Intended use
AMMO Li-Ion type battery charger is intended to charge TYPE series batteries with 10,8 – 11,1V voltage and
maximum capacity of 24Ah.
AMMO Li-Ion is a universal, impulse source of current which switches off when the battery is fully charged.
Charging time is dependent on the charging status of the battery pack. The charging process is controlled
by – U/d and delta-T method. The charger controls the charging current, charging time and the voltage of
battery pack.
The charging status is shown on the display.
The charger is protected against voltage surges occurring in the network 100 / 240V~.
Charger’s output is equipped with a cinch type current plug. The casing is made of black, high-impact, ABS
type plastic material.
AMMO Li-Ion charger – precautions
The charger is designed only for packages consisting of Li-Ion cells.
Using a AMMO Li-Ion charger for any other purpose or using it to charge packets or cells which do not
comply with the specifications, may cause damage to the package.
Not applicable precautions may be the cause of a fire or battery explosion.
Do not short-circuit the charger output cable.
The charger heats up when the battery pack is charged. Make sure that the battery is charged in a location
with proper heat dissipation of charger and package. Do not cover the charger while charging. Chargers
may be use only in dry areas.
Keep away from heat, moisture and flooding. Properly used and stored charger should be dry and clean.
To clean the charger and the package use a dry cloth.
Unplug the charger when is not used.
Charger and battery pack are not toys! Keep away from children!
Ammonite System® company is not responsible for any damage or injury resulting from the improper use of
the AMMO Li-Ion charger, including charging not intended packages, especially packages of other produ-
cers, packages with a different capacity, different voltage or produced in other chemical systems.
Charger cannot be open and repaired. In case of charger failure, please contact Ammonite System® service.

Li-Ion battery packs – recommendations
The battery pack must be fully charged before the first use. Avoid deep discharge of the package below
8.0 V. Batteries lose their charge itself even when not being used. The result of this process can be deep
discharge and, consequently, loss or destruction of the capacity of the package.
Charging
Plug the charger into a 100 / 240 V ~ mains socket.
Proper operation of the charger indicates the display illuminated in blue.
Connect the output cable from the battery charger. Starting of charging process is indicated by the
display color transition from blue to red and the display of information about the state of battery pack.
After charging the display will show “FULL 100%”.
Operation of Li-Ion batteries
Charge battery only with dedicated AMMO Li-Ion charger provided by Ammonite System®. Do not di-
scharge the battery pack voltage below 8.0 V.
It is forbidden to:
• Open the battery pack.
• Interference with the construction of the battery pack.
• Short the battery pack terminals together.
• Connect the battery pack with the battery pack in the other chemical systems or produced by other
manufacturers.
• Connect the battery pack with the battery pack at the same chemical system and the same manufactu-
rer but with different capacity or rated voltage.
• Throwing battery pack.
• Inserting the battery pack into the fire.
• Immersion in water package without a waterproof case.

Li-Ion battery storage conditions
The battery should be stored in a dry, ventilated place at temperatures from -20 °C to +50 °C (-4 °F to
+122 °F). Temperature above 60 °C (140 °F) can cause internal damage to the battery.
Charging the battery must be always in temperature from: 0 °C to 50 °C (32 °F to 122 °F)
If the battery was stored at subzero temperatures, it needs to be acclimatized in temperature min.
10 °C (50 °F) for 4-5 hours. During the dives performed in the winter it is not recommended to keep
the battery in temperature below 0 °C (32 °F); f.e. in a car trunk or luggage on the exterior. Charging
frozen battery can cause internal damage.
Discharging can take place in a temperature range of -20 °C to +60 °C (-4 °F to +122 °F). The battery
can be stored after charging to the level of 50-70% (storage of discharged battery leads to its degra-
dation).
The battery store away from flame sources, moisture, food.
During storage, recharge the battery at least once every six months, or more frequently if the voltage
at its terminals is less than 8.5 V.
Check the voltage at the battery terminals once a month.
