This is programmed for charging Pb (lead-acid) battery with nominal voltage from 2 to 20V. 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 is supplied by the manufacturer of battery.
When you are willing to alter the parameter value in the program, press key to make it blink
then change the value with or key. The value will be stored by pressing key
once.
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 5.0A and the voltage should be
matched with the battery being charged.
Start the charge process by pressing key for more
than 3 seconds.
The screen displays the state of charging process. To stop
charging forcibly, press key once.
The audible sound indicates you at the end of process.

Set discharge current on the left and final voltage on the
right. The discharge current ranges from 0.1 to 1.0A.
To start the process, press key for more than 3
seconds.
The screen displays the current state of discharge. You
can alter the discharge current by pressing key during
the process. Once you change the current value, store it
by pressing button again.
To stop discharging press key once. The audible
sound indicates you at the end of process.
