PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THE FOLLOWING POINTS BEFORE YOU
AA The allowable DC input voltage is 11-18V DC. COMMENCE CHARGING:
AA The allowable AC input voltage is 100-240V AC. • Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery you
are charging?
AA Keep the charger away from dust, damp, rain, heat, direct sunlight and
excessive vibration. • Did you set up the adequate current for charging or discharging?
AA If the charger is dropped or suffers any type of impact, it should be inspected • Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired
by an authorized service station before using it again. in parallel and in series, i.e. a 2-cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in
series).
AA This charger and the battery should be put on a heat-resistant, non-
flammable and non-conductive surface. • Have you checked that all connections are firm and secure?
AA Never place a charger on a car seat, carpet or similar surface. Keep all • Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.

AA Make sure you know the specifications of the battery to be charged or
discharged to ensure it meets the requirements of this charger. If the
program is set up incorrectly, the battery and charger can be damaged.
AA Fire or explosion can occur due to overcharging.
AA To avoid a short circuit between the charge lead, always connect the charge
cable to the charger first, then connect the battery. Reverse the sequence
when disconnecting.

effectiveness, always match or exceed the main battery lead rating when
assembling or selecting your charging leads. If you charge a battery at a high
current rate (amperage) with a charging lead not rated for the chosen amperage,
the wire could get hot, catch fire, short out and/or potentially destroy your

to a low maintenance rate (trickle charge). From this point on, any further high standards:
current charging would cause overheating and eventual terminal damage to the
pack.
Final Discharge Voltage: The voltage at which the battery’s
discharge limit it reached. The chemical composition of the batteries determines
the level of this voltage. Below this voltage, the battery enters deep discharge
zone. Individual cells within the pack may become reverse polarized under these
conditions, resulting in permanent damage.
Nominal Voltage (V): The nominal voltage of the battery pack can be
determined as follows:
- NiCd or NiMH: Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 1.2. An 8-cell
pack will have a nominal voltage of 9.6 volts (8 x 1.2).
- LiPo: Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.7. A 3-cell LiPo wired in
series will have a nominal voltage of 11.1 volts (3 x 3.7).
4-cell LiHV wired in a series will have a nominal voltage of 14.8 volts. (4 x 3.7).
