• Handle the product with care. 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 de-
vices which are connected to the product.
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!
• Select a stable, flat, clean and sufficiently large place for the charger.
• 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).
• Ensure that the cable is not pinched or damaged by sharp edges. Lay the connec-
tion cable such that nobody will 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, turn off the corresponding circuit breaker 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 specialist
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.
d) Operation
• Never connect devices with unsupported batteries or non-rechargeable batteries
to 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!
• The charger may be operated via a mains voltage or DC voltage. The device can
be operated either with a 100 - 240 V/AC voltage or with a 7 - 17 V/DC voltage.
Make sure that you use the correct input voltages. Always ensure the correct po-
larity.
• Never leave the product unattended during use. Although there is a wide range of
comprehensive safety mechanisms on the device, it is impossible to exclude the
possibility of malfunctions or problems occurring while charging.
• When connecting the battery packs, ensure that the input and output are connec-
ted with the correct polarity.
• Never wear metal or conductive objects (e.g. jewellery such as necklaces, brace-
lets or rings) when handling the charger. This may result in a short circuit, which
can cause a fire or explosion.
• Only use the product in temperate climates. It is not suitable for use in tropical
climates.
• Do not use the product in the immediate vicinity of strong magnetic or electroma-
gnetic fields, transmitter aerials or HF generators. These may affect the electronic
control system.
• Do not place the product directly next to devices with strong electrical or magnetic
fields (e.g. transformers, motors, cordless telephones and wireless devices), as
these can prevent the product from working properly.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room
into a warm one. This may generate condensation, which can cause the product
to malfunction or damage the interior components. This may cause a fatal electric
shock! Allow the product to reach room temperature before using it. This may take
several hours.
• If the product is not going to be used for a prolonged period of time (e.g. storage),
disconnect it from the power supply by removing the power cable from the mains
socket.
• Trained personnel must supervise the use of electrical appliances in schools,
training facilities and DIY workshops.
• For installations in industrial facilities, follow the accident prevention regulations
for electrical systems and equipment issued by the government safety organisati-
on or the corresponding authority for your country.
Operating instructions
V-Charge Eco 6x1S Charger for model batteries
Item No. 2267183
Intended use
This product is designed to charge up to six LiPo/LiHV batteries with one cell. The charging
current can be adjusted from 0.1 to 1.0 A. Setting, monitoring and controlling the functions is
made easier by a clear LCD display. The charger also features a range of basic safety functions
such as reverse polarity protection and a function to protect the batteries against overcharging.
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
DC power supply can be provided via a laboratory power supply unit or other similar device.
The charger can also be powered by a rechargeable battery during outdoor activities in dry
environments. There is no short-circuit protection for the power supply at the inputs! Follow the
instructions in "Initial operation, b) Connecting to the power supply". The required connection
cable is not included with the 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
together with its operating instructions.
