than that is not necessary and may cause them to false peak at the beginning of a charge. By putting a resistor across
each cell, all cells will be bully discharged.

FUSES

Sooner or later you will blow a fuse by hooking up the supply backwards. It is best to go out and buy extra 15 amp
fuses in parallel. It is almost certain if one of these fuses are blown, they both are blown. They will fatigue after a
while and finally blow. How long they last will depend on the discharge current. The higher the normal discharge
current used, the shorter the life. They are the fuses that are in series with the battery pack. The single fuse in its
own opening is for the power supply.
TEMPERATURE RANGE 32 TO 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
WHEN IT DOESN'T
Make sure that you have connected the supply leads first and then the battery leads.
Check the fuses to make sure that they are not blown. See section on FUSES.
Please call us before you send the unit back. We may be able to tell you if the unit is malfunctioning or if there is
some operating consideration that needs further explanation. Phone no. (815) 874-8001.

REPAIR POLICY

All repairs are completed within 5 working days. Total charges will include parts cost, labor and return shipping.
Include your return address, a daytime phone number and an explanation of the problem.

SUGGESTED BATTERY MATCHING SETUP

A 20 amp discharge rate is recommended for matching Sanyo SCR's, SCRC's and PURPLE P-170'S. SCR
discharge times can run between 230 to 300 seconds, SCRC's and P-170's run between 300 and 360 seconds.
SCRC batteries are less stable and less rugged than SCR's. We recommend a charge rate of 3 to 5 amps for RED
SCR's, BLACK SCRC's and PURPLE P-170. Set the cutoff volts at 0.9 volts per cell. Ie: 6 cell at 5.4 volts. This is
the default value from the factory. Set the peak detect drop-back volts at 0.03 for a single cell and 0.05 for packs.
Set delay times at 120 seconds. Use a 2 peak charge (#PK2) set on the charge screen.

BATTERY MATCHING TECHNIQUES

The primary number used for matching batteries is the discharge time. Group cells in a pack as close as you can.
The discharge average voltage is an important number for matching RED SCR's or BLACK SCRC's for stock class.
You want as high a discharge average voltage as you can get. Use the discharge time first as the primary number,
then the discharge average voltage to grade with. The higher the discharge average voltage the more punch the
motor will have. Use the relative internal resistance also as a grading factor for punch. The lower the resistance the
better the punch. This combination will give you the most speed and punch. For SCRC or P-170 packs with
modified motors, the relative internal resistance should be the second number to grade by. The discharge average
voltage is not as important because you can always go to a lower wind motor to compensate for the voltage. To
obtain the best possible matching, cycle new batteries 3 or 4 times. This will insure the maximum performance from
each cell.
