NEW i4 User Manual
Operating Instructions
Power on: Connect the NEW i4 to an external power source (such as vehicle adaptor, power socket) with its charging cor d.
Battery placement: Put one battery in each independently controlled slot according to the polar mark on the charger.
Battery identification: All Four LEDs indicators will be lit when Lithium batteries are placed in, two lower LEDs will be lit when Ni-MH batteries are placed in. Charging
begins in two seconds.
Other features: The New i4 has reverse polarity protection and anti-short circuiting protection incorporated.
Smart charging: The NEW i4 adopts the appropriate charging currents based on battery types and capacities. Whilst the option to adjust the current is also available.
The NEW 14 is compatible with:
7V Li-ion rechargeable batteries
8V Li-ion rechargeable batteries
2V Ni-MH/Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries
2V LiFePO4 batteries
Default Charging Parameters
In the context of this user manual, batteries of more than 1200mAh and equal or longer than 65mm in length will be defined as large capacity, batteries of less than
1200mAh and shorter than 65mm in length will be defined as small capacity. The default charging current allocation for the NEW i4 is shown in the table below:

Large capacities 1.5A 0.7SA 0.75A/0.75A Average current*1 0.375A Yes
Small capacities 0.5A 0.5A 0.5A/0.75A Average current*2 0.375A No
NI-MH O.SA O.SA 0.5A/0.75A Average current*2 0.375A No
*1 When charging three batteries of large capacities, the battery in the second slot will be charged at 0.75A, whilst the other two batteries will be charged at 0.375A each.
*2 When charging three batteries of small capacities, the battery in the second slot will be charged at O.SA, whilst the other two batteries will be charged at 0.375A each.
Settings
After battery placement, press the C button to select a slot or press the button repeatedly to select a specific slot from left to right order, when the desired slot is selected,
holding down the C button allows for manual adjustment to charging current and holding down the V button allows for manual adjustment to voltage.
‘Current setting
This option allows the charging current to be set at 1.5A for batteries of large capacities. The red light on top will turn on when the charging current to set at 1.5A.
‘Voltage setting
This option allows the charging termination voltage to be set at 4.35V/4.2V/3.7V
Note: (2) Charging current allocation can be manually adjusted when more than one battery of large capacities are placed in the charger
Trickle Charge Mode
The New i4 will charge batteries of small capacities at 0.5A.
Active Current Distribution (ACD)
The ACD technology allows the NEW i4 to actively distribute all its power between all slots in an orderly manner, for instance:
When one or more batteries are set to be charged at an accelerated rate of 1.5A
1. The charger will charge the batteries that are set to be charged at 1.5A from left to right
2. When the first battery charging at 1.5A is almost fully charged and enters CV charging, the charger will divert a portion of its current to charge other batteries that are
to be charged at the default setting, then proceed to charge the second battery that are set to be charged atSA when the first one gets fully charged.
3. When all batteries that are set to charge at 1.5A are fully charged, the charger will begin to charge the other remaining batteries at its default
Note: When only one battery of large capacity is placed in the charger, the charger will charge it at 1.SA by default.
