ACTIVATOR 50 CHARGER USER’S GUIDE
Prior to plugging in your Lithium battery you MUST first select the type of
Lithium battery you’re going to be charging - either Li-Po, Li-Io or Li-Fe in the
USER SET PROGRAM / V.TYPE menu. For example, if you’re going to charge a Li-Po
battery, choose V.Type 3.7V LiPo. This setting is very important, so make sure you
check your battery type carefully and select the correct program option. If you select
the incorrect program option, the battery can explode during the charging process!
The procedure descriptions and menu screens shown in this section show charging
a Li-Po battery. These descriptions and actual menu screens will vary depending
on what type of battery you choose in the USER SET PROGRAM / V.TYPE menu.
