Charge current
WARNING! The minimum charge rate of this char-
a
ger is 1A, this could be too high for certain batteries.
Using a too high charge current, can overload the
battery and result in fire, property damage or injury!
Always follow the battery manufacturer recommen-
dations.
After you have connected the battery, you can adjust the
charge current from 1A to 4A (in 1A steps), using the +
and – keys.
A higher charge current charges the battery faster. The
norm is to use a charge current of 1C, equal to one time
the battery capacity (ex. 4000mAh battery = 4A charge
current).We recommend using the lower charge rate
setting which is the closest to your battery capacity , for
example for a 1200mAh battery use 1A, for a 3300mAh
battery, use 3A.
NOTE : The charge current LED light in relation to the
setting and during the charge they indicate the effective
charge current. Depending on the battery type, the charge
current might be lower than the setting (not all the LED
will be lit).

LiPo batteries
WARNING! LiPo batteries must be equipped
a
with two connectors, one for charging and one for
balancing! Never charge a LiPo battery without
connecting its balancing connector to the correct
balancing port on the charger! Never use NiMH
mode to charge a LiPo battery, this will likely cause
the battery to overcharge, fail and risk causing fire,
property damage and personal injury.
CHARGING LIPO BATTERIES WITHOUT BALANC-
a
ING IS NOT POSSIBLE.
When a LiPo battery is properly connected to
the charger (battery connector + balancing
connector), LiPo charge mode is activated
and the LIPO CHARGE LED flashes green.
Balancing : The charger's integrated balancing ports use
JST-XH type connectors. If your battery uses a different
connector type, you will have to purchase compatible
adapters separately. LiPo batteries use different balance
connector sizes depending on the number of cells inside
them; make sure that you are connecting the balancing
connector into the correct balance port on the charger.
Thanks to the balancing function, the charger can measure
the individual cells voltage and adapt the charge process
accordingly. Depending on the cells unbalance and battery
state, the charge will take more or less time to complete.
