LETS GET CHARGING
5
Simple • Capable • Safe
Now that you are familiar with the charger, its features, and general precautions of what not to do and some of what to do, we should get started
charging your first battery. Just a reminder...set some time aside so you
DON’T have to walk away and STOP THE CHARGER, MID
CHARGE since you should never leave the charger unattended while charging. Finally, confirm the battery chemistry type, capacity, voltage and
cell count of the battery you will charge and ensure all connector plugs are compatible. Here are the basics of what you will be doing.
1. Plug the charger into a properly grounded AC wall plug.
2. Plug the battery into the charger and place the battery on/in a non-flammable surface/container and away from any flammable objects.
3. Follow the appropriate charge instructions for your battery chemistry type listed on the following page.
4. Unplug the battery from the charger when the charge is complete.
5. Remove charger from wall plug when not in use.
a. NOTE: Only use batteries with labels that are legible and clearly state the capacity, cell count (or voltage), and chemistry type as
either NiCd, NiMH, or LiPo.
WARNING:
The Radient Primal charger has the capability of charging both LiPo and NiCd/NiMH (NiXX) batteries which require significantly dif-
ferent charging modes. It is extremely important to choose the correct charging mode when charging your batteries. Choosing the wrong charging
mode can cause fire or explosion. Be sure to properly identify the battery chemistry, voltage and capacity of every pack before attempting to charge
it to ensure the correct settings. Some LiPo battery packs are designed to look like NiXX battery packs. One indication of a LiPo battery is the pres-
ence of a balance plug either exiting the battery with small wires and small plug on the end or a small female plug embedded into the end of the
battery pack. If you are unsure of the battery type you are attempting to charge; please consult your local hobby dealer for assistance.
To help ensure the correct charging mode is used when charging your batteries, the charger is equipped with Safe Start technology. Safe Start is
a start sequence technology used to deter the use of the incorrect charging mode for batteries of different chemistry. When battery packs are con-
nected properly per chemistry the system is very robust; however if some batteries are improperly connected it is possible to charge LiPo batteries
in NiXX mode, exactly what you should NEVER do, so caution is always required when operating the charger. Safe Start is used by requiring the
simultaneous pressing of both the Safe Start button and the appropriate charge mode button for 3 seconds to begin the charge cycle.
