Battery Charging Process
NOTICE:
Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken
or punctured.
1. Attach the input cord of the charger to the appropriate power supply (12V accessory outlet).
2. When the Li-Po charger has been correctly powered up, there will be an approximate 3-second delay, then an audible “beep” and the green (ready) LED
will fl ash.
3. Turn the control on the Amps selector so the arrow points to the charging rate required for the battery (the included 2200mAh Li-Po battery will charge at
2.0 amps, which is 1C). DO NOT change the charge rate once the battery begins charging.
4. Move the cell selector switch to 3-cell for your battery.
5. Connect the Balancing Lead of the Battery to the 3-cell (it has 4 pins) charger port.
6. The green and red LEDs may fl ash during the charging process when the charger is balancing cells. Balancing prolongs the life of the battery.
7. When the battery is fully charged, there will be an audible beep for approximately 3 seconds and the green LED will glow solid. Attempting to charge an
over-discharged battery will cause the charger to repeatedly fl ash and beep, indicating an error has occurred.
8. Always disconnect the battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.
CAUTION
: Overcharging a battery can cause a fi re.
CAUTION
: Only use a charger specifi cally designed to charge a Li-Po battery. Failure to do so could result in fi re causing injury or property damage.
CAUTION
: Never exceed the recommended charge rate.
CAUTION:
The balance connector must be inserted into the correct port of your charger prior to charging.
NOTICE:
Refer to your battery manufacturer’s instructions for charging.
