Instructions Manual Lithium Balancing Charger
1. Features:
-
For more accuracy, safety and reliability micra processor in the Charger monitors the entire charging process.
-
This Charger charges 2 (7.4V) and 3 (11.1 V) cell Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer batteries.
-
The charging status is displayed via LEDs
-
Auto-detection of voltage differences between cells ensures maximum capacity and life span of your batteries.
-
Input jack: DC 15-18 V, 1000 mA
2. Attention: Important Safety Rules
-
We recommend an old metal ammunition container for storage and charging of Li-Ion and Li-Po batteries.
-
Never leave batteries in your model. Store them properly.
-
Use this charger for 2 and 3-cell Li-Ion and Li-Po batteries only.
-
Never disassemble, alter or use the charger for other than the design purpose.
-
Never charge a battery immediately after the flight. Let it cool down first. Otherwise the battery will be damaged or destroyed.
It may catch fire or even explode!
-
Never charge a battery which has changed its shape or has a "puffed up" cell. This indicates a damaged battery and it may
short circuit itself, catch fire or even explode.
-
Never charge near a heat source or electronic equipment.
-
Never charge in direct sun shine or inside a car.
-
Never leave the battery unattended during charge process.
-
Never let the charger get wet nor use it under moist conditions to avoid short circuitry and other hazard as described before.
-
Never pour liquids onto the charger or let foreign objects get into the charger. In such a case, immediately cut off the power
source, disconnect the battery and return the charger to your local hobby shop or send it direct to us for service.
-
Always place the charger and battery on a flat, non-flammable surface.
-
Never drop the charger nor hit it.
-
Never puncture a Li-Ion or Li-Poly battery.
-
Always check for correct polarity when connecting the battery. Otherwise the battery will be damaged or destroyed. It may
catch fire or even explode!
-
Always discard batteries according to the local regulation. Do not discard batteries with your household garbage.
3. Monitoring the charge process:
-
Connect the charger via its power jack to a 15V – 18V power source. The Power LED will light up red, the Charge LED green.
-
When charging a 2-cell (7.4V) Li-Ion or Li-Po battery, plug the special battery connector into the charge jack for 2-cell (7.4V)
batteries. The Charge LED will flash red indicating that the battery charger is in charge mode. As soon as the battery is fully
charged the LED will turn green.
-
When charging a 3-cell (11.1V) Li-Ion or Li-Po battery, plug the special battery connector into the charge jack for 3-cell (11.1V)
batteries. The Charge LED will flash red indicating that the battery charger is in charge mode. As soon as the battery is fully
charged the LED will turn green.
Attention:
Never charge more than one battery at a time. Otherwise the batteries will be damaged or destroyed. They may
catch fire or even explode!
