5) Press and hold the START button for more than
3 seconds to begin the charging process. An
automatic battery check will be performed and
the confirmation screen will be displayed. ‘R:’ shows the number of cells found
by the charger and ‘S:’ shows the number of cells selected by you previously.
If both numbers are identical, you can begin charging by pressing the ENTER
button. If the numbers don’t match, press the STOP button to go back to the
previous screen, then carefully check the number of cells and voltage of the
battery to be charged.
When the charging process begins, the status
screen will be displayed. This screen shows
various data about the current charging
process, including the elapsed charge time,
the current voltage of the battery and the
current charged capacity in mAh.

This mode is used for balance charging 2 to 6 cell Lithium batteries. If your Lithium
battery features a balance plug, we recommend using this charge mode. If your
Lithium battery doesn’t feature a balance connector, see the
Lithium Battery Standard
Mode Charging section on the previous page.
Balance charging balances the individual voltages of Lithium cells in the battery to
be charged. In this mode, the charging process will be different from the standard
mode charging process. The charger will monitor the voltage of each cell in the
battery and control the charge current fed to each cell. This will normalize the
voltage of all cells in the battery and it will help to prevent over-charging of one
or more cells.
1) Connect the charger to its power source, plug the output power adapter cord
into the power outputs of the charger, then plug your Lithium battery into the
output power adapter cord. Plug the balance connector into the correct balance
port on the charger. If your battery does not feature an XH balance connector,
an adaptor board can be used.
2) Press the STOP or DEC buttons to scroll to
the PROGRAM SELECT LI-PO menu (or the
LI-IO or LI-FE menu depending on the battery
type you selected in the USER SET PROGRAM / V.TYPE menu), then press the
ENTER button to open the menu. Press the DEC or INC buttons to scroll to the
BALANCE menu.
