Once connected, the battery will go through a precharge countdown of 10
seconds, then will begin charging automatically. To skip the precharge
countdown, hold the 'Charge' button for 2 seconds. Cell voltages and battery
levels will be indicated on the LCD screen.
Balancing Instructions
When the battery is connected to the charger, individual cell voltages will be
displayed on the LCD screen. Balancing the batteries should be a part of the
charging sequence about every 10th charge, or whenever one or more of the cell
voltages is significantly different than the other cells after a full charge.
To balance the battery cells while charging, first connect each end of the balance
cable into the corresponding balance ports on the battery and charger. Follow
the charging instructions above to conduct a balanced charge.
Storage Mode Instructions
If a battery will be shipped or will not be used for long periods of time, it is highly
recommended that the battery is placed into storage mode. Depending on the
current battery percentage, placing the battery into storage mode will either
charge or discharge the battery to a voltage that is most stable for shipping and
sitting for long periods of time.
To place a battery into storage mode, simply plug the main connector into the
charger and hold the storage button for 5 seconds. The charger will beep, fans will
begin to spin, and the LCD screen will indicate that storage mode has begun.
