Fast Charge ("Fast Chg"); Storing Batteries ("Storage") - VOLTCRAFT B6 Duo Notice D'emploi

d) Fast Charge ("FAST CHG")
When charging a Lithium battery, the charge current becomes increasingly lower the fuller
the battery due to the applied charge procedure for lithium batteries. Of course, this also
increases the charging time.
A special charging procedure achieves a higher charge current in fast charging. However,
this reduces the capacity, because the charge process is terminated earlier due to the
safety cut-off in the charger.
This means that a LiPo, LiIon or LiFe battery cannot be fully charged using the quick
charge function. Only approx. 90% of the capacity achievable with the normal charge
process is available.
Therefore, fast charging is only wise if the battery has to be used again as quickly 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 11. b).
e) Storing Batteries ("STORAGE")
This function can be used to set the battery to a certain voltage level, which is regarded as
ideal for storage (LiPo = 3.85 V, LiIon = 3.75 V, LiFe = 3.3 V).
Depending on the cell voltage, the battery is either charged or discharged. Of course, with
a multi-cell battery pack, this is only wise if a balancer connection is available.
The procedure of setting the current and the voltage/cell count is the same as with the
normal charge process (see chapter 11. b).
The set current is used for charging/discharging.
