When using peak charge mode, you sometimes need to set the long lockout (locks charger from delta peak cutoffs, but not from temperature or capaicty cutoffs). A battery can initially be unstable if has been trayed or dead-shorted, or if it has been stored for a little while.
To set the long lockout time, access the main menu by holding down "<". I set mine at 15-20min. By that time, even a dead-shorted battery will have stabilized to the incoming current. To activate the lockout, hold down "<" after starting the charge until you see the "key" symbol.
The CTX charge is already locked against peak detect for the first two phases, so setting long lockout is never neccessary.
