WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
Please
bear
in
mind
the
following
points
before
commencing
charging
:
Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of
battery you are charging?
Did you set up adequate current for charging or discharging?
Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs
can be wired in parallel and in series, i.e. a 2-cell pack can be
3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in series).
Have you checked that all connections are firm and secure?
Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the
circuit.
Standard Battery Parameters
Be very careful to choose the correct voltage for different types of battery otherwise you
may cause damage to the batteries. Incorrect settings could cause the cells to fire or
explode.
