Lithium-based Battery Program

This charger can accept 4 types of Lithium-based batteries: LiPo, Li-ion, LiFe (LiFePO4), and LiHV .
Warning:

• Check your battery carefully to identify its type in order to choose the correct program. Selecting the wrong program can damage your battery and/or result in explosion/fire!
• Only choose the LiHV program if your battery is specifically labeled as such. Using LiHV to charge standard LiPo will overcharge your battery and can lead to explosion/fire.
  Each LiXX program has the 3 operating modes. Selecting each mode will take you to its setting screen.
