Charging settings
After the power is turned on and the charger unlocked,
the screen will display the following.
1，Battery type setting
Long press [Voltage/Current] key to select battery
cut-off voltage (battery type), displayed as follows.
Different battery chemistries have different cutoff
voltages. Please refer to the following table as reference,

and verify with your battery manual:
4.20V
Lipo
4.35V
LiHv
3.85V

===================================
Important:
1, Ensure the correct battery type has been
selected prior to charging. An incorrect choice may
damage the battery and/or become a fire hazard.
Please use caution.
2, Do not use this product to charge non-compatible
battery chemistries.
===================================
Nomenclature:
1, Lipo: Often referred to as a lithium polymer
battery, a battery with a nominal voltage of 3.70V and
4.20V when fully charged.
2, LiHV: Often referred to as a high-voltage lithium
battery, a battery with a nominal voltage of 3.85V and
4.35V when fully charged.
3, LiFe: Often referred to as an iron-lithium battery, a
battery with a nominal voltage of 3.30V and 3.60V when
fully charged.
4, Lion: Often called a lithium-ion battery, a battery with
a nominal voltage of 3.60V and 4.10V when fully
charged.
===================================

2，Current setting
Short press [Voltage/Current] key to select the
charging current, the current can be selected from 4
values, 1.0A, 2.0A, 3.0A, 5.0A. The display is as follows.
===================================
Tips:
When selecting the current, it is
recommended to use a charging rate of 1C-2C. For
example: 1000mAh battery, use 1.0A-2.0A for charging;
This effectively improves the cycle life of the battery.
Always check the battery manufacturers guidelines and
charging instructions before charging.
===================================

Start charging
After setting the battery voltage and current,
connect the battery. After the charger detects that the
voltage between the main port and the balance port
matches, it will automatically start charging.
Display as follows:
Display content description:

20.5V：Input voltage.
35℃：Charger temperature.
4.20v：The selected cell type cutoff voltage
4.35v 3.85v 3.60v ： Other cell cutoff voltages (not
selected).

full.
888mAh：Accumulated capacity that has been charged.
1 4.000V: The first cell voltage, this cell is not balancing
24.001V: The second cell voltage, this cell is slowly
balancing
34.002V: The third cell voltage, this cell is slowly
balancing
44.005V: The fourth cell voltage, this cell is quickly
balancing
===================================
Tips:
When charging a 1S battery, the battery voltage
needs to be provided to the balance port at the same
time, so that the charger can recognize and start
charging.

Terminal voltage setting and
manual calibration
Before connecting to the power supply, press and
hold [Voltage/Current] key to enter the calibration mode,
as shown below:
Terminal volte: The terminal voltage after the battery is
fully charged. Accurate to +/- 10mV.
Calibration voltage: Battery calibration voltage, if the cell
voltage readings appear to be incorrect, use a
high-quality voltage meter to measure the actual
voltage, then set this value to be the same as the meter.
DEFAULT: Restore to factory default.
