---- BALANCER MODE (Lithium types only)
Try it out with a LITHIUM battery pack which has the
proper Balance Connector attached. Attach the charger to an appropriate DC
power supply, and connect your battery pack's main and balance connectors
to charger as previously described.
Press the MODE button until
you reach the BALANCER Mode screen.
*Press DOWN once to reach the
SELECT VOLTAGE screen. This screen simply shows you a very accurate
voltage for each cell in the pack, in tum. You will see [lCL] at upper
right, and a voltage displayed below, to three decimal places; for
example: 3.982.
*Press ENTER to make the [lCL]
flash, and UP to see the voltage for the second cell, third cell, etc ...
*When you have seen the voltage for the last cell in the
pack, press DOWN to reach the next screen:
AVG. V shows the average
voltage per cell, across the whole pack.
V. GAP shows the difference
between the highest and lowest volt cells in the pack
*Press the DOWN button to reach the
next screen, which shows voltage for every cell in the pack to two decimal
places (e.g. 3.98).
Press ENTER for two seconds.
You will see BALANCE START / SOLO MODE - SYNC MODE
--- If you are using a single port only. Use UP or DOWN
to select SOLO MODE. Hold down the ENTER button,
the charger will check the battery, and then ask you to confirm the number
of cells in the pack. If correct, press ENTER once to start balance
charging.
--- If you are using both ports, and
want to balance two packs (of same type and capacity,) as a single unit -
such as 4S
VX3700 and 5S VX3700 to make a 9S series-connected flight
pack -hold down the ENTER and DOWN key to change
from SOLO MODE to SYNC MODE. Hold down the ENTER to start BATTERY CHECK.
The number of cells in each pack will be shown one above the other. If
both are correct, press ENTER to begin balancing.
After Balancing has begun, you may return (using UP or
DOWN keys) to the screen which shows all cell voltages together. Cells
which are higher in voltage will show the decimal
point alternating to a larger square shape, indicating that these cells
are being discharged, while the lower voltage cells are not. Hold down the
ENTER to stop balancing at any time.
NOTE!! SYNC MODE Charging (selected
in similar way to SYNC BALANCING above) is intended to be used only with
two packs of the same brand, capacity, type, and lifecycle history!
For example, two packs of LVX5000 4S lithium polymer purchased at the same
time and used together as a 8S flight pack in series when flying a
particular model. At the start of SYNC MODE charging, both packs
should be at roughly the same discharge state. Otherwise, you should SOLO
MODE charge each pack separately, and when both are done use SYNC MODE
balancing before connecting in series for flight.
---- USER SETUP (these
settings are "sticky" until you change them again)
Press the MODE button until
you reach the USER SETUP - TEMP MODE screen.
* Press ENTER and use UP
or DOWN keys to select temperature display in degrees Fahrenheit or
Celsius
Press DOWN to scroll through
the following screens, and ENTER then UP or DOWN to change settings on
each screen:
* BUTTON SOUND screen - ON or OFF
* FINISH SOUND TIME screen - OFF, ON
(continuous), 1 Minute, 15 Seconds, S Seconds
* FINISH SOUND MELODY screen -
Choices 1 to 10 (Will also play each Melody)
* POWER SUPPL Y VOLTAGE screen - Set
to limit max watts INPUT (primary for variable voltage PS units only)
* POWER SUPPLY CURRENT screen - Set
at the rated CURRENT (A) of your power source [set to 40A if car battery]
* POWER SHARING screen - Set the
shared power percentage for the two battery outputs (details below)
Power Supply Voltage and Current together comprise PS Load
Control. The EOS0610iDUOII is an extremely powerful charger, and can -
particularly when charging high-voltage packs at high rate settings - pull
more amperage than many power supplies can deliver. To avoid stressing
your PS and having charges terminated prematurely, you can tell the
charger the rating of your supply, to limit the load on the supply. If you
find the PS is still overloaded, reduce the setting for POWER SUPPLY
CURRENT until the problem goes away (or buy a stronger Power Supply
unit!).
BATTERY CHARGING - EXTENDED DETAIL
Consult the documentation or labels provided with your
battery to determine the correct capacity setting. It is very important to
get this right, as the charger uses the capacity setting to determine
nominal charge rate (amperage), TCS percentage, and safety termination.
Incorrect settings could damage the battery, and could even cause an
accident.
----- For Lithium types CAPACITY is selected in mAh.
Selection is in increments of 100mAh. CURRENT is set
in Ampere (at
CHG CURRENT screen), so divide mAh
by 1000 to get Amperage. For 700mAh, current is 0.7A for lC, up to l.4A
for 2C max.
For 1800mAh, 1.8A for lC, and 3.6A for 2C and so on. All
Hyperion LiPo packs are rated for safe 2C charging. Hyperion does not
support nor recommend ever charging Lithium Polymer at rates higher than
2C.
----- Lithium Polymer (3.7v) vs. Lithium Ion (3.6v)
Please make absolutely sure that you properly identify the
type of lithium battery you are charging, the capacity in mAh, and the
number of cells wired in series and the pack voltage! Lithium Ion (3.6v
nominal) should never exceed lC charge rate. Never charge Li Ion 3.6V
types by LIPO 3.7V charger mode!
----- A123 I LiFeP04 Cells: The
A123/LiFeP04 charge/discharge modes are intended for cells with 3.3V
nominal produced by A123 Company, or other-brand LiFeP04 cells which are
recognized to be of good quality from well-known makers. In MEMORY MODE,
choose A123 for BATT TYPE, for charging such cells. The A123 charge mode
MAY work with "no-name brand" LiFeP04 cells having 3.3V nominal voltage,
but Hyperion has found some "knock off" cells in the market of very
questionable quality.
Customers who use A123 mode (LiFeP04 mode) to charge such off-brand
cells assume all risk.
