Warnings and Safety Tips
The following safety tips are essentially important. Please strictly follow the manual’s
instructions in operation to guarantee safety. Improper operation or incorrect working
parameter settings may cause damages to the charger and battery and/or result to a fire.
Do not use the charger in an unattended manner; in case of any functional abnormity,
please stop using it and refer to the manual.
Keep the charger away from dust, humidity, rain and high temperature, as well as
avoid direct exposure to the sun and intense vibration.
Make sure the heat emission hole at the bottom of the charger is uncovered while in
use, and ensure the cooling fan smoothly extracts heat.
Please fully understand the charging and discharging characteristics as well as the
battery’s specifications. Additionally, set up proper charging parameters in the
charger. Incorrect setting of parameters can cause damage to the charger and battery
and/or result to disastrous consequences such as fire or explosion.
Power input of the charger is direct current 7-32V; make sure the polarities are
correct when connecting to the power supply.
Please place the charger on a heat-resisting, non-flammable and insulating surface.
Do not use it by placing it on the car’s seats, carpet or other similar places. Keep
inflammable and explosive objects away from operation areas of the charger.
When charging or discharging is completed, please press the speed shuttle key to
terminate current task, and remove the battery when the charger shows the standby

How to Confirm Charging Current
It is very important to know the maximum charging current of the battery as excessive
current could influence the life span of battery and/or cause damages. In addition, excessive
current can cause heating and/or explosion of the battery during the charging process.
The charging and discharging capacity of battery is usually marked with C value. Multiplying
the charging C value and battery capacity equals to the maximum charging current support-
ed by the battery. For example, for a 1000 mAh battery with a charging capacity of 5C, the
maximum charging current would be 1000*5=5000mA; therefore, the maximum charging
current is 5A.
For a lithium battery, if it is impossible to confirm the supported charging C value, please set
the charging current below 1C for the sake of its (lithium battery) safety.
The reference relation between C value and charging time: charging time ≥60 minutes/
charging C value (it therefore needs around 60~70 minutes to complete charging with 1C).
Due to differences in battery conversion efficiency, the period to complete the charging

The charger is equipped with a function of measuring the cells’ internal resistance,
which is only applied when conducting balanced charging. The cell voltage should be
measured and calculated within 2 to 3 minutes after the charging task has been initiat-
ed. The battery internal resistance can slightly vary under different electric quantities
while the measured resistance value is usually relatively low as the electric quantity is
large.
The charging current should be adjusted instantly as the charger measures the
internal resistance of the battery; therefore, it is normal phenomenon for acute
Internal resistance measurement function
The working mode of the charger is series charging; you must therefore connect it to the
output line of the battery while charging. For a lithium battery, it is highly suggested that the
balanced interface should be connected to carry out balanced charging to accurately
monitor the voltage of each cell and balance the ones with bad consistency.
When selecting storage functions, automatic charging task can be initiated if the
battery is lower than the preset storage voltage; likewise, automatic discharging task
can be initiated if the battery voltage is higher than the preset storage voltage. To save
time during charging and discharging tasks, the voltages of cells should not be
accurately balanced; however, it is normal phenomenon that there may be some errors
between cell voltage and preset value as the tasks are completed[Unclear (very
Storage functions
Activation and restoration functions of excessive discharged battery
When the charging task begins, a 0.1 A current should be applied to activate and
restore the battery if the cell voltage is tested to be lower than the pre-charge voltage;
on the other hand, it should be adjusted to a rated voltage for charging when the cell
voltage is higher than the pre-charge voltage. This design can protect excessively
discharged batteries, as well as conduct activation and restoration.

Since the way of internal resistance measurement varies, it cannot be realized to
measure the absolute value as professional internal resistance tester does. Therefore,
the internal resistance value can only be referred to when conducting horizontal
comparisons, such as judging the consistency of the cells’ performance or making
comparisons of the performance of different cells. The charging current is an influen-
tial factor for measuring internal resistance; batteries with large capacity and small
internal resistance would relatively need large charging currents to accurately
During the charging process, the screen displays an orange marking which turns into
green or blue as the charging is completed. When the charging completes, the cells’
voltage difference should be smaller than 20mV, while the screen marking turns into
green. Therefore, if the battery is in urgent use, it’s okay to stop charging. The charger
should continue to balance the battery if the charging process is not terminated, and
the screen light turns blue, since the voltage difference is smaller than 10mV. Addition-
ally, the charger should continue to carry out accurate balancing of the battery after
the light turns blue. If the consistency of the cells is excellent, the screen light should
skip color green to become blue as the charging is complete.
After the charging is complete, it is normal for voltage decline to occur due to different
performances. As the number of the charge cycle grows, the performance decreases,
and the voltage decline phenomenon becomes obvious. To charge the battery with a
larger current would also cause a more obvious voltage decline after the charging is
complete.
NB: When charging the battery in a hurry in outdoors, it is okay to stop charging when
the screen light turns green. If there is enough time and the cells are assumed to be

Sliding the touch panel during operation can switch the displayed information
in the lower half of the screen, which are cell voltage, cell internal resistance,
output information and working parameter.
The output information only shows while connecting a smart battery.
The cell voltage and internal resistance can only be displayed in the mode of
balance charging (3 minutes).

Max input power limitation: if the input power fails to reach the max working power (330W), set this
parameter based on the actual output capacity of input power in order to protect it and enable the
charger to work stably. For example, as the power connected is 12V/10A, the value of this item should
be 120W.
Min input power: this item can protect the battery from excessive discharge since it’s used as input
power. If the charger tests that the input voltage is lower than the default value, all tasked in operation
would be terminated and there would be a warning of low voltage. For example, if a 6S Lipo battery is
used as the input power source, the value of the item should be 21V to protect the battery from
excessive discharge.
Buzzer volume: the default is OFF, the operation sound would be blocked, but not the sound of error

heard when the charger is connected to the battery; power on after removing the
Error for abnormal battery connection: pull out and plug in the battery again to
ensure all connections are reliably contacted; if the error reminder continues, please
check whether the metal parts on the battery interface are oxidized or burned result-

connected, and whether the power of electric supply can match the input require-
ment of the charger. If the power is smaller than 160 W, please adjust the max input
power to match the power of electric supply in the system fault menu of the charger.
