Safety information
Read the operating instructions carefully and the safety information in
particular. If you do not follow the safety information and information on
proper handling in these operating instructions, we will assume no liability for
any resulting personal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate
the warranty/guarantee.
a) General information
• This product is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. It may become a
dangerous toy for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high
humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, stop using it and prevent
unauthorised use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stress.
• Handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height may
damage the product.
• Consult a technician if you are not sure how to use or connect the product, or if
you have concerns about safety.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs may only be carried out by a technician
or a specialist repair centre.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,
contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
b) Connected devices
• Always observe the safety information and operating instructions of any other
devices which are connected to the product.
• Never charge batteries with integrated electronic components.
c) 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
tablecloth). 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
connecting 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.
• Do not place the charger on valuable furniture without using suitable protection.
Otherwise, there is a risk of scratches, pressure points and discolouration.
d) Electrical safety
• Before connecting the product to the mains, check that your local AC mains
voltage matches the specifications on the type plate.
• Only use an earthed mains socket (230 V/AC, 50 Hz) connected to the public grid
to power the product.
• Never pour any liquids over electrical devices or put objects filled with liquid next
to the device. If liquid or an object enters the interior of the device nevertheless,
first power down the respective socket (e.g. switch off the circuit breaker) and
then pull the mains plug from the mains socket. Discontinue use and take the
product to a specialist repair centre.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been taken from a cold room into
to a warm one. This may cause condensation to form, which can destroy the
product. Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it and
putting it into use. This may take several hours.
• The mains socket must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• Never unplug the mains plug by pulling on the cable. Always use the grips on
the plug.
• Unplug the mains plug from the mains socket if you do not plan to use the product
for an extended period of time.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket during
thunderstorms.
Operating instructions
V-Charge 200 Duo model building charger
Item no. 2267185
Intended use
The charger is used for charging and discharging NiMH/NiCd (1 - 15 cells), LiPo/Li-ion/LiFe
(1 - 6 cells) and lead batteries (1 - 10 cells, 2 V - 20 V). There are two independent outputs
(charging/discharging channels), which can be controlled via the two-row backlit LC display
and four buttons.
The charging current can be set between 0.1 A and 10.0 A (depending on the number of cells/
battery voltage). This charger also supports charging of LiHV batteries. The combined total
charging power for channel 1 + 2 is 100 W. Individually, channel L (left) can supply max. 100 W
and channel R (right) can supply max. 50 W.
The discharging current can be set between 0.1 A and 5.0 A (depending on the number of cells/
battery voltage). The maximum discharging power is 10 W.
The charger also offers a connection for an external temperature sensor (not included, can
be ordered as an accessory) at each output for battery monitoring. A balancer is integrated
for every output for multi-cell lithium batteries (two suitable external XH adapter cables are
included for use with batteries with 2 - 5 cells).
The charger has an in-built power adapter, enabling operation at mains voltage (100 - 240 V/
AC, 50/60 Hz) using the supplied mains cable. Alternatively, the charger can be powered by a
11 - 18 V/DC stabilised DC voltage (e.g. via an external lead vehicle battery or a suitable power
adapter). The cable required for the power supply is not included with this product. The product
also features a number of basic safety features such as short-circuit protection at the output
and overheat protection. The charger does NOT have short-circuit protection at the input.
This product is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with moisture, for
example in bathrooms, must be avoided.
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
instructions carefully and store them in a safe place. Only make this product available to third
parties together with its operating instructions.
This product complies with statutory, national and European regulations. All company and
