because of safety and approval reasons. Never dismantle the product!
• Maintenance, adjustment, or repair work must only be carried out by a specialist/a
specialist workshop. The device contains no parts that require servicing or adjust-
ing by you.
• The product is not a toy and must be kept out of reach of children!
The product must only be set up, used or stored in places that are not accessible
to children. The same applies for rechargeable batteries.
Pay particular attention when children are present! Children may change the set-
tings or short-circuit the rechargeable battery/batteries, which may lead to fire or
explosion. Danger to life!
• In schools, training centres, hobby and self-help workshops, the use of the product
must be supervised by responsible trained personnel.
• In commercial institutions, the accident prevention regulations of the Employer’s
Liability Insurance Association for Electrical Systems and Operating Materials are
to be observed.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. It may become a danger-
ous toy for children!
• Handle the product with care; impacts, shock or fall even from low heights will
damage it.
• If you are not sure about the correct operation or if questions arise which are
not covered by the operating instructions, please do not hesitate to contact us or
another specialist.
b) Mains cable/mains voltage
• Product setup corresponds to protection class I. It must only be connected to a
proper protective contact mains socket. Observe that the housing or mains line
insulation is not damaged or destroyed.
• The mains socket to which the plug-in mains unit is connected must be easily
accessible.
• Do not pull the mains plug from the mains socket by pulling the cable.
• If the mains cable or charger are damaged, do not touch it. Danger to life from
electric shock!
First switch off the mains voltage for the mains socket to which the mains cable
is connected (switch off the corresponding circuit breaker or take out the fuse,
then switch off the fault interrupter protection switch (FI circuit breaker) so that the
mains socket is separated from the mains voltage on all poles).
Only then unplug the mains unit from the mains socket.
If the charger is damaged, stop operating it. Take it to a specialised workshop or
dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way.
If the mains cable is damaged, dispose of the damaged mains cable in an envi-
ronmentally compatible way. Do not use it anymore. Replace it with a new mains
cable of the same specifications.
c) Location for Installation
• The charger is intended for dry indoor use only. It must not become damp or wet.
Never set it up near a bathtub, shower or similar!
If the charger is operated via the mains cable, there is danger to life from electric
shock in case of moisture/wetness on the charger/mains cable!
• Avoid direct sun irradiation, strong heat or cold. Keep the charger away from dust
and dirt. The same applies to any rechargeable battery that may be connected.
• Do not operate the charger inside of rooms or in bad ambient conditions where
flammable gases, vapours or explosive dust may be or are present! There is a
danger of explosion!
• Choose a solid, flat, clean and sufficiently large surface for the charger. Never
place the charger on a flammable surface (e.g. carpet, tablecloth). Always use a
suitable, non-flammable, heatproof surface.
• Keep the charger away from flammable or easily inflammable materials (e.g. cur-
tains).
• Never cover the ventilation slits. There is a danger of overheating or fire. Never
push any objects into the ventilation slots of the charger; There is a danger to life
from electric shock! Never impair the function of the integrated fan.
• Do not place the charger on any valuable furniture surfaces without using a suit-
able protection. Otherwise, scratches, pressure points or discolourations are pos-
sible. The same applies to the rechargeable battery.
• Do not use the charger inside a vehicle.
• The charger must only be set up, used or stored in places that are not accessible
to children. Children may change the settings or short-circuit the rechargeable
battery/battery pack, which can lead to an explosion. Danger to life!
Important Informations
Multifunctional charger “V-Charge 300 Triple”
Item no. 1528380
You can find the main operating instructions on the CD provided; it is available there
in PDF format. To open the PDF, you need a suitable programme, e.g. “Acrobat
Reader”, which you can download free of charge from www.adobe.com.
Intended Use
The charger “V-Charge 300 Triple” has three independent charge/discharge channels that each
have a two-line lit display and four operating buttons.
The charger is used to charge and discharge rechargeable batteries of the type NiMH/NiCd
(1 - 15 cells), LiPo/LiIon/LiFe/LiHV (1 - 6 cells) and lead batteries (1 - 10 cells, 2 V - 20 V).
The charging current for channel 1 can be set between 0.1 A and 20.0 A. The charging current
for channels 2 and 3 can be set between 0.1 A and 10.0 A (each depending on the cell number/
rechargeable battery voltage). The maximum total charging output is 300 W (for possible com-
bination of the 3 charging channels, see chapter “Technical Data”).
The discharging current for channel 1 can be set between 0.1 A and 8.0 A. The discharging
current for channels 2 and 3 can be set between 0.1 A and 5.0 A (depending on the cell number/
rechargeable battery voltage). The maximum discharge output for channel 1 is 25 W; that for
channels 2 and 3 is 10 W each.
For each of the three charge/discharge channels, there is a connection for a temperature sen-
sor available for battery monitoring (not enclosed, can be ordered as an accessory).
For multi-cell lithium rechargeable batteries, each charge/discharge channel has a separate
balancer. Matching balancer boards are included in the delivery.
The charger has an integrated mains unit to permit operation on mains voltage (100 -
240 V/AC, 50/60 Hz). The charger may, however, also be alternatively operated on a stabilised
direct voltage of 11 - 18 V/DC (e.g. via an external vehicle lead battery or a suitable mains
adapter).
The safety notes and all other information in these operating instructions always have to be
