A) General Information - VOLTCRAFT VC-1506 Bedienungsanleitung

a) general information

This charge-/discharge program is only suited for accumulators with Lithium technology, „LiPo", „LiIon" and „LiFe".
If the accumulator has a balancer connection, the balancer accumulator connector as well as the connection cable
of the accumulator must be connected when charging/discharging.
Use the correct balancer connector depending on the number of cells.
There are different types of balancer plug. For this reason, do not use force if the plug does not fit! Suitable adap-
ters are available to purchase for the balancer plug.
+
When using a balancer (integrated in the charger), all cells have the same voltage after the charge
process, which prevents the overcharging of individual cells.
Overloading a cell in a LiPo accumulator does not only reduce the accumulator's life, but also runs the
risk of having the accumulator explode and creates a danger of fire and explosion!
The charge current to be set depends on the accumulator capacity and is usually 1C. However, you should take the
accumulator manufacturer's instructions into account.
The value „1C" means that the charging current is equivalent to the accumulator's capacity. As such, a charge cur-
rent of 1.8A should be set for a 1800mAh LiPo accumulator at 1C.
The maximum charging voltage is just as important as the charging current. This is 4.2 V per cell for LiPo batteries,
4.1 V for LiIon batteries and 3.6 V for LiFe batteries.
Depending on the accumulator type selected in the „User" settings, the display shows „LiPo", „LiIo" or „LiFe".
Check whether the accumulator type indicated on the display coincides with the accumulator you want to charge/
discharge.
afterwards, you can select the different functions with the buttons „+>" and „
• „CHARGE": Charge lithium accumulator without balancer connection
• „BALANCE": Charge lithium accumulator with balancer connection
• „FAST CHG": Fast accumulator charging
• „STORAGE": Charging or discharging batteries for storage at a certain voltage value
• „DISCHARGE": Discharging the accumulator
In the main menu, select the accumulator program with the button
„Batt Type/Stop" confirm your selection with „Start/Enter".
