Security
•BatteriesforRCmodelsaredangerousandmustbeusedwithcare.Neverleaveabatteryunattended.
•Donotopenthecharger,foranyreason.
•Alwayskeepthechargerinasafeanddryarea,andkeepitawayfordirectsunlightandvibrations.
•Thechargerhassomeventsonitscase.Nevermaskthem.
•Thechargerandthebatteryneedtobeplacedonanonflammablearea,heatresistantandnotconductive.Keepflammableobjectsawayfromthe
charger.
•Whenusingtheexternalbatteryinputcables,alwayscheckthattheconnectorscannottoucheachothertoavoidanyshortcircuit.Keepthe
connectorawayfromanyconductiveareaandfromthebatteriestobechargedorthechargeritself.
•Incaseofmalfunctionorabnormalevent,disconnectimmediatlythechargerfromitspowersupply/sourceandthebatteries.
Onlyusea11V–15VDCpowersupplyorcarbattery(12V)withsufficientcapacity.
•Neverplugseveralbatteriesatthesametimeonthecharger.
•Somebatteriesfeaturecellswithseriesassembly,orparallelassembly.Pleasemakesuretochoosetherightcellsnumberinserieswhen
programmingthecharger.
•Thechargeroutputpowerislimitedto80W.Thismeans,thata18Vbatterycan’tbechargedat6A,butwillbechargedat4.4A(18Vx4.4A=
Approx.80W).
•Despitethefactthatthechargercandetectthenumberofcellstocharge,alwayscheckthevaluedetectedbythecharger,andchangeitif
necessary.
•Ifyouhaveanydoubtaboutthebatterytype/chargeparameters,pleaseconsultyourlocalhobbystoreorthemanufacturer/distributor.
•Despitethefactthatthechargerdetectsautomaticallythecellsnumbersandproposesautomaticcharge/dischargeprocesses,itisthe
customersresponsibilitytocheckthevaluesproposedandtomodifythemifnecessary.
•Onceacharge/discharge/balancing/storing/cyclingprocessisfinished,neverleavethebatteryconnectedtothecharger.
•Ifthechargerdetectsanythingwrong,itwillinformyouwithanerrormessageinmostcases.Pleasechecktheerrorchartintheendofthis
manual.
