4. Charge settings
Before the charge process is started, the charge
current and the cell count must be set correctly
on the battery charger itself.
The maximum charge current which the Top
Equalizer can process is 10 Amps.
5. Charge / equalize procedure
• By connecting the charge lead and the voltage
sensor lead you switch the unit to "Stand-
alone mode". Press the "Mode" button to
complete the connection to the charger. The
"monitor LED" now responds with a series of
single rhythmic flashes to indicate that "Con-
nection mode" is invoked.
• Start the charge process on the battery
charger.
• The Equalizer now measures the voltage of
the individual cells. If the cell voltages differ,
the unit reduces the charge current fed to the
cell(s) whose voltage is higher. It continues to
do this over the course of the charge process,
thereby equalizing the pack, i.e. bringing the
voltage of the individual cells to the same
level.
• To indicate which cell is currently being pro-
cessed by the Top Equalizer, the "monitor
LED" assigned to that cell glows.
• The LED may light up briefly or for a longer
time in accordance with the magnitude of the
cell voltage difference.
6. Charge termination
• The battery charger switches off the charge
process when the battery reaches the pre-set
final charge voltage.
• In most cases the cells are equalized accura-
tely while the charge process is under way. If
this is the case, you will see that the monitor
LEDs only flash sporadically.
The charging and equalizing process is now
complete.
• The Lithium battery should be disconnected
from the Top Equalizer soon after the charge
process is terminated. If you do not do this,
the unit will continue to equalize the cells, and
in so doing discharges them slightly.
Operating Instructions
Top Equalizer 6S 300mA
7. Description of the equalizing process and
the Check-LED indicators
The flashing rhythm of the monitor LEDs is a
guide to the voltage of the cells in the pack.
LED off:
Cell with the lowest voltage in the pack.
LED flashing:
Cell voltage differs only slightly from the cell
with the lowest voltage.
LED lights up for a long time, or continuously:
Cell voltage differs significantly from that of the
lowest cell.
• After the charge process has been terminated
it is possible that individual monitor LEDs will
continue to flash sporadically, but this will only
occur if the battery is a high-capacity type,
and / or if the cells in the pack exhibit signifi-
cant voltage differences. If you switch the Top
Equalizer to "Stand-alone mode" (by pressing
the Mode button), the battery can be left con-
nected to the unit. In this mode the unit conti-
nues to equalize (balance) the pack by disch-
arging the individual cells as required.
• In extreme cases - defective cell, very high
battery capacity, substantial voltage diffe-
rence between individual cells - the equalizing
function may not reach a conclusion even in
Stand-alone mode. If this should occur, the
Top Equalizer will prevent the cells becoming
deep-discharged by switching automatically
to current-saving mode when any one cell falls
to 2.75 Volts (LiPo) or 2.35 Volts (LiFe). In this
case the battery should be recharged again as
soon as possible.
Note:
If the monitor LED glows for a long time or con-
tinuously, you should switch to Stand-alone
mode, as the Equalizer only switches to cur-
rent-saving mode when the battery is fully
balanced if set to this mode.
