during the process of charging or discharging. Especially for lithium
batteries, it can prevent the overcharging which may lead to an
explosion. It can disconnect the circuit automatically and alarm once
detecting any malfunction. All the programs of this product were
controlled through two way linkage and communication, to achieve the
maximum safety and minimize the trouble. All the settings can be
configured by users!
Balancing Individual Cells For Battery Discharging
During the process of discharging, UP240AC Plus can monitor and
balance each cell of the battery individually. Error message will be
indicated and the process will be ended automatically if the voltage of
any single one cell is abnormal.
Adaptable to Various Type of Lithium Battery
UP240AC Plus is adaptable to various types of lithium batteries, such
as LiPo, LiIon and the new LiFe series of batteries.
Fast and Storage Mode of Lithium Battery
Purposes to charge lithium battery varies, 'fast' charge reduce the
duration of charging, whereas 'store' state can control the final voltage
of your battery, so as to store for a long time and protect useful time of
the battery.
Cyclic Charging/Discharging
1 to 5 cyclic and continuous process of charge>discharge or discharge
> charge is operable for battery refreshing and balancing to stimulate
the battery's activity.
Re-Peak Mode of NiMH/NiCD Battery
In re-peak charge mode, the charger can peak charge the battery
once, twice or three times in a row automatically. This is good for
making certain the battery is fully charged, and for checking how well
the battery receives fast charges.
SPECIAL FEATURES
6

Data Store/Load
The charger can store up to 10 different charge/discharge profiles for
your convenience. You can keep the data pertaining to program setting
of the battery of continuous charging or discharging. Users can call out
these data at any time without any special program setting.
Terminal Voltage Control(TVC)
The charger allows user to change the end voltage.
LiPo Battery Meter
The user can check battery's total voltage, the highest voltage, the
lowest voltage and each cell's voltage.
Maximum Safety
Delta-peak sensitivity for NiMH/NiCd battery: The automatic charge
termination program based on the principle of the Delta-peak voltage
detection. When the battery's voltage exceeds the threshold, the
process will be terminated automatically.
Automatic Charging Current Limit
You can set up the upper limit of the charging current when charging
your NiMH or NiCd battery, it is useful for the NiMH battery of low
impedance and capacity in the 'AUTO' charging mode.
Capacity Limit
The charging capacity is always calculated as the charging current
multiplied by time. If the charging capacity exceeds the limit, the
process will be terminated automatically when you set the maximum
value.
Temperature Threshold*
The battery's internal chemical reaction will cause the temperature of
the battery to rise. If the temperature limit is reached, the process will
be terminated.
*This function is available by connecting optional temperature probe,
which is not included in the package.
Processing Time Limit:
You can also limit the maximum process time to avoid any possible
defect.
SPECIAL FEATURES

Charging
During charge process, a specific quantity of electrical energy is fed
into the battery. The charge quantity is calculated by multiplying charge
current by charge time. The maximum permissible charge current
varies depending on the battery type or its performance, and can be
found in the information by the battery manufacturer. Only batteries
that are expressly stated to be capable of quickcharge are allowed to
be charged at rates higher than the standard charge current.
Connect the battery to the terminal of the charger: red is positive and
black is negative. Due to the difference between resistance of cable
and connector, the charger can not detect resistance of the battery
pack. The essential requirement for the charger to work properly is that
the charge lead should be of adequate conductor cross-section, and
high quality connectors which are normally goldplated should be fitted
to both ends.
Always refer to the manual by the battery manufacturer pertaining
to charging methods. Operate according to their recommended
charging current and charging time. lithium batteries, in particular,
should be charged strictly according to the manufacturer’s instruction.
Close attention should be paid to the connection of lithium batteries.
Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily.
Please get highlighted that lithium battery packs can be wired in
parallel and in series. In the parallel connection, the battery's capacity
is calculated by multiplying single the battery's capacity by the number
of cells, bearing in mind that total voltage stays the same. If the voltage
is imbalanced, it may cause a fire or explosion. Lithium batteries are
recommended to charge in series.
WARNING AND SAFTEY NOTE

Discharging
The main purpose of discharging is to clean the residual capacity of the
battery, or to reduce the battery' voltage to a defined level. The same
attention should be paid to the discharging process as the charging
process. The final discharge voltage should be set up correctly to avoid
deep discharging. Lithium batteries cannot be discharged to lower than
the minimum voltage, or it will cause a rapid loss of capacity or a total
failure. Generally, lithium batteries don't need to be discharged. Please
pay attention to the minimum voltage of lithium batteries to protect
them.
Some rechargeable batteries have a memory effect. If they are partly
used and recharged before the whole charge is accomplished, they
remember this and will only use that part of their capacity next time.
This is a 'memory effect' It is said that NiMH and NiCD batteries are
suffering from memory effect. NiCD has more ‘memory effect’ than
NiMH.
Lithium batteries are recommended to be discharged partially rather
than fully. Frequent full discharging should be avoided if possible.
Instead, charge the battery more often or use a battery of larger
capacity. Full capacity cannot be reached until it has been subjected to
10 or more charge cycles. The cyclic process of charge and discharge
will optimize the capacity of battery pack.
WARNING AND SAFTEY NOTE

supplies. You can connect the AC power cord directly to the main AC
socket (110V or 220V AC), or you can connect an external power supply
(12-18v) or 12v car battery to the DC input socket.
PLEASE NOTE: The charger MUST be powered before you connect a
battery to the charger, failure to have the charger powered up before
connecting a battery can cause charger failure if any connections are
incorrect. The charger must to be powered in order for it to recognize
an incorrect connection and warn you of this before you can go too far
and cause damage. If you get the warning “Reverse Polarity” you
MUST disconnect the battery immediately! Never remove power from
the charger first.
Before connecting any battery it is absolutely essential to check one
last time that you have set the charging parameters correctly. If the
settings are incorrect, the battery may be damaged, and could even
burst into flames or explode. Check that your wiring is correct polarity

These programs are only suitable for charging and discharging lithium
batteries with a nominal voltage of 3.7V, 3.3V and 3.6V per cell. These
batteries need to adopt different charge technique which is termed as
constant voltage(CV) and constant current(CC) method. The charge
current varies according to the battery capacity and performance. The
final voltage of charge process is also very important; it should be
precisely matched with the charge voltage of the battery. They are
4.2V for LiPo, 3.6 V for LiFe, and 4.1V for Lilon. The charge current
and nominal voltage as for cell count set on the charge program must
always be correct for the battery to be charged.
CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERY AT BALANCE MODE
This function is for balancing the voltage of lithium-polymer battery
cells while charging.
In the balance mode, the battery needs to connect to the battery's
power lead with balance wire.
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 control charging current
which is feeding to each cell to equalize the voltage.
Note: We recommend charging lithium batteries with a balance wire in
the balance mode only.
