Thank you for purchasing the E-Flite™ Summit™ Peak Prediction Charger. The Summit is DC-
powered and will peak charge 4- to 7-cell (4.8-8.4V) Ni-Cd and Ni-MH battery packs. The Summit’s
smart charging technology will make certain that your batteries receive a perfect peak every time,
with no danger of over-charging. The Summit has variable charge rates from 250 to 4500mAh, making
it ideal to charge slow flyer packs, airplane receiver packs, and sub-C packs for electric gliders.

Supplying Power to the Summit
The Summit is powered by connecting it to a 12V power source, such as a 12V sealed battery
(HAN102), a 12V automobile battery (car must be not be running), or through your field box
power panel.
DC Power
Attach the red (positive) banana plug to the red (positive) terminal on your 12V battery or power
panel. Next, attach the black (negative) banana plug to the black (negative) terminal. Alligator
clip adapters are also provided if you choose to power your charger with a 12V hobby battery.
Once your charger is powered up, it will "beep" once, and the LED will light green, then red, then
the LED will go out.
Variable Charge Rates
The Summit is equipped with variable charge rates from 250mAh to 4500mAh. Simply choose
the charge rate you prefer by turning the dial. If you increase or decrease the charge rate
while charging, the LED will flash red until it reaches the new desired setting. Once the charger
has adapted to the new selected charge rate, it will begin to charge again and the LED will
turn solid green.
Charging 6/7-Cell Slow Flyer Packs
The Summit includes a BEC charge lead so that you can charge any 6/7-cell slow flyer pack that has
a BEC (JST) connector. A Tamiya charge lead is also included.
To charge the battery:
• Hook up the end of the leads to the terminal of the charger, making sure to attach the red of the
lead wire to the red charger hook-up. Next, attach the black lead wire to the black charger hook up.
• Connect the Summit to an appropriate DC power supply. The beeper will sound once and the LED
will blink green, then red, then it will stop blinking.
• Plug the connector of the charge lead into the connector of the battery pack. The beeper will sound
once, and the LED will flash green.
• Select the charge rate for your battery pack.
Note:
To charge 250mAh or lower capacity battery packs, set the charge rate at 250mA. Higher
capacity battery packs can be charged to a MAXIMUM charge rate of two times the rated capacity.
(ex. 750mAh pack maximum charge rate is 1.5 amps or 1500mA.)
