SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not attach the charger to both the AC and DC power sources at the same time.
• Never connect the input jack (DC input) to the AC power.
• Disconnect the docking power supplier while connecting the DC power source to the rear terminal of the charger.
• Program the input power setup correctly during the USER SETUP.
• During the USER SETUP, program the correct settings for the docking power supplier.
• CAUTION: Using an automobile battery as a power source can result in a complete discharge/draining of
the automotive battery.
• Supply sufficient power to the charger. The max output power for CH1 is 500W and for CH2 is 30W.
• If possible, place the battery in a safety bag during the charging or discharging process.
• Pay attention to the charger during use. Do not leave the charger unattended.
• If the charger becomes hot, disconnect the battery and remove the input power immediately.
• Allow the charger and the battery to completely cool down before reconnecting.
• Do not attempt to charge dead or damaged batteries.
• Use identical batteries in the charger.
• Do not attempt to charge a battery pack containing different types of batteries.
• Do not use a too short or damaged cables.
• Ensure that each channel has a completely charged pack.
• Do not use near a flammable object. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Explosive gases may be generated during
the operation of this product.
• Do not reverse the positive and negative terminals. An incorrect connection will damage the batteries and may cause
damage to the charger.
• Use only rechargeable batteries that meet the product specifications of this charger.
• Do not allow water, moisture or foreign objects into the charger.
• Do not use in humid locations. Do not operate with wet hands.
• Do not attempt to dismantle the charger.
• Do not use on fleecy materials, such as carpets, blankets, beds and cushions.
• Use on hard flat surfaces.
• Do not use in the extreme cold or heat, as the charger may not operate using the expected values, causing failures
in the operation.
• Use in a well-ventilated location. Do not block the cooling fan (rear) and the air inlet (front).
• Ensure that the TFT panel is visible during the operation of this product.
• The TFT panel might not be visible under direct sunlight.
• We strongly recommend balancing Lithium packs. An unbalanced pack can cause damage and, in extreme cases, can
cause a fire.
• Connect the battery pack to a balance board. Without this connection, either the batteries or the charger may be
damaged.
• Do not charge a battery with a voltage below 2.8V per cell. If this type of battery is forced to charge, the pack can be
damaged and, in extreme cases, can result in a fire.
• The default charging current is 1C. Monitor the voltage and the temperature of batteries during charging operations
that may exceed 1C.
• Do not charge Lithium Polymer battery packs to values that exceed 4.2V per cell.
• Always disconnect the battery after charging. Allow the charger to cool between the charges.
• Do not charge the batteries inside a car. Never use a cigarette socket as a power source.
• Do not charge the batteries using a digital camera, a camcorder, or a cell phone, as the power source.
• Please use insulating gloves during the handling of the batteries, the charger or the wires.
• Failure to do so may cause personal injury, as the voltage differential between the input and the output can result in
the formation of sparks.
