Emcotec PowerCharger600 Operating Instructions

Operating Instructions

High Grade Quick Charger of the First Class -
Made in Germany!
The PowerCharger600 is a charging device which,
thanks to its 600 watts of charging power, allows for
fast charging of LiPo batteries. Purposely, the device
was designed simple: No excessive setup, no searching
through endless software menus, no setup of number of
cells, simple connection of the battery and you're done!
Usually, (e.g. with combat models) the same number of
cells are flown by pilots for years (e.g. 10S battery in
aerobatic F3A). Why not a charger which is designed
for a fixed number of cells? Setups are avoided and
nothing can be done wrong. Simply connect the battery
to the PowerCharger600. Done! The charging state is
indicated by several LEDs. A green LED e.g. indicates
battery full.
Warning:
LiPo batteries can be hazardous and can explode or burn under certain circumstances if handled
in a wrong way! Always monitor charging. Charge LiPo batteries outside of the model on a non
flammable surface. EMCOTEC excludes any liability when using the PowerCharger600.
In order to distinguish the different chargers and
therefore the assigned battery at first sight, the front
plates are printed in different colors:
Green
Blue
Black
Red
Each battery has its "own" charger. Only the charging
current can be selected in 4 steps by the user. This
ranges from regular charging (e.g. 4A) up to quick
charging (up to 24A). The new generation of LiPo
batteries is quickly rechargeable up to 5C (5 time's
nominal capacity). A 4Ah battery therefore can be
charged with up to 20A. Depending on rest capacity,
the battery would be fully charged by the Power
Charger600 in 5 to 15 minutes!
LiPoChecker PRO
Up to two Orbit
to the PowerCharger600 if you want to balance the
cells during charging (available in the EMCOTEC
internet shop). Besides the pure balancing function
(equalization of single cells) the LiPoChecker reduces
the charging current in case the allowed cell voltage
is exceeded. The batteries can not be over-charged!
There is no safer and quicker way to charge LiPo
batteries!
Hint:
The PowerCharger600 has no built in balancers!
Experience shows that LiPo-batteries must not
necessarily be charged using a balancer especially
when quick charging. What is a balancer good for
which bleeds off 0.5A to 1A if the battery is charged
with 20A?
It therefore suffices if the battery is charged once in a
while using a regular charging device (with internal
balancer) or using the PowerCharger600 with reduced
charging current (e.g. 4A) and an external balancer.
