Charging
A specific quantity of electrical energy is fed into the battery during
charge process. The charge quantity is calculated by multiplying
charge current by charge time. The maximum permissible charge
current varies according to the battery type or its performance,
and can be found in the information provided by the battery
manufacturer.
It is only allowed to charge batteries at rates higher than the
standard charge current, if they are expressly stated to be capable of
quick-charge.
• Connect the battery to charge to the output terminal of the
charger using suitable charging lead. They are red, positive
(+) and black, negative (-). Since the charger cannot detect the
difference between the internal resistance of the battery pack,
cable resistance and connector transfer resistance, the first
requirement if the charger to work properly is, that the charge
lead should be of adequate conductor cross-section. And also
high-quality connectors (normally gold-contact type) must be
fitted to both ends.
• Refer to the information provided by the battery manufacturer
regarding charging methods, and verify the recommended
charge current and charge time. Especially for Lithium
batteries, you have to follow the charge instruction provided
by the manufacturer strictly.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily.
• You have to pay attention to verify the capacity and the
voltage of the Lithium battery pack. It may be composed
of parallel and series connection mixed. In parallel link the
capacity of the battery pack is multiplied by the number
of cells but the voltage remains same. That kind of voltage
imbalance causes a fire or explosion during charge process.
We recommend you compose the Lithium battery pack in
series only.

Discharge
The typical purpose of discharge is to determine the residual capacity
of the battery, or to lower the voltage of battery to a defined level.
When you discharge the battery you also have to pay attention on
the process same as charging. To avoid the battery becoming deep-
discharged, set the final discharge voltage correctly. Lithium batteries
should not be deep-discharged to lower than the minimum voltage, as
this leads to a rapid loss of capacity or a total failure. Generally, you
do not need to discharge Lithium battery voluntarily.
• Some rechargeable batteries are said to have a memory
effect. If they are partly used and recharged before the whole
charge is drawn out, they 'remember' this and next time will
only use that part of their capacity. This is a 'memory effect'.
NiCd and NiMH batteries are said to suffer from memory
effect. They prefer complete cycles; fully charge then use
until empty, do not recharge before storage-allow them to
self-discharge during storage.
NiMH batteries have less memory effect than NiCd.
• The Lithium battery prefers a partial rather than a full
discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided if
possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a
larger battery.
• The brand-new NiCd battery pack is partially useful with its
capacity until it has been subjected to 10 or more charge
cycles in any case. The cyclic process of charge and discharge
will lead to optimize the capacity of battery pack.
Those warnings and safety notes are particularly important.
Please follow the instructions for a maximum safety;
otherwise the charger and the battery can be damaged
violently. And also it can cause a fire to injure a human body
or to lose the property.
