    Balancing Individual Cells Battery Discharging During the process of discharging, SkyRC S60 can monitor and balance each cell of the battery individually. Error message will be indicated and the process will be ended automatically if the voltage of any single one cell is abnormal.
  • Page 6 SPECIAL FEATURES Re-Peak Mode of NiMH/NiCd Battery In re-peak charge mode, the charger can peak charge the battery once, twice or three times in a row automatically. This is good for making certain the battery is fully charged. Delta-peak Sensitivity for NiMH/NiCd Delta-peak sensitivity for NiMH/NiCd battery: The automatic charge termination program based on the principle of the Delta-peak voltage detection.
  • Page 7: 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 8 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 9 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.
