Troubleshooting
(1) Ensure that the battery you are trying to charge and the settings on the charger match. Battery type (such as NiMH or LiPo),
battery capacity, number of cells (charge voltage), and charge rate must all be correct.
(2) Check that the input cable and output cables:
*Have proper connectors and are in good condition *Are not frayed, worn, cut, or damaged
*Are the proper gauge (output 2.5mm, 14ga) *Are proper length <= 30cm (12”) on output side
(3) Attach the charger input connectors to a 12V automotive battery that is in good condition and fully charged. Wiggle the
terminal clips into the battery posts to insure that you have a good connection. Many charger problems are due to poor quality
or inadequate switching AC-DC power supplies, so this test is necessary to eliminate those from the list of suspects.
(4) Try another battery for charging. If the RC battery is in poor condition, over discharged, or in some other way defective,
the charger may correctly refuse to charge it based on safety algorithms.
(5) Try another RC battery type. For example switch to a NiMH battery if you are failing to charge Lithium types. Success with
one type but failure with another generally indicates that the charger is working properly. The failing battery type is almost
certainly in poor condition, wired incorrectly, or the charger may be improperly set.
(6) Contact your dealer with full details and description of the problem, including the type of input power source, RC battery type
and cell count, and history of the charger - that is, has the charger been working properly before, or failed from new condition?
(7) I have an OUTPUT CIRCUIT ERROR
* Be sure that your pack balance connector type, polarity, and wiring system matches the multi-adapter attached to the charger.
* Carefully inspect pack connector, balance wire harness and Multi-Adapter for damage, wear, etc. If OK, then:
* Spray all connectors (including the one in charger) with de-oxide contact spray, then insert-remove connectors several times,
then spray one last time and re-connect.
* Use a solid DC PS or fully charged CAR battery for Input power (poor power supplies cause MANY problems…)
* Test charger using a lithium battery known to be in good condition.
* Try a different brand battery (preferably with different balance connector and multi-adapter type)
8) My LCD does not light, or lights but no characters are visible.
In most cases this happens when a charger has been dropped, or suffered some heavy vibration. The ribbon cable between LCD
unit and charger can become loose. Have your dealer open the charger and re-seat the ribbon cable.
Enjoy the Power!

WARRANTY
HYPERION Chargers are guaranteed to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one calendar year from
date of purchase. Your selling dealer is your first point of contact for warranty issues. Return postage costs are the
responsibility of the user in all cases. You MUST submit a copy of original receipt with the charger, and full description of the
problem must also be included in the return package.
Damage due to physical shock (dropping on the floor, etc), connection errors due to unauthorized charging configurations,
inappropriate power supply [automotive battery charger, etc!], water, moisture, and humidity are specifically NOT covered by
warranty. It is well to carefully check your charger and consult your vendor before making a return, as problems in setup,
cabling, batteries, or power supply are much more common than defects in the charger.
IMPORTANT!! If TVC (Terminal Voltage Control Function) setting greater than 0mV is used at any time for LIPO/LIFE, NO
WARRANTY WILL BE AVAILABLE, nor ANY LIABILITY ACCEPTED for DAMAGE, LOSS, or INJURY.
