Page 1 Thank you for purchasing the 6Cell multi Charger. You get a rapid charger/discharger with a built-in balance, which is computerized with a high performance microprocessor and specialized operating software. Please read this entire operating manual completely and attentively as it contains a wide variety of specific programming and safety information.
Page 2 cells of NiCd/NiMH and 6 series of Lithium batteries with maximum current of 5A. But there might be the limit of feeding current to a higher voltage of battery. Please refer to “Maximum circuit power charge”. Individual voltage balancer for Lithium batteries inside It has an individual-cell-voltage balancer inside.
Page 3 termination program works on the principle of the Delta- peak voltage detection. (NiCd/NiMH) Auto-charge current limit: When charging NiCd or NiMH at “AUTO” current mode, you can set the upper limit of charge current to avoid from high current charging. This is very useful when charging the low impedance and small capacity NiMH battery in “AUTO”...

Reverse the sequence when disconnection. 8.Do not connect more than one battery pack to charge at any one time.
Page 7 and series circuits mixed. You have to check the composition of the battery pack carefully before charging. 4)Be sure all the connections firm and safe, on intermittent contact at any point in the circuit. General notes on operating it . Charging A specific quantity of electrical energy is fed into the battery during charge process.

The screen displays the following information is sequence and the user can change the value of parameter on each screen.
Page 12 perceived incorrectly. To prevent the error, you can set the time term to verify the cell count by the processor. Normally, 10 minutes are enough to perceive the cell count correctly. For the battery of larger capacity, you may extend the time term. But if you set the time term too long for the battery of smaller capacity, the charge or discharge process can be finished within the time term with the erroneous cell count.
