CAUTION and NOTES
- This charger is ONLY suitable for charging rechargeable LiPo, Li-ion, LiFe, LiHV NiCd, NiMH, Smart, and Pb batteries. Do not attempt to charge dry cells. Charge other types of batteries may cause fire or explosion.
- Set up the InputPower Limit/Low Input VOLT Cutoff correctly in the USER SETTING.
- Pay attention to the charger during use. Do not leave the charger unattended.
- Never charge the dead or damaged batteries.
- Do not attempt to charge a battery pack containing different types of batteries.
- Do not use a too short or damaged cable.
- Do not use the charger close to a flammable object. Use only in well-ventilated areas.
- Only charge the rechargeable batteries that meet the product specifications of this charger.
- 4-Do not allow water, moisture, or foreign objects into the charger.
- Do not use it in humid locations. Do not operate with wet hands.
- Do not attempt to disassemble the charger.
- Do not use the charger on fleecy materials, such as carpets, blankets, beds, and cushions.
- Do not block the cooling fan and the air inlet.
- Strongly recommend balancing Lithium packs. An unbalanced pack may be damaged during discharging.
- The general default charging current is 1C. Read the manual of the battery and setup a suitable current to charge the battery Higher charge/discharge current will damage the battery, and even cause a fire.
- NEVER store LiPo batteries in any location that exceeds 80° F (e.g. in a car, garage, or in the sun)
- NEVER let the battery’s positive and negative leads touch. This can cause the battery to short circuit and lead to a FIRE. If for any reason you need to cut the terminal wires it will be necessary to cut each wire SEPARATELY, to ensure the wires do NOT touch each other.
- NEVER charge a swollen or ballooned battery (even if swollen upon purchase). Continue to charge a battery that has begun to swell will result in a fire.
Follow these steps:
- STOP the charging process
- Disconnect the battery from the device immediately.
- Place it in an open non-flammable area.
- Watch it for approx. 30 minutes from a safe distance.
- Follow the proper procedure to dispose of the battery
ALWAYS store LiPo batteries in cool, dry places between 40-80° F.
- Avoid Over-Discharging LiPo Batteries
- The internal battery damage caused by over-discharging will not always be visible.
- However, this can potentially lead to a FIRE when attempting to recharge it at later times.
- Allow the battery to cool down before charging,
- DO NOT charge multiple battery packs in series. Charge each battery pack individually.
- Failure to do so may result in incorrect battery recognition and charging functions.
- Overcharging may occur and possibly result in FIRE.
- When selecting the cell count or voltage for charging purposes, select the cell count and voltage as it appears on the LiPo battery label. Selecting a cell count or voltage other than the one printed on the label will cause improper charging rates that can lead to fire.
- Example: The label/ on a 2-Cell battery pack in series will read – – “7.4V” You must select 2-Cell for charging.
- Example: The label on a 3-cell battery pack in series will read -“11. 1V” You must select 3-Cell for charging.
- You must check the pack voltage before charging. Do not attempt to charge any pack if the open voltage per cell is less than 3.3V. For example:
- Do not charge a 2-cell pack if below 6.6V
- Do not charge a 3-cell pack if below 9.9V
