2) Press the STOP or DEC buttons to scroll to
the PROGRAM SELECT LiPo menu (or the
LiIon or LiFe menu depending on the battery
type you selected in the USER SET PROGRAM / V.TYPE menu), then press
the ENTER button to open the menu. Press the DEC or INC buttons to scroll
to the FAST CHG menu.
The first line shows the type of battery you selected in the USER SET
PROGRAM / V.TYPE menu.
Make sure this matches the type of battery
you’ll be charging.
If it doesn’t, return to the USER SET PROGRAM / V.TYPE
menu and select the correct battery type.
3) Press the ENTER button. The charge
current value will flash. Press the DEC or
INC buttons to select the desired charge
current, then press the ENTER button to store that value.
• Charge current values range from 0.1 to 7.0 amps. We recommend 1C or
Less, but this can vary. Check with the battery manufacturer first.
4) The input voltage value will be flashing.
Press the DEC or INC buttons to select the
desired input voltage, then press the ENTER
button to store that value.
• Input voltage values range from Auto and 1S to 6S. Any value selected other
than Auto should match the nominal input voltage of your battery.

This mode is used for fast charging 1 to 6S Lithium batteries. Normally, the
charge current gets lower as the charging process nears its end. To finish the
charging process sooner, this charge mode eliminates certain parts of the CV
charging process. The final capacity may be a bit smaller than normal charging,
but the charging time will be reduced.
Do not use this charge mode with 2 to 6S Lithium batteries that don’t
feature a balance connector or an internal balance circuit. Using this charge
mode with a multi-cell Lithium battery without a balance connector or an internal
balance circuit can result in fire and/or explosion!
1) Connect the charger to its power source, plug the output power adapter
cord into the power outputs of the charger, then plug your Lithium battery
into the output power adapter cord. If your battery features a balance
connector, plug it into the correct balance port on the charger. If your battery
does not feature an XH balance connector, an adaptor board can be used
(available separately).
