Tip: The following detailed instructions for charging a LiPo pack will
help you learn how to navigate through the charging process. Once
you become familiar with GT1000 operations, you shouldn’t need
instructions at all.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the power source, you must
specify the power source’s operating characteristics before charging
for the first time with a DC power supply, and before charging for the
first time from a battery. The GT1000 allows you to store up to 6
different power supply profiles (3x DC power supply profiles and 3x
Lead Acid battery profiles). After that, load the power supply profile
using the Power Source option any time you change to a different DC
power supply or battery.
