SKYRC e430 comes with the built in power supply. You can connect the AC power cord to the AC socket (100-240V AC)
directly.
Insert the AC power cord into the charger.
Insert the AC cord into a wall socket (100-240V). All LEDS will light for 1 second and the charge status LED will flash
green which indicates the charger is ready to charge.
Select the battery type LiPo/LiFe by the slide switch.
Select the proper charging current 1A/2A/3A by the slide switch.
Connect the battery main charge lead to battery socket which is in the front side of the charger and battery balance
wire to balance port which is in the right side of the charger.
The charger starts charging. The charge status LED and the cell status LED will glow constant red. If the battery
pack is 2-cell, Cell 1 and Cell 2 LEDs will glow constant red; if the battery pack is 3-cell, Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3
LEDs will glow constant red; and so on.
During the charging progress, when the charge status LED glows constant red, the charger is charging in CC mode;
when the charge status LED glows constant orange, the charger is charging in CV mode;
When the cell LED is flashing, this cell is discharging
for balancing.
When the battery is fully charged, the charge status
LED will glow constant green.
