SPECIAL FEATURES Automatic charging current limit You can set up the upper limit of the charging current when charging your NiCd or NiMH battery; it is useful for the NiMH battery of low impedance and capacity in the 'AUTO' charging mode.
LITHIUM POLYMER BALANCE CHARGE PROGRAM CONNECTION DIAGRAM This diagram shows the correct way to connect your battery to the e6650 charger while charging in the balance charge program mode only. WARNING: Failure to connect as shown in this diagram will damage this charger.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES These warnings and safety notes are particularly important. Please follow the instructions for maximum safety; otherwise the charger and the battery can be damaged or at worst it can cause a fire. Never leave the charger unattended when it is connected to its power supply.

WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES To avoid short circuit between the charge lead always connect the charge cable to the charger first, then connect the battery. Reverse the sequence when disconnecting. Do not connect more than one battery pack to this charger at any one time.

WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Have you checked that all connections are firm and secure? Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit. Charging During charge process, a specific quantity of electrical energy is fed into the battery. The charge quantity is calculated by multiplying charge current by charge time.
Page 11
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Please get highlighted that Lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in series. In the parallel connection, the battery’s capacity is calculated by multiplying single battery’s capacity by the number of cells with total voltage stay the same. The voltage’s imbalance may cause fire or explosion .Lithium battery is recommended to charge in series.
If it is different from correct value the battery may be exploded during charge process. e6650 recognize the cell count of Lithium battery automatically at the beginning of charge or LiPo/LiIo/LiFe discharge process to avoid from erroneous CHK Time 10min setting by user.
Page 14
INITIAL PARAMETER SETUP (USERS SET UP) recognizes the cell count incorrectly at the beginning of charge or discharge process, you may extend the time. Otherwise, you had better use with the default value. This shows the trigger voltage for automatic NIMH Sensitivity charge termination of NiMH and NiCd battery.
Page 15
INITIAL PARAMETER SETUP (USERS SET UP) When the charge process starts, the integrated safety timer starts to run simultaneously. If error detected or the termination circuit can not detect Safety time whether the battery is fully charged or not, this 120min unit is programmed to prevent overcharging.
LITHIUM (LIPO/LILON/LIFE) PROGRAM LITHIUM (LIPO/LILON/LIFE) PROGRAM The program is only suitable for charging/discharging Lithium(LiPo/ LiIon/LiFe) batteries with a nominal voltage of 3.3/3.6/3.7V/cell. Different batteries have different charge technique. There are two methods termed as constant voltage and constant current. The charge current varies according to battery capacity and specification.
CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERY IN THE CHARGE MODE CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERY IN THE CHARGE MODE This charging mode is for charging Li-Po/Ion/Fe battery without balance lead. BALANCE CHARGING OF LITHIUM BATTERY The left side of the first line shows the type LiPo BALANCE of battery you choose.
FAST CHARGING OF LITHIUM BATTERY FAST CHARGING OF LITHIUM BATTERY The value on the left side of the second lines LiPo FAST CHG sets the charge current. The value on the 2.0A 11.1V(3S) right side of the second lines sets the battery pack's voltage.
STORAGE CONTROL OF LITHIUM BATTERY STORAGE CONTROL OF LITHIUM BATTERY At this screen, you can set up the current LiPo STORAGE and voltage of the battery pack. Charging 1.0A 11.1V(3S) and discharging will make the batteries come to the voltage level of “Storage” state. Batt type Start ‘>3 seconds’...
The processor monitors voltage of each cell when the battery packs are during its “storage” and “discharging” process. If voltage of any cell is abnormal, e6650 will show error message and terminate the program forcibly. So if there is battery damage or disconnection, you can see the error message and press INC to know which cell is damaged.
CHARGING OF NICD/NIMH BATTERY CHARGING OF NICD/NIMH BATTERY This program is for charging of NiCd/NiMH NIMH CHARGE Aut batteries associated with R/C models LIMIT 5.0A applications. You can press START/ENTER key to make it blink and then INC or DEC to change the parameter value.
CHARGE/DISCHARGE AND DISCHARGE/CHARGE CYCLE OF NICD/NIMH BATTERY CHARGE/DISCHARGE AND DISCHARGE/CHARGE CYCLE OF NICD/NIMH BATTERY You can set up sequence on the left and the NIMH CYCLE number of cycles on the right. Range of the DCHG>CHG cycle number is 1-5. Batt type Start ‘>3 seconds’...
CHARGING PB (LEAD-ACID) BATTERY IN THE CHARGE MODE CHARGING PB (LEAD-ACID) BATTERY IN THE CHARGE MODE This program is only suitable for charging Pb (lead-acid) battery with nominal voltage from 2 to 20V. Pb(lead-acid)battery is completely different from NiCd/NiMH battery. These batteries can only deliver current lower in comparison to their capacity.
DISCHARGING OF THE PB BATTERY DATA STORAGE PROGRAM For your convenience, e6650 has a data storage and load program. It can store five battery data representing the respective specifications of batteries. You can call back the data when charging or discharging without setting up the program again.
LOAD DATA PROGRAM LOAD DATA PROGRAM This program is to load the data stored at the “save data” program. Press START/ENTER key to make the data field blink and press INC or DEC for more than 3 seconds to load the data. PROGRAM SELECT LOAD DATA...
VARIOUS INFORMATION IN THE PROGRAM VARIOUS INFORMATION IN THE PROGRAM You can inquire various information on the LCD screen during the charging and discharging process. Press DEC key, the charger will display users' setting. You can press INC key to monitor voltage of each cell while the battery is connected with each port of the charger.
WARNING AND ERROR MESSAGE WARNING AND ERROR MESSAGE e6650 incorporates a variety of functions for the systems to verify processes and the state of the electronics. In case of an error the screen will display the cause of error and emit an audible sound.
This warranty is not valid for any damage or subsequent damage arising as a result of misuse, modification or as a result of failure to observe the procedures outlined in this manual.
