Never leave the charger unattended when it is connected to its power supply. If any
malfunction is found, TERMINATE THE PROCESS AT ONCE and refer to the
operation manual.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
These warnings and safety notes are particularly important. Please follow the
instructions for maximum safety; otherwise the charger and the battery can be
damaged or at worst it can cause a fire.
Keep the charger well away from dust, damp, rain, heat, direct sunshine and vibration.
Never drop it.
The allowable input voltage is 11~18V DC
This charger and the battery should be put on a heat-resistant, noninflammable and
nonconductive surface. Never place them on a car seat, carpet or similar.
Keep all the inflammable volatile materials away from operating area.
Make sure you know the specifications of the battery to be charged or discharged to ensure it
meets the requirements of this charger. If the program is set up incorrectly, the battery and
charger may be damaged .It can cause fire or explosion due to overcharging. This warranty is
not valid for any damage or subsequent damage arising as a result of a misuse or failure to
observe the procedures outlined in this manual.

Standard Battery Parameters
Be very careful to choose the correct voltage for different types of battery otherwise
you may cause damage to the batteries. Incorrect settings could cause the cells to
fire or explode.
Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries.
• A battery pack which consists of different types of cells (including different
manufacturers)
• A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly discharged.
• Non-rechargeable batteries (Explosion hazard).
• Batteries that require a different charge technique from NiCd, NiMh, LiPo
or Gel cell (Pb, Lead acid).
• A faulty or damaged battery.
• A battery fitted with an integral charge circuit or a protection circuit.
• Batteries installed in a device or which are electrically linked to other components.
• Batteries that are not expressly stated by the manufacturer to be suitable for
the currents the charger delivers during the charge process.
Please bear in mind the following points before commencing charging:
• Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery you
are charging?
• Did you set up adequate current for charging or discharging?
• Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired in
parallel and in series, i.e. a 2 cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in series).
• Have you checked that all connections are firm and secure?
• Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.
Charging
During charge process, a specific quantity of electrical energy is fed into the battery. The
charge quantity is calculated by multiplying charge current by charge time. The maximum
permissible charge current varies depending on the battery type or its performance, and can
be found in the information by the battery manufacturer. Only batteries that are expressly
stated to be capable of quick-charge are allowed to be charged at rates higher than the
standard charge current.
Connect the battery to the terminal of the charger: red is positive and black is
negative. Due to the difference between resistance of cable and connector, the
charger can not detect resistance of the battery pack, the essential requirement
for the charger to work properly is that the charge lead should be of adequate
conductor cross-section, and high quality connectors which are normally goldplated
should be fitted to both ends.
Always refer to the manual by the battery manufacturer pertaining to charging
methods, recommended charging current and charging time. Especially, the
Lithium battery should be charged according the charging instruction provided
by the manufacturer strictly.
