4.3 STORAGE
Besides (dis)charge mode, STORAGE working mode is also available. If batteries will not be used for
a long time, this mode can be used to (dis)charge them to the best storage status. That is, 3.8V for
standard 1S battery.
When this mode is enabled, CB86-PLUS will automatically charge or discharge all batteries
connected to 3.8V per cell one by one. If the voltage of any battery cell is higher than 3.8V, the
charger will automatically discharge it to 3.8V. If the voltage of any battery cell is lower than 3.8V, the
charger will automatically charge it to 3.8V. The charging current can be set, but the discharging
current is 1.2A by default.
Setting method: The setting method of storage voltage is the same as that of charging voltage, please
refer to page 14,
charging voltage setting method
.
4.4 Repair charge
But when the voltage of any cell connected to the charger is lower than 3.0V, CB86-PLUS will
automatically recognize that the battery has been over-discharged, and automatically trigger Repair
charge mode. The charger screen will display blue "Repair Charge"at this time, which is also called
trickle charge, as shown in the picture below. The current during repair process is 10% of the current
battery voltage, and the minimum is 300mA. In the repair mode, no matter how much charging current
you set, the charger will repair it according to the small current in the repair mode. It won't start to
charge normally according to the charging current you set until the voltage of the over-discharged cell
rises above 3.0V.
Note: Repair charge mode will be activated only when the voltage of any cell connected to the charger
is lower than 3.0V. If the voltage of all cells is higher than 3.0V, this mode won't be activated.
