SKYRC SK-100164 e3 Duo Multi Chemistry Charger Instruction Manual

SKYRC SK-100164 e3 Duo Multi Chemistry Charger

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your choice of the SKYRC e3 Duo, 100-240V AC balance charger. This unit is simple to use but its operation does require some knowledge on the part of the user. Please read this entire operating manual completely and attentively before using this product, as it covers a wide range of information on operating and safety.
SKYRC e3 Duo Charger is an economic, high quality 100-240V AC balance charger, designed for charging LiPo, LiFe and LiHV batteries from 2-3 cells in balance mode. The circuit power is 20W for each channel and max charge current can reach to 2.2A. There are four kinds of charge current 0.5A/1A/1.5A/2.2A that can be selected. You could select the proper charge current according to battery capacity.

OPERATION

SKYRC e3 Duo comes with the built in power supply. You can connect the AC power cord to the AC socket (100-240V AC) directly.

CAUTION

This diagram shows the correct way to connect your battery to the e3 Duo charger while charging in balance mode.

Please refer to following steps to charge the battery

1. Insert the AC power cord into the charger.

2. Insert the AC cord into a wall socket (100-240V). All LEDS will light for one second, then battery type LED(default LiPo) and the charge current LED(default 1A) will glow constant white.

3. Connect battery balance wire to balance port which is in front side of the charger, select the battery type LiPo/LiFe/LiHV by press “BATT” button.
   

4. Select the proper charging current 0.5A/1A/1.5A/2.2A by pressing the circular button.
   The recommended charge rate is 1C (battery capacity = charge current). 1C means: capacity value = charge current.
   
   Example: LiPo cell of 2200mAh Capacity; 1C=2200mA (=2.2A) charge current. You can choose 2.2A current to charge the battery.

5. The charger starts charging. The charge status LED will glow to indicate charging is in progress.
   EXPLAINATION OF LED STATUS

| Capacity＜25%| 25% capacity indictor LED flashing
---|---|---
| 25%≤Capacity＜50%| 50% capacity indictor LED flashing
| 50%≤Capacity＜75%| 75% capacity indictor LED flashing
| 75%≤Capacity＜100%| 100% capacity indictor LED flashing

Remark:
The capacity indicator LED flash times shows the charge current you set.

When the battery is fully charged, the charge status LED will glow constant WHITE. Unplug the battery from the charger and press the circular button once, the charger will be ready to charge another battery.

6. During the charging process, if you want to stop charging, press the circular button once.

ERROR MESSAGE

If the charger encounters a problem, all LEDs will flash white to alert you the errors. In this case, please disconnect the power cord from the wall socket and unplug the battery from the charger.
