WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
To avoid short circuit between the charge lead always connect the charge cable to the
•
charger first, then connect the battery. Reverse the sequence when disconnecting.
Do not connect more than one battery pack to this charger at any one time.
•
Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries.
•
A battery pack which consists of different types of cells
A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly discharged.
Non-rechargeable batteries (Explosion hazard).
Batteries that require a different charge technique from NiCd, NiMh, LiPo or Gel cell
(Pb, Lead acid).
A faulty or damaged battery.
A battery fitted with an integral charge circuit or a protection circuit.
Batteries installed in a device or which are electrically linked to other components.
Batteries that are not expressly stated by the manufacturer to be suitable for the
currents the charger delivers during the charge process.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
Please bear in mind the following points before commencing charging:
•
Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery you are charging?
Did you set up adequate current for charging or discharging?
Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and
in series, i.e. a 2-cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in series).
Have you checked that all connections are firm and secure? Make sure there are no inter
mittent contacts at any point in the circuit.
Check to make sure all exposed plugs on your charging adaptor are not exposed. Use the
provided boots to cover them.
Charging
•
During charge process, a specific quantity of electrical energy is fed into the battery. The charge
quantity is calculated by multiplying charge current by charge time. The maximum permissible
charge current varies depending on the battery type or its performance, and can be found in the
information by the battery manufacturer. Only batteries that are expressly stated to be capable of
quick-charge are allowed to be charged at rates higher than the standard charge current.
Connect the battery to the terminal of the charger: red is positive and black is negative. Due to
the difference between resistance of cable and connector, the charger cannot detect resistance of
the battery pack, the essential requirement for the charger to work properly is that the charge lead
should be of adequate conductor cross-section, and high quality connectors, which are normally
gold-plated, should be fitted to both ends.
