DO NOT
allow NiMH batteries to overheat (above 50
°
C)! Disconnect overheated
batteries from the charger immediately and allow to cool
.
DO NOT
attempt to use the charger’s lithium functions with NiMH batteries and
vice versa
.
Store NiMH packs with some voltage remaining on the cells
(
refer to battery
supplier
).
It is important to recharge NiMH batteries immediately prior to use
,
as they have
a higher self discharge rate
.
WARNING
!
DO NOT
try to charge lithium-polymer (LiPo) lithium-ion (Li-Ion) or LiFe
cells in the same way as other battery types
!
Always read the instructions that are
included with your lithium batteries carefully before use
.
Failure to follow these
care and handling instructions can quickly result in severe
,
permanent damage
to the batteries and their surroundings and even start a fire
!
ALWAYS
charge lithium batteries in a fireproof location, which could be a
container made of metal or ceramic tile
.
Monitor the area with a smoke or fire
alarm
,
and have a lithium approved fire extinguisher available at all times
.
For NiCd and NiMH batteries
,
the trickle charge current value is set automatically by the
charger as shown in the chart below and shown in amp
“
A
”.
The charger will remain
in trickle charge mode until the battery is disconnected from the charger
,
or the STOP
button is pressed again
.
Trickle charge will NOT be applied to lithium batteries
.
When fast charge ends
,
lithium
batteries can be disconnected from the charger and are ready to use
.
If the fast charge 180 minute backup safety timer expires before the battery is fully
charged
,
the LCD display will show STOP
.
Should this occur
,
you might want to attempt
to re
-
charge the battery by starting another charge
.
Refer to the Trouble Shooting Guide
on page 14 for more details
.
NEVER
attempt to extinguish a lithium fire with water or a non-lithium approved
fire extinguisher
!
Use ONLY a Class D
(
CO2 or powder
)
fire extinguisher
.
ALWAYS
provide adequate ventilation around LiPo/Li-Ion/LiFe batteries during
charge
,
while in use
,
and during storage
.
