Connection Diagram - Velleman VLE8 Mode D'emploi

Internal, independent lithium battery balancer: The charger features an individual cell-voltage balancer,
which makes it unnecessary to use an external balancer for balance charging.
Individual cell balancing during discharging: During discharging, the charger will individually monitor and
balance each cell in the battery. When the voltage of any cell is deemed abnormal, an error message will be
displayed and the discharging process will end automatically.
Adaptable to various types of lithium batteries: The charger is suitable for various types of lithium
batteries, such as Li-ion, Li-poly and Li-Fe.
Fast and storage modes for lithium batteries: The charger features special functions to suit various
purposes: the fast charge mode considerably reduces the charge duration whereas the storage mode keeps
the battery at an ideal storage voltage.
PC-based analysis via USB: The charger offers a PC-based function in order to analyse the battery's
characteristics. The function features a voltage, current and capacity graph, and also shows each cell's
voltage for lithium batteries. The USB adapter is available separately.
Maximum safety: The automatic charge termination programme is based on the principle of the delta-peak
voltage detection: when the battery's voltage exceeds the threshold, the process ends automatically.
Automatic charging current limit: Charging NiCd and NiMH batteries can be set with the charging current
upper limit. It is useful batteries with low impedance and capacity when charging them in auto mode.
Capacity limit: The charging capacity is always calculated as the charging current multiplied by the time. If
the charging capacity exceeds the limit, the process will be terminated automatically when setting the
maximum value.
Temperature threshold: The battery's internal chemical reaction will cause the battery's temperature to rise.
If the temperature limit is reached, the process will be terminated. Only available with optional temperature
probe.
Processing time limit: The charger can be set with a maximum process time to avoid any possible effect.
Data storage and loading: The charger has a data memory bank for maximum five batteries. Different
programmes can be stored and loaded for your convenience.
Cyclic charging and discharging: To stimulate the battery's activity, one to five cyclic and continuous
charge-to-discharge or discharge-to-charge programmes are available for battery refreshing and balancing.

Connection Diagram

Please connect your battery and charger as
follows when using the balance charge mode.
The main battery must be connected with the
balance lead connector before charging.
Failure to do so will damage the charger!
