3. Intended Use
The charger is used to charge and discharge rechargeable batteries of the type NiMH/NiCd
(1 - 15 cells), LiPo/LiIon/LiFe (1 - 6 cells) and lead acid batteries (1 - 10 cells, 2 V - 20 V).
There are 2 outputs that are independent of each other (charge/discharge channels), the opera-
tion of which takes place via a two-line lit LC display and four operating buttons each.
• Output #1:
The charge current can be set between 0.1 A and 10.0 A (depending on the cell number/
rechargeable battery voltage). The maximum charging power is 100 W.
The discharge current can be set between 0.1 A and 6.0 A (depending on the cell number/
rechargeable battery voltage). The maximum discharging power is 10 W.
• Output #2:
The charge current can be set between 0.1 A and 5.0 A (depending on the cell number/
rechargeable battery voltage). The maximum charging power is 50 W.
The discharge current can be set between 0.1 A and 2.0 A (depending on the cell number/
rechargeable battery voltage). The maximum discharging power is 5 W.
The combined total charging capacity for channels 1+2 is 100 W.
The charger also offers a connection for an external temperature sensor (not enclosed, can be
ordered as an accessory) for rechargeable-battery monitoring at each output. For multiple-cell
lithium rechargeable batteries, a balancer is integrated for each output (two matching external
XH-adapters are enclosed for rechargeable batteries with 2 - 6 cells).
The charger has an integrated mains unit to permit operation on mains voltage (100 - 240 V/AC,
50/60 Hz). The charger may, however, also be alternatively operated on a stabilised direct voltage
of 11 - 18 V/DC (e.g. via an external vehicle lead battery or a suitable mains adapter).
The safety notes and all other information in these operating instructions always have to be
