Fast Charge („Fast Chg") - VOLTCRAFT VC-1506 Notice D'emploi

d) fast charge („fast Chg")
When charging a Lithium accumulator, the charge current becomes increasingly lower the fuller the accumulator due
to the applied charge procedure for lithium accumulators. Of course, this also increases the charging time.
A special charging procedure achieves a higher charge current with fast charging. However, this reduces the capaci-
ty, because the charge process is terminated earlier due to the safety cutoff in the charger.
With fast charging the charging procedure is cut short when the charging current has reached 20% of the initial
value. Normal charging is not ended until the charging current has sunk to 10% of the initial value. This means, a
LiPo accumulator, for example, cannot be fully charged using the quick charge function. Only approx. 90% of the
capacity achievable with the normal charge process are available.

Therefore, quick charging only makes sense if the accumulator is supposed to be available gain as fast
as possible.

The procedure of setting the charge current and the voltage/cell
count is the same as with the normal charge process (see chapter
11b).
If a multi-cell accumulator is connected via the balancer connec-
tions, you can switch between the normal display and the display
of the cell voltages during the charge process with the „+>" but-
ton.
