5. Instruccions de funcionament
Intelligent 3-Level Charging Mode
The Dyness LiFePO4 charger utilizes an intelligent 3-level charging algorithm to optimize battery performance and longevity:
- Pre-charge (T1): Aquesta s inicialtage gently charges deeply discharged batteries, helping to restore them safely and extend their overall lifespan.
- Fast Charge (T2): Durant aquest stage, the charger delivers a constant current to rapidly charge the battery to approximately 80-90% of its capacity.
- Vol. Constanttage (T3): Al final stage, el carregador manté un volum constanttage while gradually reducing the current until the battery is fully charged. This ensures a safe and complete charge.
Figura 5: A graph illustrating the 3-stage charging process (Pre-charge, Fast Charge, Constant Voltage) with corresponding voltage and current curves over time.
0V Activation Function
The charger features a 0V activation function, allowing it to reactivate deeply discharged LiFePO4 batteries, even if their Battery Management System (BMS) has triggered protection. This function safely brings the battery back to a normal voltage level, making it usable again.
Figura 6: Depiction of the secure battery activation process, showing the charger's ability to reactivate LiFePO4 batteries after BMS protection has been triggered.
Estimació del temps de càrrega
The charging time will vary depending on the battery capacity and its current state of charge. Approximate charging times for common LiFePO4 battery capacities are:
- 100Ah LiFePO4 battery: Approximately 5 hours
- 200Ah LiFePO4 battery: Approximately 10 hours
- 300Ah LiFePO4 battery: Approximately 15 hours
Note: These times are estimates and may vary based on battery condition, ambient temperature, and other factors.

6. Manteniment
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Dyness LiFePO4 charger, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Neteja: Disconnect the charger from both AC power and the battery before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Emmagatzematge: Quan no l'utilitzeu, guardeu el carregador en un lloc fresc i sec, allunyat de la llum solar directa i de temperatures extremes.
- Ventilació: Regularly check that the ventilation openings are not blocked by dust or debris. The robust aluminum casing with an internal fan ensures optimal heat dissipation, but clear airflow is essential.
- Inspecció del cable: Periodically inspect the AC and DC cables for any signs of damage, fraying, or loose connections. Replace damaged cables immediately.
