to charge higher capacity/cell count motor power batteries on one port and lower capacity/cell count
motor power, receiver, transmitter, etc. batteries on the other port simultaneously.
You can adjust the power distribution levels by pressing the ENTER button once and using the +/–
buttons to adjust the levels accordingly. And please also see the chart provided separately for a quick
reference of the maximum output power levels/charge current for LiPo batteries based on the listed
input voltage and current (and please note that these values are approximate and may vary +/–
slightly depending on input voltage of the power source under load, ambient temperatures, state of
charge/voltage level of the battery being charged, etc.).
Input Power LVC/Input Current Max
More detailed information on these settings can be found in the INPUT POWER SOURCE AND
CONNECTION section found near the beginning of this manual. Please refer to that section for more
information.
Cycle Pause Time
The Cycle Pause Time setting is the amount of time that the charger pauses between charge-
>discharge or discharge->charge cycles when in the cycling process of the Cycle Mode. Generally
speaking you should set the pause time to an amount of time that allows the battery to adequately
cool between charging/discharging cycles in order to prevent damage due to over-heating. To set the
Cycle Pause Time, simply press the ENTER button once and use the +/– buttons to
increase/decrease the amount of time as needed.
Charge Capacity Limit
The CHG (Charge) Capacity Limit percentage, in conjunction with the Battery Capacity function found
in the Charge Mode (see the Battery Capacity sub-section of the Charge Mode section for more
information), adds an additional level of safety to help ensure that even if the charger does not
complete/end charging correctly per the battery chemistry/type it will still complete/end the charge
process when the set capacity has been reached. To adjust the CHG Capacity Limit percentage,
simply press the ENTER button twice, then use the +/– buttons to increase/decrease the percentage
accordingly.
And in some cases, because many users do not typically discharge their LiPo batteries in particular
beyond 75-85%, it may be even safer to set the capacity limit percentage to match the approximate
discharge level accordingly (for example, if you only discharge to 80% then set the limit to 80%).
However, please keep in mind that if the capacity limit percentage is set to a level below 90-100% it is
possible that the charger will complete/end charging when it reaches the capacity limit rather than
completing/ending the charge appropriately per the chemistry/type (i.e. – delta peak for NiCd/NiMH,
CC/CV to CHG End Voltage for LiPo/LiIon/LiFe, etc.), especially if you discharge by a higher
percentage than the capacity limit percentage.
Safety Timer
The Safety Timer offers another level of safety to help prevent dangerous over-charge that can
result in damage to the battery or fire causing damage and/or personal injury. The safety timer
will limit the amount of time that a function can go on, and in the case of charging, it will complete/end
the charge process when the time limit is reached even if the other features/functions (such as CHG
End Voltage, Capacity Limit, etc.) do not. To adjust the Safety Timer time limit from the minimum to
