1500mAh to 2100mAh, which have a balance connector.
• Do not attempt to use this charger with NiCd, NiMH or different types of Lithium-Ion batteries as they are not compatible!
•
Do not leave the charger unattended while charging. Disconnect the battery and remove input power from charger
immediately if either becomes hot! However, it is normal for the charger get warm.
•
Disconnect the battery from the charger immediately and remove to a fi reproof location if the battery begins to swell
