Step 2

On each Charge port you will see a small slider switch. This slider 
switch determines what battery chemistry and charge voltage is 
applied to each charge port.  You will see that the charger accom-
modates LiPo, Lion and LiFe. 

Slider Switch

PLEASE NOTE:
BEFORE CONNECTING THE BATTERY OR 12volt POWER please set 
the slider switch to match the battery chemistry. Failure to do 
so could result in the battery pack receiving an incorrect charge 
voltage and might damage the battery pack. 

I Charge is designed to use with batteries that have an internal 
battery balancing charge circuit. 
If you are an advanced user then you know that some battery 
chemistries do not require charge balancing however Advanced 
Radio states that I Charger should be used only with self balanc

-

ing batteries.

Step 3

On the opposite end of the charger you will notice that there are 
three sets of plug in pins per port or board. 
On the right you have the battery pins (BAT) , next is the F-Bus 
pins and finally the TMP or temperature sensor pins. You can plug 
your battery into the bat pins either way as the center is positive 
and both outside pins are negative.
 
The F-Bus is for future developments. 

The TMP port can be used with the optional temperature sensor. 
These can be placed on the battery to warn of excessive tempera-
ture.
