Be very careful to choose the correct voltage for different types of battery otherwise you may cause damage
to the batteries. Incorrect settings could cause the cells to fire or explode.

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 are require a different charge technique from NiCd, NiMh, LiPo or Gel cell
(Pb, Lead acid).
A faulty or damaged battery.
A battery fitted with an integral charge circuit or a protection circuit.
Batteries installed in a device or which are electrically linked to other components.
Batteries that are not expressly stated by the manufacturer to be suitable for the currents
the charger delivers during the charge process.
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.
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. The maximum permissible charge current varies
depending on the battery type or its performance, and can be found in the information by the battery
manufacturer. Only batteries that are expressly stated to be capable of quick-charge are allowed to be
charged at rates higher than the standard charge current.
