Safety precautions

* Do NOT attempt to charge incompatible types of rechargeable batteries.

This charger is designed to only charge and discharge nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride,

lithium-ion, and lithium-polymer batteries.

* Make sure to place the charger on a firm level surface for charging.

* Do not attempt to charge batteries at excessive fast charge currents.

* Do not use automotive type battery chargers to power the charger.

* Do not leave the charger unattended while charging. Disconnect the battery and remove

input power from charger immediately if the charger becomes hot. Allow the charger or

battery to cool down before reconnecting.

* Do not allow water, moisture or foreign objects into the charger.

* Do not place the battery or charger on or near a flammable object while in use.

Keep away from carpets, cluttered workbenches, etc.

* Do not cover the air intake holes on the charger as this could cause the charger to overheat.

* Connect the input leads to a 12V power supply first, then connect the battery.

* Do not disassemble the charger.

Input power

A. Connect the charger to the 12V DC power supply.

Connect the charger's red alligator clip to the positive (+) terminal on the power source, and the black alligator clip to the negative (-) terminal. The charger will display “ Input voltage” error message if the input is below 11V, or above 15V. If this happens, please recheck the input power supply to make sure adequate power is present.

B. Connect the AC plug to a regular AC100~240V wall outlet.

Note: If AC power is being used for input power, do NOT try to connect the 12V DC power!

Output battery connections

Two banana sockets are located on the right side of the charger. Connect the battery charge lead to these sockets with the positive (+) lead connected to the red socket and the negative (-) lead to the black socket. “No battery“ error massage will be displayed if trying to start charge without connecting a battery. “Open circuit” error message will be displayed if a battery become disconnected from the charger while a function in progress. “Reverse polarity“ error message will be displayed if a battery is connected to the charger in reverse.

Operation

When the charger is connected to the power supply the charger will show a battery mode that has been lastly used.

If the Battery type button is briefly pressed, the present battery type ( NiCd, NiMH, Lithium, or Pb ) is blinking.

While the existing battery type is blinking, every time the Battery type button is pressed, the following modes are shown in order. NiCd NiMH LiIo Pb NiCd

- If the other buttons are pressed, or nothing is pressed, the present battery type stops blinking.

- If the Battery type button is pressed long, the recent & previous data will be shown for

3 seconds.

- If the Enter button is briefly pressed, a parameter which can be adjusted, starts to blink, and if the

Enter button is pressed again, next parameter starts to blink. If nothing is pressed for 3 seconds,

a parameter stops blinking.

- Once the Enter button is pressed long, the charger starts to charge or discharge.

This charger is capable of charging Lithium-ion and Lithium-polymer batteries up to 5 lithium cells.

This charger is using the “ constant current / constant voltage “ in order to fully charge Lithium-ion

& Lithium-polymer batteries. Constant current is delivered during the fast charge. When the voltage of the Li-Ion or Li-Po battery is reached approx 4.0V per cell, the charger starts to change its charge method from “constant current” to “ constant voltage “. The “ constant voltage “ allows the battery to dictate how much current the charger should deliver for safe, full charges. When the current drops below approx 100mA, the charger should stop charging as the battery is fully charged.

LiIo DISCHARGE

Lithium type

Setting discharge current

Adjust and find the desired discharge current from 0.10A to 1.00A (0.01A per step) with INC & DEC button. Press the ENTER button to confirm setting.

Setting battery type

Choose the desired battery type ( either Li-Ion or Li-Po ) with INC & DEC buttons. Press the ENTER button to confirm setting.

For the safety purpose, this charger is designed to automatically deliver 1C charge rate to the batteries of either Li-Ion or Li-Po based on user selected battery capacity.

Example : Li-Po cell of 1500mAh capacity : 1C = 1500mAh ( = 1.5A ) charge current.

Note: The maximum voltage for Li-Ion batteries is 4.1V per cell, and 4.2V per cell for Li-Po batteries. Therefore, it is extremely important to choose the proper battery type to be charged as

Li-Ion and Li-Po batteries have the different voltage level. Unless otherwise, it may cause very serious damage to the batteries and the surrounding area!
