Warnings and Safety Tips

The following safety tips are essentially important. Please strictly follow the manual's instructions in operation to guarantee safety. Improper operation or incorrect working parameter settings may cause damages to the charger and battery and/or result to a fire.

Do not use the charger in an unattended manner; in case of any functional abnormality, please stop using it and refer to the manual.
- Keep the charger away from dust, humidity, rain and high temperature, as well as avoid direct exposure to the sun and intense vibration.
Charger power input for the DC T6 / T6 Lite (8-32V), T8 (12-40V), make sure the polarities are correct when connecting to the power supply.
Please place the charger on a heat-resisting, non-flammable and insulating surface. Do not use it by placing it on the car's seats, carpet or other similar places. Keep inflammable and explosive objects away from operation areas of the charger.
Make sure the heat emission hole at the bottom of the charger is uncovered while in use, and ensure the cooling fan smoothly extracts heat.
Please fully understand the charging and discharging characteristics as well as the battery's specifications. Additionally, set up proper charging parameters in the charger. Incorrect setting of parameters can cause damage to the charger and battery and/or result to disastrous consequences such as fire or explosion.
- When charging or discharging is completed, please press the speed shuttle key to terminate current task, and remove the battery when the charger shows the standby screen.

Please be cautious when selecting the charging parameters for different types of batteries; otherwise, the batteries may be damaged. Incorrect setting can result to fire and/or explosion.

How to Confirm Charging Current

It is very important to know the maximum charging current of the battery as excessive current could influence the life span of battery and/or cause damages. In addition, excessive current can cause heating and/or explosion of the battery during the charging process.

The charging and discharging capacity of battery is usually marked with C value. Multiplying the charging C value and battery capacity equals to the maximum charging current supported by the battery. For example, for a 1000 mAh battery with a charging capacity of 5C, the maximum charging current would be 1000 × 5 = 5000 mA; therefore, the maximum charging current is 5A.

For a lithium battery, if it is impossible to confirm the supported charging C value, please set the charging current below 1C for the sake of its (lithium battery) safety.

The reference relation between C value and charging time: charging time ≥ 60 minutes/charging C value (it therefore needs around 60\~70 minutes to complete charging with 1C). Due to differences in battery conversion efficiency, the period to complete the charging might be extended.

T series charger will charge battery in series, make sure output port is connected. For lithium battery, in order to detect each cell's voltage and make sure battery is well balanced, we strongly suggest user to connect balance port to do balance charging. When try to do unbalanced charging, before starting charger will give you warning.

Storage function

While Select storage function, if battery voltage is lower than storage voltage, charger will perform charging task. If battery voltage is higher than storage voltage, charger will perform discharging function. While in charging and discharging, to save task time, charger will not do precise balancing.

When task finishes, there might be difference between setting voltage and real voltage. This is totally normal.

Task Setting

Over-discharging battery reactivate and repair function

Over-discharging battery reactivate and repair function

After charging task initiates, if battery voltage is lower than pre-charging voltage, charger will charge battery at 0.1A to reactivate and repair. After battery voltage is higher than pre-charging voltage, charger will charge battery as setting. This procedure can protect over-discharging battery then reactivate and repair

Resistance detection

Charger support resistance detection. This function can only be used while charger is doing balancing charging. After initiating charging task in 2\~3 minutes, charger can measure cell resistance. In different battery capacity, battery resistance is different. Generally speaking, higher the remaining capacity is, resistance is lower.

During resistance measurement, charger will adjust instantaneous current. So during charging if you find any sudden change of current, this is normal.

This value of resistance is not as precise as professional resistance meter. Resistance is only used for comparison for each cell. Also charging current influence resistance accuracy.

● Charging process complete.

During charging process, screen displays orange, after charging completion screen will change to green or blue. After charging completion, voltage difference between each cell is less than 20mV, screen will turn to green. If you are in hurry, it's good to stop the charging process. If keep charging, charger will continue balancing battery, if voltage difference is less than 10mV, screen will turn to blue. After that, charger will continue to precise balancing battery. If difference is small enough, after charging completion, charger jump to blue directly.

Due to the performance of different kinds of battery, after charging completion, voltage will fall a little. This is normal. For battery used for a lot of times, this will occur more often. Charging with higher current this circumstance would occur too.

Kind notice: For field charging, if you would like to do quick charging, when screen shows green it's ok to stop charging. If you would like to do precise charging, wait until blue.

Max input power: when PSU could not meet max operation power(1000w), to protect PSU and charger working stability, user should adjust this value based on PSU. Eg:PSU with 12V/10A, this should be set to 120W.

Min input voltage: While using battery as input, this can help you avoid over discharge input battery. When charger detects input voltage is less than Min input voltage, charger will stop any on-going task and warn too low input voltage. Eg: 6S LiPo battery as input, set 21v as Min input to avoid over discharge battery.

Beeper sound: When setting to off, this will mute operation sound, but won't mute warning alarm.

Troubleshoot

Error in power on self-testing: the charger can automatically carry out a self-testing when connected to a power supply. A self-testing error warning sound should be heard when the charger is connected to the battery; power on after removing the battery for 5 minutes.
Error for abnormal battery connection: pull out and plug in the battery again to ensure all connections are reliably contacted; if the error reminder continues, please check whether the metal parts on the battery interface are oxidized or burned resulting in unreliable connection.
Error for unstable power voltage: check whether the battery socket is reliably connected, and whether the power of electric supply can match the input requirement of the charger. If capacity of PSU is less than charger's Max power, please adjust the max input power to match the power of electric supply in the system fault menu of the charger.
