This is programmed for charging and discharging Pb (lead-acid) battery of nominal
voltage from 2 to 36V. Pb batteries are totally different from NiCd or NiMH batteries.
They can only deliver relatively lower current compare to their capacity, and similar
restrictions definitely apply to charge. So the optimal charge current will be 1/10 of the
capacity. Pb batteries must not be charged rapidly. Always follow the instruction which
is supplied by the manufacturer of battery.
Set up the charge current on the left and the nominal
voltage of the battery on the right. The charge current
ranges from 0.1 to 12.0A and the voltage should be
matched with the battery being charged.
ENTER the charge process by pressing
‘ENTER/START’ button for more than 3 seconds.
The screen displays the state of charging process. To
stop charging forcibly, press ‘TYPE/STOP’ button
once.
