THE TAURUS CHARGER The Taurus is an innovative multi function charger far superior to existing conventional chargers. This unit is especially designed to maximize charge efficiency using its own unique algorithm. The integral 2 line, 16 character LCD screen displays various information relating to the operating modes and adjustment parameters, as well as key functions - such as the battery charge state, which shows the percentage of capacity remaining.
LITHIUM ION/POLYMER BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS immediately and allow to cool. Do not recommence charging until the battery and charger have been checked for compatibility and the Vitally important safety information charger settings have been confirmed as being correct. Ensure that the charger and battery are placed on a non-flammable surface whilst charging and ideally charge outdoors wherever In the unlikely event of the Lithium ION/Polymer battery catching fire possible.

LITHIUM ION/POLYMER/FE BATTERIES USAGE: Lithium battery packs must NEVER be discharged below 3 volts per If disposing of Lithium battery packs ensure that the pack is cell as this will result in damage to the cells. If the voltage is allowed fully discharged by using a light bulb, electric motor or similar to to drop below 3 volts per cell the battery voltage may seem to completely discharge the pack.
