    Adaptable to various type of lithium battery SKYRC QUATTRO B6AC is adaptable to various types of Lithium batteries, such as Li-ion, LiPo and the new LiFe series of batteries.
  • Page 6 SPECIAL FEATURES Fast and storage mode of lithium battery Purposes to charge Lithium battery varies, 'fast' charge reduce the duration of charging, whereas 'store' state can control the final voltage of your battery, so as to store for a long time and protect useful time of the battery.
  • Page 7: Warning And Safety Notes

    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.
  • Page 8 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.
  • Page 9 WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES 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.
  • Page 10 WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Discharging The main purpose of discharging is to clean the residual capacity of the battery, or to reduce the battery' voltage to a defined level. The same attention should be paid to the discharging process as the charging process. The final discharge voltage should be set up correctly to avoid deep discharging.

    LITHIUM BATTERY(LIPO/LILO/LIFE)PROGRAM CONNECTING THE CHARGER SKYRC QUATTRO B6AC comes with the built in switching power supply. You can connect the AC power cord directly to the main AC socket. (100-240V AC) For attaching directly to 12V car batteries. It is critically important that you use a fully charged 13.8V car battery .
  • Page 13: Charging Lithium Battery At Balance Mode

    LITHIUM BATTERY(LIPO/LILO/LIFE)PROGRAM These programs are only suitable for charging and discharging Lithium batteries with a nominal voltage of 3.3V, 3.6V and 3.7V per cell. These batteries need to adopt different charge technique is termed a constant voltage(CV) and constant current(CC) method. The charge current varies according to the battery capacity and performance.

    LITHIUM BATTERY(LIPO/LILO/LIFE)PROGRAM The left side of the first line shows the type of battery you choose. The value on the left of the second line of the charger is current user set. After setting the current and voltage, press Start/Enter key for more than 3 seconds to start the process.(charge current: Batt type 0.1-6.0A, voltage: 1S-6S).
  • Page 15: Storage' Control Of Lithium Battery

    LITHIUM BATTERY(LIPO/LILO/LIFE)PROGRAM 'STORAGE' CONTROL OF LITHIUM BATTERY This is for charging or discharging Lithium battery not to be used for the time being. The program will determine to charge or discharge the battery to the certain voltage depending on the voltage of the battery at its initial stage. They are different from the type of the battery, 3.75V for LiIo, 3.85V for LiPo and 3.3V for LiFe per cell.
