Lithium Ion/polymEr BAttEry
SAFEty WArnings
Ensure that the charger and battery are placed on a non-flammable
surface whilst charging and ideally charge outdoors wherever possible.
NEVER charge a Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe battery inside a vehicle whatever
the circumstances.
ALWAYS ensure that the charger is correctly set for the battery being
charged, checking both voltage and capacity. Be particularly careful if using
a series/parallel battery pack, or if using packs of different specifications
with the same charger.
NEVER charge at a rate higher than that recommended by the cell
manufacturer, this can be very dangerous.
DO NOT leave Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe batteries unattended whilst they
are charging. Monitoring the batteries during charging is very important.
ALWAYS monitor the temperature of the battery being charged every few
minutes. If the battery becomes hot to the touch, disconnect it from the
charger immediately and allow to cool. DO NOT recommence charging
until the battery and charger have been checked for compatibility and the
charger settings have been confirmed as being correct.
In the unlikely event of the Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe battery catching fire
DO NOT use water to attempt to put the fire out, instead use sand or a
fire extinguisher designed for electrical fires.
When used correctly, Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe battery packs are as safe
as any other type of rechargeable battery pack. However they do require
different charge regimes to the longer established Nickel Cadmium and
Nickel Metal Hydride technologies and have the potential of catching
fire if severely mistreated.
If Lithium Polymer battery packs are short-circuited or severely
over-charged elemental Lithium may be deposited internally, and if the
battery pouch is damaged this can escape from inside the battery. If this
occurs a fire may be caused, as elemental Lithium is highly reactive
when exposed to water or moisture, producing flammable hydrogen
gas and corrosive fumes. Elemental Lithium is not produced unless the
battery pack is severely mistreated, so in normal usage there is no
likelihood of explosion or fire.

Lithium Ion/polymEr/FE BAttEriEs
Lithium Ion/Polymer battery packs must NEVER be discharged below 3
volts per cell (Li-Fe 2.0V) as this will result in damage to the cells. If the
voltage is allowed to drop below 3 volts per cell the battery voltage may
seem to recover following a charge, but the battery may not then give its
full nominal capacity and a reduction in performance is likely – allowing the
voltage to drop below 3 volts per cell will invalidate all warranty claims.
NEVER charge Lithium Polymer battery packs at greater than 4.2V per
cell, Lithium Ion at 4.1V volts per cell or LiFe at greater than 3.7V per cell
as this will cause irreversible damage to the cells and will invalidate all
warranty claims.
NEVER charge Lithium battery packs above their maximum charge rate.
This can damage the pack and can be dangerous. Generally, Lithium
Polymer packs should not be charged above 1C (1 x Capacity), although
some newer packs do allow charging at 2C.
e.g Pack of 2500mAh capacity : 1C = 2500mAh = 2.5A max charge current.
DO NOT use discharge rates in excess of those specified with the battery
pack as this will result in a significant drop in voltage under load and will
dramatically reduce the number of charge/discharge cycles the battery
pack will give.
If disposing of Lithium battery packs ensure that the pack is fully
discharged by using a light bulb, electric motor or similar to completely
discharge the pack.
DO NOT allow any Lithium battery pack to short-circuit as this is likely to
result in a minor explosion and consequent fire.
BEFORE charging any Lithium battery packs they should be closely
inspected for any damage, such as punctures in the sleeving or if the
battery has swollen or expanded in size. If any such damage is detected
DO NOT charge, even if the battery otherwise appears to be brand new.
Before commencing charging ALWAYS double check the settings on the
charger to ensure it is set correctly for the battery pack to be charged.
Using the wrong settings is likely to result in damage to the battery pack
being charged and could result in the battery catching fire.

Input powEr
12V DC (allows 120W maximum charging rate)
Connect the charger’s red alligator clip to the positive (+) terminal on the
power source and the black alligator clip to the negative (-) terminal. The
charger will display “Input voltage” error message if the input is below 11V
or above 15V. If this happens, please recheck the input power supply to
make sure correct power is present.
OR
100~240V AC (allows 90W maximum charging rate)
Connect the mains lead to the Fusion Eclipse LX61B Pro, then connect the
AC plug to a regular AC100~240V wall socket.
NOTE:
If AC power is being used for input power, do
NOT try to connect the 12V DC power as well!
Output BAttEry ConnEctions
Two 4mm banana sockets are located on the front of the charger. Connect
the battery main power leads to these sockets with the positive (+)
lead connected to the red socket and the negative (-) lead to the black
socket. You may need to purchase an appropriate charge lead to suit the
specific connector on your battery. The “No battery” error message will be
displayed if trying to start charging without connecting a battery to these
sockets. The “Open Circuit” error message will be displayed if a battery
becomes disconnected from the charger while a function is in progress. A
“Reverse Polarity” error message will be displayed if a battery is connected
to the charger in reverse.
Note: In order to balance Lithium batteries during charge, please ensure
that both the battery main power leads and the balancing connector from
the battery pack are connected to both 4mm output banana sockets and
balancing port respectively. The balancing port (JST EH type) requires a
short lead (supplied) and an adaptor board to suit other battery balance
connectors. Adaptor boards for Flight Power/Thunder Power and JST-XH
batteries are included. Optional adaptors for Polyquest & 4/2mm plug car
packs are available.
If the main battery power leads ONLY are connected to the output banana
sockets, without connecting the balancing connector to the balancing port
on the charger, the charger will charge or discharge the connected Lithium
pack without balancing it.

This charger is capable of charging up to 6 cell Lithium-Ion, Lithium-Polymer or
LiFePO4 batteries. It uses “constant current / constant voltage” regime in order to
fully charge these Lithium batteries. Constant current is delivered during the fast
charge. When the voltage of the Li-Ion, Li-Po battery and LiFePO4 reaches approx
4.1V, 4.2V, and 3.7V per cell respectively, the charger starts to change its charge
method from “constant current” to “constant voltage”. The “constant voltage” allows
the battery to dictate how much current the charger should deliver for safe, full
charges. When the current drops below approx 1/10th current of the user selected
battery capacity, the charger will stop charging as the battery is fully charged.
Setting Battery Capacity

a 3000mAh battery will initially show 3A. This can be varied up to
2C (6A max) or down to 0.1A using the INC & DEC buttons. That
current may be further limited automatically to a lower value if
the charging power exceeds 50W (Amps x Volts).

IMPORTANT NOTE
For safety purposes, this charger is designed to automatically deliver a 1C charge
rate to batteries of Li-Ion, Li-Po or Li-Fe, based on the user selected battery capacity
unless over-ridden only for batteries designed to accept 2C charging.
Example: Li-Po cell of 1500mAh capacity : 1C = 1500mAh ( = 1.5A ) charge current.
