The maximum charge rate is 5.3 amps for our example 5300 mAh battery, and 3.3 amps for our
example 3300 mAh battery. Remember that these are
maximum
ratings; they may be charged
at a lower current, as is necessary if the max charge current of your charger is less than that of
your battery.

With that information, you can now plug in
your charger to a 120 V outlet with the
included power supply.

After inspecting your battery for damage and
making sure it is cool to the touch, connect it
to the charge and balance leads of the
charger.
