d) Installation location
• The product may only be used in dry, enclosed spaces. It must not become damp
or wet, otherwise the mains power supply may cause a fatal electric shock!
•
Place the charger on a clean, level surface of a sufficient size.
•
Do not place the charger on flammable materials (e.g. a carpet, car seat or table
-
cloth). Always use a suitable non-flammable, heatproof surface. Keep the charger
away from flammable or combustible materials (e.g. curtains).
• Keep the ventilation openings on the bottom of the charger unobstructed and in
good condition.
• Ensure that the cable is not pinched or damaged by sharp edges. Route the con-
necting cable so that nobody can trip over it.
•
Do not place any containers filled with liquid (e.g. vases or plants) on or next
to the charger. Liquids that come into contact with the interior components may
destroy the charger and cause a fire or explosion. Disconnect the product from the
operating voltage immediately in this case. Discontinue use and take the charger
to a specialist repair centre.
• If any liquids get into the charger, switch off the mains socket to which the charger
is connected. To do this, switch the corresponding circuit breakers off or unscrew
the fuse. In addition, turn off the residual current device in order to disconnect all
poles of the socket from the mains voltage. You can then unplug the charger from
the mains socket. Discontinue use immediately and take the charger to a specia-
list repair shop, or dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner.
• Always use suitable protection when placing the charger on valuable furniture,
otherwise the charger may cause scratches, pressure points or discolouration.
e) Operation
• Always turn off the power to the charger before connecting or disconnecting re-
chargeable batteries.
• Never place devices with unsupported batteries or non-rechargeable batteries on
the charger. This may cause a fire or explosion!
•
Always set the correct charging voltage. Failure to do so may cause a fire or
explosion.
•
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation during use; never cover the charger. Lea
-
ve sufficient distance (at least 20 cm) between the charger and other objects. The
charger may cause a fire if it overheats!
Operating instructions
V-Charge 400 Duo charger for model batteries
Item no. 2267182
Intended use
This product is designed to charge up to two battery packs on two charging terminals. The ba-
lancer connection can be used to ensure even charging of the individual cells in the battery
pack. The charging current can be adjusted from 0.1 to 10 A, and Li-HV battery charging is also
supported. 1-6S LiPo/LiHV/Li-ion/LiFe batteries, 1-16S NiCd/NiMH batteries and 1-12S lead-
acid batteries can be charged directly via the designated connections. The charger can charge
batteries with a capacity of up to 50,000 mAh.
It is also possible to connect an external temperature sensor to monitor the battery. Battery
discharging is performed using a discharge power of up to 6 W. When an external discharge
device is used, a discharging power of 200 W can be provided for rapid discharge.
The product is also suitable for inductive (wireless) charging of batteries in compatible smart-
phones with Qi technology and other mobile devices. Setting, monitoring and controlling the
functions is made easier by a clear LCD display. The product also features a number of basic
safety features such as short-circuit protection at the output and overheat protection.
An AC or DC voltage can be used for the voltage/power supply of the charger (see "Technical
data"). The factory-provided power cable is designed for use with a mains AC voltage. The
charger can also be powered by a rechargeable battery during outdoor activities in dry environ-
ments (see information in "Initial operation, b) Connecting to the power supply"). The requisite
cable is not included with this product.
This product is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with moisture
(e.g. in a bathroom) must be avoided under all circumstances.
For safety and approval purposes, do not rebuild and/or modify this product. Using the product
for purposes other than those described above may damage the product. In addition, improper
use can cause hazards such as a short circuit, fire or electric shock. Read the operating instruc
-
tions carefully and store them in a safe place. Only make this product available to third parties
