5. Features
The VLE8 is an advanced charger, able to charge, balance and discharge rechargeable batteries. It is
microprocessor-controlled just like all the best chargers and will balance the individual cells in your Li-XX
batteries. It will charge from 0.1 to 5.0 A and is capable of charging packs up to 6S packs. It features input
voltage protection so as not to flatten your car battery at the field and will also storage charge your packs for
when you are not using them. You can power it with any power supply delivering from 11 to 18 V.
• microprocessor-controlled
• delta-peak sensitivity
• individual cell balancing
• supports: Li-ion, Li-poly, Li-Fe, NiCd, NiMH
• wide range of charge currents
• storage charge function
• time limit function
• input voltage monitoring (protects car batteries at the field)
• data storage (stores up to 5 packs in its memory)
• battery break-in and cycling
Special Features
Optimized operating software: The charger features an automatic function that sets the feeding current
during charging and discharging. Especially for lithium batteries, it can prevent from overcharging, which
may lead to an exploding battery. The function automatically disconnects the circuit and buzzes if the
malfunction is detected. All the settings are configurable by the user.
