C) Charging Batteries With Balancer Connection ("Balance") - VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 300 TOUCH Handbuch

c) Charging batteries with balancer connection ("BALANCE")

In contrast to the simple rechargeable battery programme "CHARGE" (see chapter 10. b), the
rechargeable battery programme "BALANCE" monitors the voltage of every single cell of a
multiple-cell rechargeable lithium battery and corrects it accordingly if there are any deviations.
Besides the two normal rechargeable battery connections (plus/+ and minus/-), the balancer
connector for the rechargeable battery must also be connected to the charger via the enclosed
balancer board.
There are different types of balancer plug. Therefore, do not apply any force if the
plug does not fit! in the charger or the balancer board! The matching adapters for the
balancer plugs are available as accessories.
If you use self-customised rechargeable batteries, the balancer plug must be correctly
assigned.
The black cable is the minus pole of the first cell. The next connection pin is the plus
pole of the first cell; the respective next connection pin is the plus pole of the second,
third, fourth, fifth and sixth cell (depending on cell number).
The last connection pin of the balancer plug of the rechargeable battery therefore is the
plus pole of the last cell. Therefore, the same voltage can be measured between the two
outer pins of the balancer plug as at the two rechargeable battery connections directly.
The remaining procedure for charging is described in chapter 10. b).
If a lithium rechargeable battery with
balancer plug is connected to the
charger, you can switch to the display
of the individual cell voltages during the
charging process.
The overall voltage ("MAIN") is displayed.
The button "BACK" will return you to the
previous view.
