6. Operating Instructions: 4-Stage Kargatze-prozesua
The Unocho charger utilizes an intelligent 4-stage charging process to optimize battery performance and longevity:
Irudia: 4-en irudikapen bisualatage charging process and LED indicators.
- Stage 1: Pre-Charge
In this initial stage, the battery charger applies a small current to the battery if it detects a deeply discharged state. This process helps to safely recover the battery and extend its cycle life. (LED Indicators: LED 1 ON, LEDs 2-4 OFF)
- Stage 2: Karga masiboa
The charger delivers its maximum rated current to the battery until it reaches approximately 80% of its capacity. This is the fastest charging stage. (LED Indicators: LEDs 1-4 Blinking Sequentially)
- Stage 3: Constant Voltage (Xurgapena)
S. honetan zehartage, the battery charger limits the output voltage to 3.6V per cell (for a 4-cell LiFePO4 battery, this is 14.4V). The current gradually decreases as the battery continues to charge to its full capacity, preventing overheating and overcharging. (LED Indicators: LEDs 1-3 ON, LED 4 Blinking)
- Stage 4: Cut-Off (Float/Maintenance)
Once the battery is fully charged, the charger automatically cuts off the output. This allows the charger to remain connected to the battery indefinitely without risk of overcharging, providing a maintenance charge to keep the battery at optimal levels. (LED Indicators: LEDs 1-4 ON)
7. LED adierazleak
The charger features LED indicators to display the charging status and any potential faults:
- Power LED (gorria): Kargagailua korronte alternora konektatuta dagoenean pizten da.
- Charge Status LEDs (Green, 4 indicators): Represent battery charge levels (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%).
- LED 1 ON, LEDs 2-4 OFF: Aurrekargaktage.
- LEDs 1-4 Blinking Sequentially: Bulk Charge stage.
- LEDs 1-3 ON, LED 4 Blinking: Konstante Voltage (Absorption) stage.
- LEDs 1-4 ON (Solid): Battery fully charged, Cut-Off/Maintenance stage.
- Akatsen adierazlea: If all LEDs are flashing simultaneously, check for reversed polarity or other connection issues. Disconnect and reconnect the charger.
