Warnings and safety notes

Never  leave 

BLACKMAX

  unsupervised  during  the  Charge/Discharge  process.  If  any 

abnormal  charging  characteristic  is  observed,  immediately  terminate  the  process  and 

refer to the operation manual.
To maximise the life of your 

BLACKMAX charger 

keep it away from dust, damp, rain, 

heat direct sunshine and vibration. Be careful not to drop your 

BLACKMAX charger

The 

BLACKMAX 

circuitry will operate when powered from a 10-18V DC only. AC power 

is possible with the optional 

Booma-RC

 

BLACKMAX

 AC power adaptor.

This unit and the battery to charge or discharge should be set up on a heat-resistant, 

non-inflammable and non-conductive surface. Never place them on a car seat, carpet or 

similar. Keep all the inflammable volatile materials well away from operating area.

It  is  your  responsibility  to  understand  the  chemistry  of  the  battery  to  be  charged  or 

discharged.  If  incorrect  battery  chemistry  is  selected  the  battery  can  be  damaged  or 

destroyed  and  fire  may  result.    Please  read  and  thoroughly  understand  the  following 

battery information.

Allowable fast charge current:0.4C or less

 

 

Discharge voltage cut off level:1.50V/cell or higher

To avoid short-circuits when connecting batteries to 

BLACKMAX

, always connect the 

charge cable to the unit first and only then to the battery.
