A
Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries:
•
A battery fitted with an integral charge circuit or a protection circuit
•
A battery pack which consists of different types of cells (including
different manufacturer's cells)
•
A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly discharged and
non-rechargeable batteries (these pose an explosion hazard)
•
A faulty or damaged battery
•
Batteries installed in a device or which are electrically linked to other
components

PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THE FOLLOWING POINTS BEFORE YOU
COMMENCE CHARGING:
•
Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery you
are charging?
•
Did you set up the adequate current for charging or discharging?
•
Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired
in parallel and in series, i.e. a 2-cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in
series).
•
Have you checked that all connections are firm and secure?
•
Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.
