How I Charger Works

After setting up the desired battery pack chemistry (Life, Lion,

LiPo) via a small slider switch, you simply connect a 12 volt power

supply to the I Charger.

Once power is applied the charger will:

1) Automatically enter a battery precondition mode where it tests

the battery voltage. If the battery voltage is low the charge current

is reduced to 15% of the programmed maximum and applied until

battery voltage reaches 70% of expected fully charged float volt-

age.

2) Once the battery voltage reaches 70% of the expected fully

charged float voltage I Charger automatically increases maximum

charge current to the full charge value (up to 2A).

3) I Charge will then charge the battery pack at full current

(up to 2A) until expected fully charged float voltage is reached.

4) At reaching expected fully charged float voltage, I Charge

reduces high charge current proportionally as the battery internal

resistance increases.

How I Charger Works

5) At 90% of capacity (C/10) the battery charge algorithm enters a

trickle charge state and will stay in the trickle charge state for up

to 3 hours. This allows a battery charge state to reach the 100%

capacity. NOTE: Most hobby chargers end at 90 - 95 % of actual

battery capacity. I Charger will take the capacity all the way to

100%.

6) If less than 97.5% of capacity is reached after the 3 hour period

then I Charger re-initiates, and charging continues for another full

cycle. This means you are guaranteed to know that your battery is

fully charged 100% at all times as long as power is connected for

the appropriate amount of time.

7) As long as power is supplied to the charger the I Charger will

monitor the battery voltage and if the battery voltage falls below

2.5% of the fully charged float voltage the charge cycle will start

again. This means you can leave I Charger theoretically connected

and permanently powered on to keep the battery topped up.

PLEASE NOTE: While we have designed I Charger with the up-

most in safety a permanent power connection is not advised.

Also some battery chemistries do not react well to having a

100% charge all the time.
