WARNING: Read the ENTIRE
instruction manual to become
familiar with the features of
the product before operating.
WARNING: Never leave
charger unattended, exceed
maximum charge rate, charge
with non-approved batteries or
charge batteries in thewrong
mode. Failure to comply may
result in excessive heat, fire
and serious injury.
CAUTION: Always ensure the battery you are charging meets the specifications
of this charger and that the charger setting sare correct. Not doing so can
result in excessive heat and other related product malfunctions, which can
lead to user injury or property damage.

key once.
The charger can accept three types
of Lithium batteries:LiPo/Lilo/ LiFe ;
you have to check the battery carefull
and set it up correctly, or itwill cause
a explode! (Please refer the table A)
This charger can recognise the cell
count of Lithium battery automatically.
for the battery voltagelower than the
lowest safety voltage,charger will not
start the charge process. But this
charge has a precharge function to
restore the battery.you can set the
restore time(normally 2 minutes) in
the @ menu.then precharge program
will start-up. The more capacity of
the battery is,the more time it will
need
Attention:
In the normal charge mode,you need
to turn off the precharge process.
DO NOT use this function unless you
know the battery status very well.
If the battery voltage increase very
few,please stop the precharge
process immediately.or it will cause
a danger!!!
When NiMH or NiCd battery is on the cyclic process of charge/discharge, It may
become warm . The program insert a time delay to occur after each charge and
discharge process to allow the battery adequate time to cool down before being
subjected to the next process. (see the screen @ ) the value ranges from 1 to
60 minutes.If you are not sure,you can set it over 10 minutes.
O @ shows the trigger voltage for automatic charge termination of NiMH and
NiCd battery (AV), the effective value ranges from 5 to 20mV per cell. If AV
is set higer, there is a danger of overchargeing the battery; if it is set lower,
there is a possibility of premature termination. please refer technical
specification of the battery.(NiCd: 12mV,NiMH:7mV)
Tips: If the voltage of charging battery is lower than 2.5V, AV may can not
be perceived, this will cause a danger of discharge.You can connect a
temperature sensor or use the charger current above 1C to avoid it.
The charger will automatically supply the trickle function to achieve the full
charge with out ouerheating the battery after fast charge has been teminated.
you can alter the trickle value when the charger shows you the screen @
The 3-pin port on the left side of the unit is a temp. sensor port,you can set the
max. safety temperature (see the screen @ )then monitor the battery temp.
via the temp. sensor.
When you start a charge process, the integral safety timer automatically starts
running at the same time.this is programmed to prevent overcharge the battery
if itproves to be faulty,or if the termination circuit cannot detect the battery full.
@ shows you this program can be on or off, and you can set the maximum safety
time,the value ranges from 10 to 720min. As the same principle there is a
maximum-cap acity-limited function. See @ , the value ranges from 100 to
80000mAh.
When you use the car battery to supply power for charger, screen shows
you this program monitors the voltage of input DC battery. If the voltage drops
below the value you set the operation forcibly terminated to protect the input
battery.
At the screen @ you can set the audible sounds to be on or off by this program.
You can adjust the brightness of LCD screen at the charger(see @ ).
Please refer the information below(chart A), and select the correct parameter
for each battery, or it will cause a serious result!

This is an intellective program, If the voltage of battery at its initial stage is
over the voltage level to storage, the program will start to discharge,and if it
is lower, the program will start to charge automatically. In order to ensure
each battery meets the demand, the individual plug of the battery pack should
be connected to the individual port of charger.
"Discharge mode" theoretically, Lithium battery do not need to discharge,
especially deep-discharge. To avoid the overcharge of the individual battery,
you should connect the balance plug of the battery to the charger, you can
