CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS
CHANGE / START (left): For starting a charge,
or to change settings.
▲(+): For moving up through menus, or
increasing the values of settings on-screen.
▼(–): For moving down through menus, or
decreasing the values of settings on-screen.
▲: For moving to the right in the menus.
OUTPUT BANANA JACKS: For connection
to a wide variety of charge adapters. Adapters
with: a standard plug and Star Plug are
included. For small electric vehicle batteries, nd a charge lead that best matches the type of battery you are charging.
Look for these and other charge adapters at your local retailer:
ITEM NUMBER CHARGE LEAD DESCRIPTION
DTXC2210 Adapter – Standard to Vendetta, MiniQuake, RS4 Battery
DTXC2220 Charge lead – banana plugs to standard
DTXC2222 Charge lead – banana plugs to Traxxas
®
DTXC2223 Charge lead – banana plugs to mini plug
DTXC2225 Balancing lead – banana to 4mm bullet adapter 2S LiPo
GPMM3105 Charge lead – banana plugs to BEC connector
GPMM3149 Charge lead – banana plugs to micro connector
Always connect the charge lead to the charger rst. Then connect the battery to the charge lead. Always match polarities
on the battery wires, charge leads and banana jacks - black connections to black (–), red connections to red (+).
BALANCE PORT: To connect an adapter for balancing of lithium batteries. See page 7– 8.
RADIO BATTERY: To directly connect a receiver or transmitter battery for charging.
DETERMINING BATTERY TYPE AND SPECIFICATIONS
IMPORTANT: What is your battery’s CHEMISTRY TYPE, RATED
CAPACITY, AND RATED VOLTAGE? To avoid causing permanent
damage to your battery, carefully read your battery’s label and/or
instruction sheet or consult your battery supplier and determine:
1. TYPE: Is the battery a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), nickel-
cadmium (NiCd), lithium-polymer (LiPo), lithium-ion (LiIon), or
lithium-ferrite-phosphate (LiFe, such as LiFeSource brand)?
2. RATED CAPACITY: The amount of charge energy the battery
can store should be listed on the battery’s label in “mAh”
(“milli-amp hours”).
3. RATED VOLTAGE: If not printed on the battery’s label, consult
your battery supplier or determine the proper pack voltage
as follows (refer to the charts at right):
a. NiMH and NiCd: number of cells 1.20.
b. LiPo batteries: number of cells 3.70.
c. LiIon batteries: number of cells 3.60.
d. LiFe batteries (LiFeSource): number of cells 3.30.
