WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
Please bear in mind the following points before commencing charging:
Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery you are charging?
Did you set up adequate current for charging or discharging?
Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel
and in series, i.e. a 2-cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in series).
Have you checked that all connections are firm and secure? Make sure there are no
intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.
