SPECIAL FEATURES
SPECIAL FEATURES
Optimized operating software
B6 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!
Internal independent lithium battery balancer
B6 employs an individual-cell-voltage balancer. It isn’t necessary to connect an external
balancer for balance charging.
Balancing individual cells battery discharging
During the process of discharging, B6 can monitor and balance each cell of the battery
individually. 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
B6 is adaptable to various types of Lithium batteries, such as Li-ion, LiPo and the new LiFe
series of 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.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Maximum safety
Delta-peak sensitivity: 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.
Automatic charging current limit
You can set up the upper limit of the charging current when charging your NiCd or NiMH battery;
it is useful for the NiMH battery of low impedance and capacity in the 'AUTO' charging mode.
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.
Temperature threshold*
The battery’s internal chemical reaction will cause the temperature of the battery to rise. If the
temperature limit is reached, the process will be terminated.
* This function is available by connecting optional temperature probe, which is not included in
our package.
Processing time limit:
You can also limit the maximum process time to avoid any possible defect.
Input power monitoring
To protect the car battery used as DC input power from being damaged, its voltage keeps being
monitored. If it drops below the lower limit, the process will be ended automatically.
Data store/load
The maximum five batteries’data can be stored for users’convenience. You can keep the data
pertaining to program setting of the battery of continuous charging or discharging. Users can
call out these data at any time without any special program setting.
03
SPECIAL FEATURES
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.
