SPECIAL FEATURES
Re-Peak Mode of NiMH/NiCd Battery
In re-peak charge mode, the charger can peak charge the battery once, twice or three times in a
row automatically. This is good for making certain the battery is fully charged.
Delta-peak Sensitivity for NiMH/NiCd
Delta-peak sensitivity for NiMH/NiCd battery:The automatic charge termination program based
on the principle of the Delta-peak voltage detection. When the battery’s voltage exceeds the
threshold, the process will be terminated automatically.
Cyclic Charging/Discharging
1 to 5 cyclic and continuous process of charge > discharge or discharge > charge is operable for
battery refreshing and balancing to stimulate the battery’s activity.
Automatic Charging Current Limit
You can set up the upper limit of the charging current when charging your NiMH or NiCd
battery, it is useful for the NiMH battery of low impedance and capacity in the ‘AUTO’ charging
mode.
Battery Meter
The user can check battery voltage and battery internal resistance.
Capacity Limit
The charging capacity is always calculated as the charging current multiplied by time. If the
charging capacity exceeds the limit, the process will be terminated automatically when you set
the maximum value.
Processing Time Limit:
You can also limit the maximum process time to avoid any possible defect.
DC Power Supply
Your A680 can supply DC power up to 60 Watts. You can use it to power devices that require
DC power.
Optimized Operating Software
A680 features the so-called AUTO function that set the feeding current during the process of
charging or discharging. Especially for lithium batteries, it can prevent the overcharging which
may lead to an explosion due to the user’s fault. It can disconnect the circuit automatically and
alarm once detecting any malfunction.All the programs of this product were controlled through
two-way linkage and communication, to achieve the maximum safety and minimize the trouble.
All the settings can be configured by users!
Battery Memory (Data Store/Load)
The charger can store up to 10 different charge/discharge profiles for your convenience.You can
keep the data pertaining to program setting of the battery of continuous charging or discharg-
ing. Users can call out these data at any time without any special program setting.
PB AGM and Cold Charge
For PB battery, A680 adds AGM and cold charge modes. It can charge AGM battery, and Pb
battery can be charged in cold charge mode in cold days.
Terminal Voltage Control (TVC)
The charger allows user to change the end voltage. (for expert user only)
Internal Independent Lithium Battery Balancer
A680 employs an individual-cell-voltage balancer. It isn’t necessary to connect an external bal-
ancer for balance charging.
Balancing Individual Cells Battery Discharging
During the process of discharging, A680 can monitor and balance each cell of the battery in-
dividually. Error message will be indicated, and the process will be ended automatically if the
voltage of any single one cell is abnormal.
Adaptable to Various Type of Lithium Battery
A680 is adaptable to various types of lithium batteries, such as LiPo, Lilon, LiFe and the new
LiHV batteries.
Fast and Storage Mode of Lithium Battery
Purposes to charge lithium battery varies, ‘fast’ charge reduce the duration of charging, whereas
‘store’ state can control the final voltage of your battery, so as to store for a long time and
protect useful time of the battery.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTE
These warnings and safety notes are particularly important. Please follow the instructions for
maximum safety; otherwise the charger and the battery can be damaged or at worst it can
cause a fire.
! Never leave the charger unattended when it is connected to its power supply. If any malfunc-
tion is found, TERMINATE THE PROCESS AT ONCE and refer to the operation manual.
! Keep the charger well away from dust, damp, rain, heat, direct sunshine and vibration. Never
drop it.
! The allowable AC input voltage is 100-240V AC and DC 11-18V.
! This charger and the battery should be put on a heat-resistant, noninflammable and noncon-
ductive surface. Never place them on a car seat, carpet or similar. Keep all the inflammable
volatile materials away from operating area.
! Make sure you know the specifications of the battery to be charged or discharged to ensure
it meets the requirements of this charger. If the program is set up incorrectly, the battery and
charger may be damaged and can cause fire or explosion due to overcharging.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
!Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries:
A battery pack which consists of different types of cells (including different manufacturers).
A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly discharged.
Non-rechargeable batteries (explosion hazard).
Batteries that require a different charge technique from NiCd, NiMh, LiPo or Gel cell (Pb,
Lead acid).
A faulty or damaged battery.A battery fitted with an integral charge circuit or a protection
circuit.
Batteries installed in a device or which are electrically linked to other components.
Batteries that are not expressly stated by the manufacturer to be suitable for the currents
the charger delivers during the charge process.
!Please bear in mind the following points before commencing charging: Did you
select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery you are charging?
Did you set up the adequate current for charging or discharging?
Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and
in series, i.e. a 2 cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in series).
Have you checked that all connections are firm and secure?
Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.
!Charging
During charge process, a specific quantity of electrical energy is fed into the battery.The
charge quantity is calculated by multiplying charge current by charge time. The maximum
permissible charge current varies depending on the battery type or its performance and
can be found in the information by the battery manufacturer. Only batteries that are
expressly stated to be capable of quick charge can be charged at rates higher than the
standard charge current.
Connect the battery to the terminal of the charger: red is positive and black is negative.
Due to the difference between resistance of cable and connector, the charger can not
detect resistance of the battery pack, the essential requirement for the charger to work
properly is that the charge lead should be of adequate conductor cross-selection, and high
quality connectors which are normally gold-plated should be fitted to both ends.
Always refer to the manual by the battery manufacturer about charging methods, rec-
ommended charging current and charging time. Especially, the lithium battery should be
charged according to the charging instruction provided by the manufacturer strictly.
