(100-240V AC) directly.
Please refer to following steps to charge the battery,
1) Insert the AC power cord into the charger.
2) Insert the AC cord into a wall socket (100-240V). All LEDs will light green and flash red to indicate the
charger is ready to charge.
3) Select the battery type LiPo/LiFe by the slide switch.
4) Select the proper charging current 1A/2A/3A by the slide switch.
5) Connect battery balance wire to balance port which is in front side of the charger, after 2 seconds, the
charger detects the voltage of the battery and starts to charge.
6) The charger starts charging. The LEDs will glow constant red. If the battery pack is 2-cell, Cell 1 and
Cell 2 LEDs will glow constant red; if the battery pack is 3-cell, Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3 LEDs will glow
