Congratulations for choosing the Advanced Radio Intelligent Micro 

Charger - The worlds first Automatic Intelligent charger designed 

to mount directly in your giant scale model.

Gone are the days when you had to carry a charger to the field. All 

you need with the Advanced Radio I Charger is a 12 volt DC power 

supply.

Before you install I Charger please take the time to 

read these instructions. A few simple steps will have 

you successfully using this easy-to-use product in no 

time at all. 

I Charger Features and Specifications:

- 32 bit Processor for crisp display and highest resolution in the industry.

- Bright full colour OLED for easy day time reading of pack voltage, 

instantaneous charge current and mAh charge amount into the pack

- Completely automatic charging, simply connect 12 volts.

- Available 2 battery pack, 3 battery pack and 4 battery pack configura

-

tion.

- Charges at up to 2A per pack. Charge current is automatically selected 

by the advance charge algorithm.

- Auto on-board over heat function limits charge current if temperature 

becomes too high.

- Optional external temperature sensors for charging LiPo pack. Au

-

tomatically stops charge function if pack temperature climbs above 

40C/100F. Charge function resumes when temperature decreases to 

safe working level.

- Maximum input voltage 15 volts.

- Minimum input voltage 11 volts.  

- Weight is only 78 grams 2.9oz (3 stack version).

- Dimensions (3 Stack Version) 62mm x 47mm x 35mm (2.4 x 1.86 x 1.43 

inches).

for connecting to 12 volts.

DO’S

 and 

DON’TS

I Charge is designed to charge 2 cell Life (6.6v), Lion(8.2v)  and 

Lipo (8.4v) batteries and is available 2 battery pack, 3 battery pack 

or 4 battery pack configurations. You simply set the battery type 

on each stack slider switch. Connect your battery and when ready 

to charge simply connect a 12 volts DC power supply. It is really 

that simple.

I Charger is also supplied with an ultra connector and an external 

DC charge socket for mounting in your model. I Charge can also 

be used as a stand alone charger.

  

I Charger MOUNTING POSITION

The Advanced Radio I Charger will get hot when charging bat

-

teries. YOU MUST provide adequate space when mounting the I 

Charger in your model. It is advised that you mount the I Charger 

vertically so that thermal cooling is maximized. Failure to pro

-

vide an adequate cooling environment will result in lower charge 

currents and a longer charge time.

CHARGING WITH I Charger 

While the I Charger comes with the utmost in safety design, 

Advanced Radio states that you should NEVER leave Lithium bat

-

teries unattended while charging.

I Charger requires a 12 volt DC filtered supply to operate. This 

supply can be your car battery or a high quality 12 volt DC power 

pack. 

DO NOT USE I Charger with power supply voltages higher 

than 15 volts DC. High supply voltages could damage the input 

filtering capacitors and while reparable this will not be covered 

under warranty.
