Powering the Charger
Your charger can be powered by plugging it into a standard 110V wall outlet or by using the provided
alligator clips to connect the charger to a 12V DC power source such as a 12V DC power supply or
an automobile battery. DO NOT use both an AC and DC power source at the same time.
To power the charger using DC power, connect the red (positive) alligator clip to the red terminal of
the DC power source and the black (negative) end of the alligator clips to the black terminal of the
DC power source. If you choose to power the charger with an automobile battery, NEVER do so with
the automobile running!
Charging Procedure
1. Connect the charger to your power source, plug the output wires/connector into the output
sockets (red = +/positive, black = -/negative), and plug the balance harness into the socket in the
front of the charger.
2. When connected to the power source, the charger’s LEDs will scroll on and off followed by a
beep. The currently selected charge rate LED and battery type LED will remain illuminated.
3. Select the charge rate based on the battery manufacturer’s instructions. Press and release
the Select/Start/Stop button to select the appropriate charge rate. Note: Generally, batteries should
be charged at a rate no higher than 1C.
4. Select the battery type by pressing and holding the Select/Start/Stop button. Always charge
LiPo batteries in LiPo mode and LiFe batteries in LiFe mode. If you are unsure which type of battery
you have, do not charge it!
5. Plug the battery into the charger output plug. Plug the battery’s balance connector into the
appropriate socket on the balance harness.
6. Push and hold the Start/Stop/Select button to begin the charging process. The green charge
rate LED will begin to blink slowly during the entire charging process. Note: If the balance connector
is not plugged into the balance harness, charging will not begin and the charger will repeatedly beep.
