Introduction:
Thank you for choosing the Promax Black Widow Elite AC/DC Peak-Detection
charger. This charger is designed to charge 1 (1.2V) to 16 (19.2V)
Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride cells ranging from 50mAH and
higher. This charger features an easy to read LCD screen that displays
battery information during the charging process. The charger also features
a one-touch discharger that can be operated in either automatic mode or
"forced" mode. An internal cooling fan is featured to keep the charger cool.
Please read through this operations sheet completely before using your
charger for the first time.
Please Read and Understand the Following Warnings:
●
This charger is designed to charge 1.2V - 19.2V NiCD and NiMH battery
packs/cells ONLY. Do not attempt to charge any other type of battery, such
as gel cell, lead-acid, Lithium or Alkaline batteries.
●
Never connect the AC power and the DC power input cords at the same
time and never allow the 12V DC alligator clips to touch or short out.
●
When the charger is connected to an automotive battery (12V DC power
source) do not start the automobile’s engine. The engine can be running
during the charge process, but starting or turning off the engine during the
charge process can damage the charger and/or your battery pack.
●
Do not allow children to use the charger without adult supervision.
●
Never leave the charger connected to a power source when not in use.
●
Never leave the charger unattended when the charger is in use.
●
Never place the charger on a carpeted surface during use.
●
Always disconnect the battery pack from the charger if the battery pack
becomes unusually warm or hot.
●
Avoid using the charger in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can cause the
charger to overheat and/or the LCD screen to be damaged.
●
Always check the battery pack's polarity and condition before connecting it
to the charger.
●
If using the charger to charge Tx battery packs, you must remove the
battery pack from the Tx first. Do not attempt to charge the battery pack
while still in the Tx.
●
Always allow the battery pack to cool before recharging it.
Black Widow Elite Safety Features:
●
If the battery pack polarity is reversed or if the battery pack has a short
circuit, the charger will shut off and the LEDs on the front of the charger will
blink rapidly. If this happens, unplug the battery pack from the charger
and double-check all wires for polarity and short circuits before reattaching
the battery pack to the charger.
●
The charger features a manually selectable maximum charge time that
can be set to prevent your battery from overcharging. If the battery pack
malfunctions or misses the “peak," the timer will automatically stop the
charging process after the elapsed time you've input into the charger.
