This is the Trinity I-Balance Battery Manager/Charger, which offers all-in-one charging, discharging, and balancing for not just LiPo’s but Ni-CD, Ni-MH, Li-Ion, Li-Fe, and even PB (lead acid) batteries. The I-Balance uses a unique individual cell voltage balancer, which means that an external balancer when charging LiPo’s is not required. Other features include delta-peak detection, “fast charge” mode, auto charge current limit, capacity limit, 5-slot data storage/recall, temp monitoring, cycling, LCD display, and touch pad keyboard. You can also manage your packs with a PC through the optional USB interface cable (sold separately).

The I-Balance features an AUTO function that sets the 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 incorrect setting. I-Balance can disconnect the circuit automatically and alarm once detecting any malfunction.

I-Balance employs an individual-cell-voltage balancer. It isn't necessary to connect an external balancer for balance charging. During the process of discharging, I-Balance can monitor and balance each cell of the battery pack individually. Error messages will be indicated and the process will be ended automatically if the voltage of any single one cell is abnormal.

I-Balance is adaptable to various types of Lithium batteries, such as Li-ion, Li Po and the new Li-Fe series of batteries. Fast and storage mode for lithium batteries. 'Fast' charge reduces the duration of charging, while 'Store' state can control the final voltage of your battery, to store for a long time and protect useful life time of the battery.

Features

  • Charges, Discharges and Balances
  • For Li-Po, Ni-CD, Ni-MH, Li-Ion and PB Batteries
  • AC Power Supply Built In
  • Touch Pad Keyboard

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 Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery; especially useful for Ni-MH batteries of low impedance and capacity whenusing 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.

Data store/load
A maximum of 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 this data at any time without any special program setting.

Cyclic charging/discharging
1 to 5 cyclic and continuous process of charge>discharge or discharge>charge for battery refreshing and balancing to stimulate the battery's activity.
