II. Battery & Charger

 

 

Your AllSteady-6 comes with a smart lithium ion battery. There is a built-in smart controller in each battery 
pack that monitors the voltage during charging and discharging so you will never have to worry about under 
or overcharging. It will take approximately 2 hours to charge an empty battery. 

 

WARNING BEFORE USE 

**Never 

leave charger unattended, exceed maximum charge rate, charge with non-approved batteries or 

charge batteries in the wrong mode.  

**Always 

ensure the battery you are charging meets the specifications of this charger and that the charger 

settings are correct. Not doing so can result in excessive heat and other related product malfunctions, which 
can lead to user injury or property damage. 

PLEASE DO NOT…

…attempt to charge a battery pack containing different types of batteries. 

 

…allow minors to charge battery packs.

…keep the battery away from any material that could be affected by heat. 

 

...monitor the charging area and have a fire extinguisher available at all times. 

 

…end the charging process if the battery becomes hot to the touch or starts to change form (swell) 
during the charge process.

Failure to follow the advised steps while using this product will not only result in product malfunction, 

but can also cause severe injury and property damage.
