VEHICLE PREPARATIONS

CHARGING THE VEHICLE BATTERY

1. Connect the AC power cord to the power slot on the charger, then

connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power source.

2. The Power LED and Charging LED will turn GREEN when the

charger is connected to the AC power source.

3. Connect the battery pack connector to the charge connector.
4. Press the On/Off button to charge the battery. The Charging LED

turns RED.

5. When the battery pack is fully charged, the Charging LED will turn

GREEN.

6. Press the On/Off button to stop charging. Disconnect the battery

pack connector from the charge connector.

CAUTION:

If at any time during the charge process the

battery pack(s) becomes hot to the touch, unplug the

battery immediately and discontinue the charge process.

The vehicle battery charger produces 2000 milliAmps (2 Amps) per
hour. Divide the mAh capacity on the label of a battery by 2000 to know
how long battery charging will require. For example, a fully
discharged 2400mAh battery requires 1.2 hours (72 minutes) to charge.

INITIAL CHARGE

Your Dynamite peak voltage detection charger includes safety circuitry
and programming. The charger will stop charging after 15 minutes if it
senses any issues that have come up in charging. The high electrical
resistance commonly found in new, unconditioned, Ni-MH batteries
can cause this safety circuit to turn off the charger before a full
charging cycle is complete. This is commonly known as a “false peak”
in your battery charge.
Should this occur during your ﬁ rst charge cycle, it does not necessarily
indicate a failure of either your charger or battery. Instead, it shows
that the charger is functioning properly and that the battery is not yet
fully conditioned.
To complete your ﬁ rst full charging cycle in the event of a false peak,
restart the charger by pressing the Start button again. Repeat this
process until the charge cycle continues to charge past 15 minutes.
It may take as many as 2 to 4 restarts to complete your ﬁ rst one or

two full charge cycles. Once your charger completes a charge cycle
longer than 15 minutes, your battery will be fully charged. A typical
ﬁ rst full charge cycle should run for 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the
self-discharge condition of the battery since it was shipped from the
factory.
Once your battery is properly conditioned through a few full charge
and discharge cycles, you will see normal operation of the charger by a
single press of the start button, followed by a 60- to 90- minute charge
cycle.

CHARGING WARNINGS

WARNING:

Failure to exercise caution while using this

product and comply with the following warnings could result

in product malfunction, electrical issues, excessive heat, FIRE, and
ultimately injury and property damage.

moisture at any time.

• Never charge batteries in extremely hot or cold places

(recommended between 50–80°F (10–26°C)) or place in direct
sunlight.

• Always use only Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. This charger

cannot charge batteries such as “heavy duty”, “alkaline”,
“mercury” or “lithium” battery.

• Always connect to the charger correctly.
• Always disconnect the battery and charger after charging and let

them cool between charges.

• Always inspect the battery before charging.
• Always terminate all processes and contact Horizon Hobby if the

product malfunctions.

• Always make sure you know the specifications of the battery to

be charged or discharged to ensure it meets the requirements of
this charger.

• Always constantly monitor the temperature of the battery pack
