VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 100 DUO Bedienungsanleitung Seite 78

Important when charging/discharging a multiple-cell lithium rechargeable battery with
balancer connection:
Multi-cell lithium batteries usually always have a balancer connection. This permits the charger
to monitor the voltage of every single cell separately at all times.
The charger adjusts the voltage of all cells to each other if there are deviations. The balancer
prevents that one or several cells are over-charged or other cells not sufficiently fully charged
by this. The balancer therefore protects both from over-charging (which may cause fire or ex-
plosion) and from deep discharge of a single cell, and thus ensures best performance of the
rechargeable battery in your model.
Procedure when connecting a rechargeable battery to the charger:
1. Connect the charger to the voltage/current supply.
2. First connect the charging cable to the two 4 mm round sockets of the charging output #1
(or #2). Ensure correct polarity (red cable = plus/+, black cable = minus/-).
The charging cable must not be connected to the rechargeable battery yet! There may
be a short-circuit of the charger plugs; there is a danger of fire and explosion!
3. If you want to connect a multiple-cell lithium rechargeable battery with balancer cable to the
charger, plug the enclosed balancer board into the charger using the corresponding socket
chargers (for output #1 or #2).
4. Connect the charging cable to the rechargeable battery now. Ensure correct polarity (red
cable = plus/+, black cable = minus/-).
5. Connect the balancer plug of a multiple-cell lithium rechargeable battery to the cor-
responding connection of the XH adapter. Do not use any force for plugging in!
Ensure correct polarity.
The minus connection of the balancer plug of the rechargeable battery should usually be
marked (e.g. black cable); the minus pole is marked on the balancer board as well (print "-").
If the balancer plug of the rechargeable battery does not match the shape of the socket on
the XH adapter (it is intended for XH plugs), you need to use a suitable connection cable. It
is available in accessory trade.
