    - “up” and “down” buttons navigate the cursor through the main menus vertically, and scroll the program set-up screen. - “dec” and “inc” buttons decrease or increase the parameter value or enter the program mode. And also, they navigate the cursor through the main menu horizontally. - “start/enter” ...

    - the circuit of the unit is designed to be powered by a 11-18v dc power supply, or 100- 240v ac power selectively. - the charger and the battery to charge or discharge should be set up on a head-resistant, non-inflammable and non-conductive surface. Never place them on a car seat, carpet or similar...

    There batteries need to adopt different charge technique which is termed constant current(cc) and constant voltage(cv) method. As the process starts, the cc phase will be committed first, in which the charging current is maintained at a constant level until the battery reaches their final charge vol...

    E6d will be operated with the default values of the initial settings which were done at the factory, when it is connected to a 12v dc battery or any similar input power source for the first time. The user can set these values at his/her own requirement. These set up data will be commonly applied thr...

    These programs are only suitable for charging and discharging lithium batteries with a nominal voltage of 3.3v,3.6v or 3.7v per cell. These batteries need to adopt different charge technique is termed constant voltage (cv) and constant current(cc) method. The charge current varies according to the b...

    - end current: set the final charging current at termination. The end current should be less than the initial charge current. (auto, 60-500ma) auto : the process will be terminated when the charging current go to 1/10 of its initial value. Otherwise the charge current will be decreased until the des...

    These programs are for charging, discharging or cycle nimh (nickel-metal-hydride) or nicd (nickel-cadmium)battery commonly used for r/c model applications. The charge current varies according to the battery capacity and performance. The type of battery which is either nimh or nicd must be correct fo...

    - delta-peak (delta-peak voltage sensitivity): set the delta-peak voltage sensitivity at termination. (disable, delicate, default, 5-20mv/cell) disable:the charger would not detect delta-peak voltage for termination. To terminate charging process, the charger will check the parameters set up at othe...
