Safety precautions
•KEEP CHARGER AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND PETS AT ALL TIMES!
•This charger is designed ONLY for NiCd, NiMH, Lithium (3.7V/cell), Lead-Acid (2.0V/cell) type cells.
DO NOT attempt to charge other types, such as 3.6V/cell Lithium, or non-rechargeable batteries!
•Always place the charger on a firm, level, and fireproof surface for charging.
•Do not place the battery or charger on or near flammable materials while in use.
Keep away from carpets, cluttered workbenches, etc.
•Do not exceed cell manufacturer’s suggested max charge rates
•Do not use automotive type battery chargers to power the charger.
•Do not leave the charger unattended while charging.
•Disconnect the battery and remove input power from charger immediately if the charger becomes hot.
Allow the charger or battery to cool down before reconnecting.
•Do not allow water, moisture or foreign objects into the charger.
•Do not open the charger, nor attempt any repair. It is dangerous, and will void your warranty.
•Do not obstruct the air intake holes on the charger.
•ALWAYS follow correct connection sequence, as given below

CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE BATTERY PACK MAKER’S RECOMMENDATIONS AND SAFETY ADVICE!
Using the EOS 5i DP AC/DC
The EOS 5i includes an Output Harness with two 4mm male “banana” connectors attached. First,
solder your chosen battery connector to the bare wire ends of the harness, taking great care to
observe proper polarity.
ALWAYS FOLLOW this connection sequence, and reverse sequence to disconnect:
1) Connect OUTPUT harness to the sockets located on the right side of the charger.
Take care that the Output Harness RED wire bullet connector goes to the (+) socket, and BLACK wire to (-) .
2a) Connect Charger INPUT alligator clips to an appropriate DC power source:
a) A 12V automobile battery
b) A quality, low-noise DC power supply of 12~15V with 5A+ rating (large batteries may require 10A supply)
OR
2b) Connect to AC wall power 100~240V using the supplied AC adapter cable
DO NOT CONNECT BOTH AC AND DC INPUT AT THE SAME TIME!!
The Charger will display INPUT VOLTAGE error message if input voltage is out of range. If this happens, please
recheck the input power supply to make sure correct voltage is present.
3) Set the battery type using the charger
configuration buttons.
*The INC and DEC buttons are used to Increase
or Decrease values, such as Charge Current or
LiPo Cell Count
*The INC and DEC buttons are used to select MODE, such as Charge, Discharge, or Cycle
*The BATT TYPE and ENTER buttons both have two modes: SHORT press or LONG (~1 second) press
•Short press BATT TYPE: Scroll battery types
•Long press BATT TYPE: View input/output Data
•Short press ENTER: Scroll settings for a battery type. Values will blink when selected. If nothing is
changed, blinking will stop. Short press Enter until re-selected, then INC/DEC to change values.
•Long press ENTER: START charging (or discharging, or cycling)
Let’s start by using a NiMh battery as an example:
When the charger is first connected to input power, it will display the previously used battery configuration.
This is especially convenient if you often charge the same type of battery.
1) If NIMH is not shown, short push the BATT TYPE button to scroll through all battery types. Stop when
you reach NIMH.
2) Short press the ENTER button to select “C”, charge rate in Ampere
3) Press INC or DEC buttons to choose the proper rate for your battery pack.
Charging NiCd and NiMH is mostly automatic, and the setup routines are the same for both. You only need to consult the
documentation for your battery pack (or ask your dealer) to determine the proper charge current in Ampere (A). If the rate
is given in mA, note that 100mA equals 0.1A: so 900mA would be 0.9A, for example.
4) Attach your NiMH battery to the EOS 5i Output side harness, checking that +/- polarity is correct.
5) Long press ENTER button (hold down for about 1 second) to begin charging
NO BATTERY error - if battery not connected
OPEN CIRCUIT error - if the battery becomes disconnected from the charger after START

REVERSE POLARITY error - if the battery is connected in reverse
In our NiMH charging example above, we pressed the ENTER button when “NiMH” was blinking, to go directly
to charge rate setting. However, if you want to enter DISCHARGE or CYCLE modes, you can press the BATT
TYPE button to start NiMH blinking, then press INC/DEC buttons to scroll through the various modes. Once
the mode is settled (like CYCLE), short press ENTER to start values blinking for editing.
Below are the flow charts for all the settings in the charger. Have a play with no battery connected, to see
how to set all the parameters, for all supported battery types.

set on the basis of selected capacity, at 1C rate. Example : Li-Po cell of 1500mAh capacity : 1C =
1500mAh ( = 1.5A ). If your battery is larger than 5000mAh, you can charge it at the 5000mAh setting, but
it will just take longer to finish charging.

3S = 11.1V - three-cell series pack
4S = 14.8V - four-cell series pack
5S = 18.5V- five-cell series pack
NOTE: The EOS Series chargers have intelligent detection routines to help you avoid making mistakes, and
LOW or HIGH VOLTAGE errors are displayed if battery voltage does not match your setting. HOWEVER, under
some circumstances, especially with over-discharged or damaged batteries, the safeguard could fail. Therefore,
be absolutely sure that you have correctly set pack voltage correctly before charging, every time!
Setting discharge parameters

Autocut occurs automatically at 3.0V per cell.
LITHIUM MODE IS ONLY FOR LITHIUM BATTERIES WITH 3.7V/cell RATING! Some Li-Ion
types are rated at 3.6V/cell, and CANNOT BE CHARGED with the EOS 5i!

LBA DATAPORT FEATURE
The DataPort is a 3-pin output which fits the option cable #HP-EOSLBA10-DPC. See top label to
locate the DataPort on the top left side of your EOS charger. There are two main functions of the
DataPort connection to LBA10 balance adapter:
*The LBA communicates with the charger, giving notification when balance charging is completed,or
when an error is detected. In both cases, the LBA tells the charger to shut down. This insures
maximum safety, and saves the user from having to manually push the charger STOP (enter) button
to stop the charge-end or error tones. The lithium battery should be disconnected from the LBA as
soon as possible after charging is completed.
* The DataPort version EOS chargers, when connected to LBA10 balancer via cable #HP-EOSLBA10-
DPC, allow the user to monitor the individual voltages of each battery cell during the charge process.
This is an important addition to pack diagnostics, as one is able to see the exact balance status of
the battery pack (or packs, when LBA10 is in NET mode).
To view individual cell voltages after the balance charge has been started:
* Connect DataPort Cable (DPC) between Charger and LBA10 as shown by the Green line in diagram
below. [no matter if single or networked LBA, connect DPC to Master LBA]
*Push the EOS5i BATT TYPE Button for 3 seconds to access DATA screen.
*Push the INC, DEC buttons to scroll up and down data screens as in the chart below.
