Warning and Safety Notes [cont.]
Voltage is just as critical as the charging amperage rate and this is
determined by the number of cells in series, or “S”. For example, a 3S
LiPo is rated at 11.1 volts (“S” multiplied by a single LiPo cell with a
nominal voltage of 3.7 volts DC. 3 cells x 3.7 volts each equals 11.1
volts DC).
Connect the battery’s main leads to the charger output: red is
positive and black is negative. Keep in mind that the gauge or
thickness of your charging leads from the RDX2 Mini to your battery
must be of an acceptable current rating to handle the applied
charge current. For maximum safety and charging e ectiveness,
always match or exceed the main battery lead rating when
assembling or selecting your charging leads. If you charge a battery
at a high current rate (amperage) with a charging lead not rated for
the chosen amperage, the wire could get hot, catch re, short out
and/or potentially destroy your battery and the charger.
