INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your choice of the SKYRC QUATTRO B6AC digital intelligent charger from 
SKYRC  Technology  Co.,  Ltd.  You  are  now  the  owner  of  a  compact  charger  with  battery 
management and integral balancer.

The  unit  is  simple  to  use,  but  the  operation  of  a  sophisticated  automatic  charger  such  as 
the  SKYRC  QUATTRO  B6AC  does  require  some  knowledge  on  the  part  of  the  user. 
These  operating  instructions  are  designed  to  ensure  that  you  quickly  become  familiar 
with its functions.

It  is  therefore  important  that  you  read  right  through  the  Operating  Instructions,  Warning 
and  Safety  Notes  before  you  attempt  to  use  your  new  automatic  charger  for  the  first  time. 
We hope you have many years of pleasure and success with your new battery charger.

SKYRC  QUATTRO  B6AC

 

is

 

a

micro  processor  control  charge/discharge 

station  with  battery

by

 

a 12

 

Volt

 

car

 

battery

 

or

 

from

 

100V-240V via the 

built in switch-mode power supply

.

And the circuit features four totally independent  identical  power  outputs which  are powered  50 
watts each. Total powers are 200 watts.

 

As a result , it can charge or discharge up to 4 x 15 cells 

of  NiCd/NiMH  or  4  x  6  series  of

 

Lithium  batteries  simultaneously.  Quattro  B6AC

 

has

 

four

at

 

each outputs, so it does

When

 

a  Nickel  battery  is  fully  charged,  the  unit  terminates  the  process  using  the  Delta-Peak

 

method. Lithium and lead (Pb) batteries are charged using the CC-CV method.

The  fan  cooling  system  is  so  smart  and  efficient.  The  fan  speed  is  controlled  by 
internal temperature sensor. 

Following  instructions  only  apply  to  one  of  the  four  chargers,  as  all  of  them  operate 
according to same principle.

Please  BE  SURE  to  read  these  instructions  and  Warning  and  Safety  Notes  before  you 
use the charger for the first time.

It  can  be  dangerous  to  mis-handle  batteries  and  battery  chargers,  as  there  is  always  a 
risk of batteries catching fire and exploding.

This  charger  is  designed  and  approved  exclusively  for  use  with  the  types  of  battery 
stated  in  these  Instruction  Manual.  SKYRC  accepts  no  liablility  of  any  kind  if  the  charger 
is  used  for  any  purpose  other  than  that  stated.  We  are  unable  to  ensure  that  you  follow 
the  instructions  supplied  with  the  charger,  and  we  have  no  control  over  the  methods  you 
employ  for  using,  operating  and  maintaining  the  device.  For  this  reason  we  are  obliged 
to  deny  all  liability  for  loss,  damage  or  costs  which  are  incurred  due  to  the  incompetent 
or  incorrect  use  and  operation  of  our  products,  or  which  are  connected  with  such 
operation  in  any  way.  Unless  otherwise  prescribed  by  law,  our  obligation  to  pay 
compensation,  regardless  of  the  legal  argument  employed,  is  limited  to  the  invoice  value 
of  those  SKYRC  products  which  were  immediately  and  directly  involved  in  the  event  in 
which the damage occurred.
