Lixx Storage Charge Program - GM COMMANDER SPORT Instructions D'utilisation

15. LiXX storage charge program

Charging LiXX for storage:
When LiXX batteries are stored for a protracted period, they should neither be fully charged nor fully discharged, as both con-
ditions cause a loss in capacity, and may even ruin the packs. The STORAGE charge program provides the optimum means
of preparing batteries for storage: the packs are charged up to a cell voltage of 3.3 V for LiFe, 3.75 V for LiIo or 3.85 V for LiPo.
3 sec.
ATTENTION: if the balancer lead is not connected, the individual cells will not be balanced!
LiPo STORAGE:
Press the 'Batt. Type / Stop' button to move to the PROGRAM SELECT - LiPo BATT menu. Now press 'Start - Enter' for the 'LiPo
STORAGE' menu.
The default pre-set charge current and cell count are displayed on the screen. If you wish to change these settings, press 'Start
- Enter' again: the charge current starts to flash, and can now be changed using the DEC or INC button. Pressing the 'Start -

the values on the screen. If everything is correct, press the 'Start - Enter' button to initiate the charge process; if you need to
correct the values again, you can interrupt the process with 'Stop'.
To interrupt the charge process before it terminates automatically, press the 'Stop' button.
WARNING: it is absolutely essential to enter the correct charge current and cell count at this point, otherwise the
battery may be damaged or - worse - ignite or even explode!
If you press the INC button during the charge / discharge process, the screen will display the individual cell voltages of the
battery connected to the charger. Pressing the INC button again takes you back to the Charge display.
Note: if the voltage of one cell differs substantially from the others during the charge / discharge process, the screen displays the
warning BATTERY VOL ERROR, and the charger halts the process; the screen also shows the CELL LOW VOL alert (= low cell
voltage). Pressing the INC button again at this point takes you to a display of the individual cell voltages, where you can see that
the voltage of cell 3 is too low, and the balancer is unable to correct it. If this should happen, your battery needs to be checked.
