Rotate the
Jog dial
to go to the LiPo FAST CHG screen and set charging param-
eters. The charging amperage
(A)
can be set between 0.1 and 10.0A. Voltage
(B)
is
dependent on the number of cells in series. For example, with Li-Po batteries these
values can be from 3.7V (for 1S batteries) to 22.2V (for 6S batteries).
Near the end of a standard charging cycle, the charger switches from Constant Cur-
rent (CC) mode to Constant Voltage (CV) mode to slowly “top off” the current in the
battery as close as possible to the maximum capacity.
In Fast Charge, the CV mode is eliminated in order to greatly shorten the charging
time; however, the final capacity of the battery will be less than what you would get
using the standard charge method.

The nature of a Lead Acid or Sealed Lead Acid battery is very different from that of
Lithium, Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries. The output current of a Pb battery is lower than
other batteries relative to their capacities. Furthermore, lead acid batteries can’t be
charged at a level greater than 1/10 their capacity.
For example, a 5000mAh lead acid battery can’t be charged at a rate greater than
0.5A. For more details on the charge and discharge capabilities of your battery,
please refer to the charging data supplied by the battery manufacturer.
Correctly connect your Pb battery to the charger. Press the

LI BATTERy VOLTAGE CHECKER OPERATION - USING THE BALANCE AdAPTER PORT
The Passport Ultra Duo charger has the capability to read and display the individual
cell voltages of a Li-Po, Li-Fe or Li-Io battery. This voltage checking function can
only be used when the charger is powered ON and not charging a battery.
To use the voltage checker, connect the balance port connector of your Li-Po, Li-Fe
or Li-Io battery to the balance adapter board connected to the Balance Circuit

REST TIME
Use this menu to set the Rest time during each step in a cycle.When a Ni-MH or
Ni-CD battery is cycled (charged, discharged and charged again) it will get hot,
therefore it is necessary to set a rest time interval during each step of the pro-

on to the next part of the cycle. Default time is 10 minutes, but this can be set
between 1 and 60 minutes. To select a value other than the default parameter:
