Page 5: Special Features
Special Features Twin-channel Charger PULSETEC ULTIMA 400 DUO allows you to connect 2 batteries to the charger simulta- neously, the charger will intelligently and automatically charge 2 batteries at once to their maximum capacities. The batteries being charged do not even need to have the same cell configuration or same battery chemistry. - Page 6 Adaptable to Various Type of Lithium Battery ULTIMA 400 DUO is adaptable to various types of lithium batteries, such as LiPo, LiIon and the new LiFe series of batteries.
- Page 7 Special Features order to prolong the usable lifetime of the battery. Re-Peak Mode of NiMH/NiCd Battery In re-peak charge mode, the charger can peak-charge the battery once, twice or thrice in a row automatically. This is good for making certain the battery stays fully charged. Delta-peak Sensitivity for NiMH/NiCd Delta-peak sensitivity for NiMH/NiCd battery: The automatic charge termination program based on the principle of the Delta-peak voltage detection.

Page 8: 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. If any malfunction is found, TERMINATE THE PROCESS AT ONCE and refer to the opera- tion manual. - Page 9 Warning and Safety Notes �� Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries. A battery pack which consists of different types of cells (including different manufacturers). A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly discharged. Non-rechargeable batteries (Explosion hazard).
- Page 10 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 capacity by the number of cells with total voltage stay the same. The voltages imbalance may cause fire or explosion .Lithium battery is recommended to charge in series.
