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 operation 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). Batteries that require a different charge technique from NiCd, NiMh, LiPo or Gel cell (Pb, Lead acid).
- Page 10 WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Attention should be paid to the connection of Lithium battery especially. Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily. 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.

Page 14: Initial Parameter Setup (Users Set Up)
INITIAL PARAMETER SETUP (USERS SET UP) Initial parameter set up (Users set up) Ultimate 200W×2 will be operated with the default value of the essential user settings when it is connected to a 12V battery for the first time. The screen displays the following information in sequence and the user can change the value of parameter on each screen. - Page 15 INITIAL PARAMETER SETUP (USERS SET UP) An optional feature using temperature probe contacting the surface of battery, the temperature cut-off can be on or off. If it is on, set the maximum temperature at which the charger should allow battery to reach during charge. Once a battery reaches this temperature during charge, the process will be terminated to protect the battery.
