12. CONNECtING a BattEry

!
Important!!! Before connecting a battery pack, check one
last time that all the set parameters are correct! If the settings are
incorrect, the battery may be damaged, explode, or catch fire. To
avoid short-circuits between the banana plugs, always connect the
charge leads to the battery charger first, and only then to the battery.
Take care to maintain correct polarity!
Reverse the sequence when disconnecting.
Connecting the equalizer:
The black wire of the voltage sensor lead attached to the Lithium
battery must be connected to the charger at the arrow marking. The
arrow indicates the negative terminal. Take care to maintain correct
polarity!
This example is only intended as a general guide; it shows how to
connect the voltage sensor lead to the equalizer.
Note:

charger before charging or discharging a Lithium battery. This
is a safety requirement! Double-cell LiXX batteries without Volt-
age Sensor cable can be charged without Equalizer.
Do not connect the outputs in parallel, and never connect the
positive and negative terminals together. Neglecting this war-
ning will result in damage to the charger.
13. StartING a CHarGE / DISCHarGE PrOCESS
Before the programmed process is started, the battery must be con-
nected to Output 1 or 2 with correct polarity (see chapter 5.2). Use
the appropriate charge lead from the comprehensive robbe range.
The process is actually started by pressing the "START / ENT." but-
ton: you will hear a confirmation beep. This means that the charger
is checking the battery connected to it; the screen informs you of
this.

If no battery is connected, you will see an on-screen warning of the
error, and hear a warning beep.
Note: Lithium batteries must always be charged with the Voltage

Once the process has started, the screen changes to the working
display, which shows all the important values relating to the cur-
rent process. The illustration below shows the working display for
a LiPo battery charge process. The working display is divided into
two screens.
Pressing the "START / ENT." button takes you to a display of the
voltage curve. If you are charging a Lithium battery, pressing the
"START / ENT." button a second time takes you to the Equalizer
display. Press the "START / ENT." button once more to return.
The displayed value for internal resistance is automatically calcu-
lated by the Power Peak
Note:
It is possible to alter the current during a charge / discharge
process: navigate to the "CURRENT" function by pressing the
"START / ENT." button, then change the current using the "+" or
"-" buttons. The new value applies only to the current process, and
is not saved.
During a cycle process the working display also looks similar. The
screen displays "CYCLE" while the battery is being checked. The
illustration shows the upper part of the screen display during a
cycle, in this case while a battery is being charged.
When the charger is connected to the mains, i.e. the internal PSU
is in use as power supply, the "Input voltage" parameter shows a
value of 17.4 V.
In addition to all the current process parameters, the screen dis-
plays the mode, the current phase and the cycle sequence. During
each phase the corresponding symbol flashes (D = Discharge, C
LiPo = Charge).
