Product Information

The LITHIUM 2 charger is designed for charging 1-2 Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery packs with 3.6V/3.7V or NiMH Mignon AA/Micro AAA battery packs independently. It requires a 5V DC USB adapter with a minimum of 1000mA output current.

Usage Instructions

General:

The charger can be used with any USB port with at least 1A output current, but the charging current will reduce to 500mA when charging two Li-Ion battery packs simultaneously.

Safety Instructions:

Only use rechargeable Ion battery packs or NiMH Mignon AA/Micro AAA batteries.
Ensure correct polarity when inserting batteries.
Use high-performance brand rechargeable batteries to prevent leaks and damage.
Avoid high humidity and water to protect against fire and electric shock
Keep the charger in a dry place.

Startup:
Connect the charger to a suitable USB power source using the provided cable.

OPERATION

To operate the charger, connect the USB-C connector of the charging cable to the charger and the USB-A connector to any USB power adap-ter with minimum 1A output current (e.g. your USB charger that you use for charging your smartphone). After connecting, the device performs a quick function test, each LED lights briefly.
With this charger you can charge 1-2 Li-Ion, 1-2 NiMH battery or each 1 Li-Ion and 1 NiMH battery at the same time and independently.
For charging the battery, pull back the silver negative (-) contact and insert the battery in the correct polarity (according to the plus and mi-nus symbol shown in the charging slot).
The microprocessor-controlled charger detects automatically the inserted battery and its voltage and chooses the right charging mode. Charging starts automatically and the charging status of each battery is indicated via 3 LEDs per slot
(see LED DISPLAY).
It is normal for the batteries to become warm when charging. After the battery is fully charged all 3 LEDs light up permanently. NiMH batteries are held in a state of trickle charge after they are full.
