This function is for balancing the voltage of individual Lithium-polymer bat-

tery cells while charging. In order to use the Balance Mode, the battery must 

have a balance lead. Charging in this mode is diff erent from the normal modes 

because the built-in processor monitors the voltage of each individual cell and 

controls the input current fed into each cell in order to equalize the voltage. 

Use of a balance adaptor with any battery that has a balance lead will improve 

the performance and lifespan of your battery. 

BEFORE YOU BEGIN CHARGING YOUR BATTERY, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE WARNINGS AND SEFETY INFOR-
MATION CONTAINED ON PAGES 4-7.

See page 12 for the appropriate charging connections setup for this operation.

First, select the correct battery type by following the instructions on page 13. 

Once you have set the correct battery type, press the 

■ 

button once to return 

to the  “

USER SET PROGRAM->

“ screen. Press the 

■ 

button again to enter the 

PROGRAM SELECT

“ screen. On this screen you should 

see the type of battery you have selected. 
Press the 

► 

button once to enter the “

“ screen. 

Now use the 

 or 

 buttons to change the charge 

mode to “

BALANCE

“.  Press the 

► 

button again and the amp rate value will 

begin fl ashing. Use the 

 or 

 buttons to adjust the value to the desired rate. 

Follow the instructions provided with your battery when setting the amp rate. 
Press the 

► 

button again and the voltage value will begin fl ashing. Use the 

 

or 

 buttons to adjust the value to the desired rate. The voltage and cell count 

should match the values listed on the battery label. 
You are now ready to begin charging. Press and hold the 

► 

button until you 

see “

” followed by the  “

“ screen.

This screen displays the number of cells you set up as 

R

” and the number of cells detected by the processor 

as “

S

”. If both numbers are identical, you may press the  

► 

button to confi rm 

and begin charging. If these numbers do not match, press the 

■ 

button to re-

turn to the previous screen to carefully check the number of cells of the battery 

pack before proceeding.
