrument.
8Before use, check that the selected/indicated voltage ranges on the DFT-6900 matches the local line power voltage
and frequency.
9Proper installation is essential to the correct functioning of your analyzing software. If you have any questions
about installation, please contact us for assistance.
10 After testing battery, there is high temperature inside the main body of DFT-6900. Therefore, please keep the unit
powered on to evaporate the heat for at least 5 minutes. Do not shut down the unit right after testing. This is very
important ensure the good performance of all electronic parts inside the main body.
This manual describes the general installation and use of the test equipment. If your system has features or accessories
not addressed in this manual, please contact us.

Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Applications
DFT-6900 is a compact unit for daily maintenance of single cell, especially for old cells. It plays three roles: charge,
Discharge and activator, which will facilitate your maintenance for batteries. These three functions could be used
individually or comprehensively. When used comprehensively, lag-out battery will experience low-volt constant current
charging and discharging singly or in multi-circles (1~99). By activating the disabled active material on battery
electrode plate, it amends the battery malfunction caused by chemical failure and thus boosts the capacity of old battery.
Activation curve and certain parameters (e.g.: voltage and resistance) will display on screen as activation ends.
Battery activation is very significant for resources utilization and efficiency increasing. However, it is important to
know that not all weak batteries could be activated by DFT-6900. It can only amend the weak batteries whose bad
condition is caused by chemical malfunction instead of physical failure such as short-circuit of electrode plate.
1.2 Functions
●Charge, discharge, activation and curve indication functions:
The Tester will record the battery voltage and current curve trends during charging, discharging and activation. The
curve can be displayed after test. The right side of the screen shows the charge (discharge) curve, and the left side
shows the charge (discharge) or activation parameters, including: voltage (current) indicating, charge (discharge)
current, charge (discharge) cutoff voltage, test duration.
●Data Review
During the charging (discharging) or activating operation, after test interrupted for some reason, you can choose
whether to view the data. While viewing the data, press the left or right button to view related data and curve
trends.
●Data Management
This feature allows the user to manage the battery's measured data, including data uploads and curve playback.
●System Upgrade
This feature allows users to perform online software upgrades.
1.3 Characteristics
Using the latest online programmable CPU, users can use the microcomputer to update the instrument
software to continuously improve the performance of the instrument.
Modular structure, reasonable design and reliable operation.
Comprehensive measurement and accurate display of battery voltage, current, charge (discharge) and
activation results and waveforms.
Powerful, it can charge (discharge) the battery separately, and charge and discharge continuously for several
times (not more than 99 times).
English menu operation, easy to learn and use.
The data stored in Tester can be transferred to computer and managed by the PC software.
The PC data management software can analyze the data of battery charge (discharge) and activation, and

generate corresponding data reports.
1.4 Working Principle
The working principle of the Tester is to control the single-chip microcomputer by operating the keyboard, and LCD
displays the operation menu and test control results.
The Tester provide charge/Discharge and monitoring function, also user can save one set of curve for each battery
charge, separate discharge and battery activation, which greatly improves the user's use efficiency. The Tester USB
interface allows users to communicate with the computer via a U-disk. By transmitting the data to the PC, the battery
quality can be monitored for a long time. Through the analysis of the battery operating status data, various problems
which affect the battery quality can be found.
