Two 4mm banana sockets are located on the right side of the charger. Connect the battery
charge lead to these sockets with the positive (+) lead connected to the red socket and the
negative (-) lead to the black socket. The “No battery“ error message will be displayed if
trying to start to charge without connecting a battery. The “Open circuit” error message
will be displayed if a battery becomes disconnected from the charger while a function is in
progress. A “Reverse polarity” error message will be displayed if a battery is connected to
the charger in reverse.
Note.
In order to balance lithium batteries during charge or discharge, pls ensure that both battery
charge leads and balancing connector on the battery pack should be connected to both two
4mm output banana sockets and balancing port together on the charger.
If the battery charge leads are ONLY connected to the output banana sockets without connect-
ing the balancing connector on the lithium battery pack at the balancing port on the charger,
the charger should charge or discharge the connected lithium pack without balancing the pack.
