4. Push the Start button to begin the charge process. Move the LCD selector switch to the ammeter
position. Select a charge rate below 2 amps, depending on what receiver pack you are going to
charge. Charge 600mAh receiver packs at 1 amp or less, while higher capacity packs, such as
1000mAh, can be charged at 2 amps.
5. Once you have begun to charge the battery pack, the charge status LED will go from flashing to solid
red and the LCD will display ”fast.”
6. When the battery is fully charged, the charger will beep repeatedly, the LED will flash and the LCD will
display ”trickle” and drop to a safe 150mAh trickle charge current rate.
CAUTION:
Never re-peak a warm battery as the overcharging can damage the products and
possibly the user.
WARNING:
If at any time during the charge process the battery pack(s) become hot (over 140 ºF), unplug
the battery immediately and discontinue the charge process.
TRICklE ChaRgE
Once your batteries are fully charged, the charger will automatically enter into trickle charge. This feature
allows your batteries to stay fully charged until you are ready to use them again. Trickle charging also helps
”equalize” the battery voltage of the individual cells within a pack. This raises the total battery pack voltage
(power) and increases capacity (runtime). You will know that your charger has entered trickle charge when
you hear the charger beep and the LED continuously flashes.
VOlTMETER
The voltmeter function allows you to monitor the charge voltage of the battery
to determine the battery’s charge state. The higher the battery’s average
voltage, the more power it can deliver. This is also a good indicator of how
well the battery cells are matched, which translates to longer runtimes. (See
figure 4)
mah
The mAh (milli-Amp/hour) setting displays the amount of capacity the battery
pack has accepted during fast charge. This can help determine how long the
battery will operate your vehicle and reveal any problems with the battery
pack. A fully discharged battery pack should accept its rated capacity in mAh.
Partially charged batteries and battery packs with damaged cells or cells that
have developed memory will result in a lower mAh rating. (See figure 5)
fuSES
This charger is protected by a 7.5 Amp spade fuse and a 1 Amp glass fuse. If you need to replace a fuse,
your local hobby retailer should be able to supply one. You can also find replacement fuses at automotive
stores. Always replace your fuse with a new fuse of the same rating.
NOTICE:
Always replace your fuses with the same fuse type/model as supplied by the manufacturer.
