FEATURES

Congratulations on purchasing your new LI5000 Universal Battery Charger.

You can quickly and safely charge Li-ion and NiCd/NiMH rechargeable batteries or your portable USB powered devices.

The LI5000 is a fast universal charger for battery packs used in digital cameras, video cameras, mobile phones, AA/AAA, and other devices using rechargeable batteries. With the help of an adjustable contact set, the LI5000 is able to charge nearly all common Li-ion and NiCd/NiMH rechargeable batteries. In addition, the unit is also able to power and charge USB devices through its USB output port.

• Compatible with digital camera, video camera, and mobile phone lithium ion batteries.

• Universal design for 3.6V/3.7V, 7.2V/7.4V Li-ion battery packs.

• Charges 2.4V, 3.6V, 4.8V, 6.0V and 7.2V NiCd/NiMH battery packs.

• Fast charging for one or two AA/AAA size NiCd/NiMH rechargeable batteries.

• USB output port included to power and charge portable electronic devices.

• Includes DC Car Adapter for charging on the go

• 100 to 240V AC international power compatibility – ideal for travel

• Backlit LCD automatically displays battery type, voltage and charge status.

• Smart adaptive charging algorithm with precision end-of-charge detection ensures safe, effective battery charging.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This section explains how to power the charger, load a battery onto the charger, and charge it.

Adjusting Position of Contacts for Charging

• Before battery can be inserted into the charging bay and charged, the contact terminals of the charger must be properly adjusted accommodate your battery.

•

•

•

Adjust horizontal position for contacts by sliding the Left and Right

Contact Adjusters until they are properly aligned with your battery’s positive and negative terminals.

Depending on the location of your battery’s charging terminals you may need to adjust the vertical position of the charger contacts. You can do this by turning the adjusting dial until the proper height is achieved.

Note: The LI5000 has built in reverse polarity detection software.

This ensures full and safe charging for each and every charge.

Should you by chance insert the battery in reverse polarity (the positive contact is on the negative side of the battery, and vice versa), the unit will detect and automatically adjust itself to ensure a full and safe charge.

Adjusting Sliding Cover

• For small or standard size batteries, simply pull back the Sliding cover.

• For larger-sized batteries, press and hold down on the release button to move the Sliding Cover forwards or backwards.

Mounting a Battery pack

• Pull back the Sliding Cover.

• Place in the battery until completely inserted into the Charging Bay and battery terminals are aligned with charger contacts.

• For larger or longer batteries, press and hold down on the release button to extend the Sliding Cover before inserting the battery.

• When battery is properly mounted and contact is made, the LCD display will indicate charging status, and after approximately 5 seconds, the LCD display will detect battery type and begin the charging cycle.

* Some batteries can be

(or may need to be)

positioned vertically.

Charging of AA/AAA Rechargeable Batteries

•

•

You can also charge one or two AA/AAA size NiCd/NiMH rechargeable batteries.

Move the Left/Right Contact Adjusters and Adjusting Dial to the proper horizontal and vertical position.

One cell charging Two cell charging

• Pull back the sliding cover and insert one or two AA/AAA sized batteries into the Charging Bay where indicated on the charging bay floor.

• Adjust the Sliding Cover until batteries are fully inserted into the

Charging Bay.

Charging of a USB Device

• You can charge and power up USB devices through the 1 amp

USB output port. This works for devices such as MP3 players,

• mobile phones and portable gaming devices (USB cable not included).

Connect the USB device to the USB output port on the charger.

USB Active display should appear when cable is connected to

USB output port.

Charging indicator on device will indicate charging status.

The LI5000 has the ability to charge a battery in the charging tray

(Li-ion, NiCd, NiMh) as well as simultaneously charging or powering up a USB device. The USB device will continue to be charged at a 1 amp output, however, the battery pack charging power will be reduced to a 450 mA charging current.

ATTENTION: DO NOT mix cell size or type in the charging bays. Cells inserted into the charging bays must be same size, capacity, and type (i.e. NiCd or NiMH). The charger may malfunction with mixed cell types or capacities in the charging bays, and may damage the cells permanently.

DO NOT CHARGE ALKALINE BATTERY CELLS IN THIS

CHARGER.
