WARNINGS AND SAFETY NOTES
• Do not leave the charger unattended while charging. If any malfunction
occurs, TERMINATE THE PROCESS AT ONCE and refer to the operation
manual.
• Disconnect the battery if it becomes hot immediately. Allow the battery
to cool down before reconnecting.
• Do NOT attempt to charge incompatible types of rechargeable batteries
or even dry (alkaline, zinc-carbon) batteries. This charger is designed
to only charge and discharge Nickel-Cadmium, Nickel-Metal Hydride,
Lithium-Ion,Lithium-Polymer(regularandHV),LiFePO4,and Lead-Acid
batteries.
• Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries.
• A battery pack which consists of dierent types of cells (including
dierent manufacturers)
• Non-rechargeable batteries (Explosion hazard).
• Batteries that require a dierent charge technique from NiCd, NiMH,
LiPo, LiHV or Pb.
• A faulty or damaged battery.
• A battery tted with an integral charge circuit or a protection circuit.
• Batteries installed in a device or which are electrically linked to other
components.
• Batteries that are not expressly stated by the manufacturer to be
suitable for the currents the charger delivers during the charge process.
• Keep the charger well away from dust, damp, rain, heat, direct sunshine
and vibration. Never drop it.
• Do not allow foreign objects into the charger.
• The allowable AC input voltage is 100-240 V/50-60 Hz or 10-30 V DC
voltage. DO NOT try to feed the charger simultaneously using the AC and
DC input.
• This charger and the battery should be put on a rm level, heat-
resistant, non-ammable and nonconductive surface. Never place them
on a car seat, carpet or similar.
• Keep all the inammable volatile materials away from operating area.
• Do not cover the air intake holes on the charger as this could cause the
charger to overheat.
• Make sure you know the specications of the battery to be charged or
discharged to ensure it meets the requirements of this charger. If the
program is set up incorrectly, the battery and charger may be damaged
.It can cause re or explosion due to overcharging.
• Do not attempt to charge batteries at excessive fast charge currents.
Check with your battery manufacturer for the maximum charge rate
applicable to your battery.
• Do not use automotive type battery chargers to power the charger.
• Do not disassemble the charger.
• This appliance is not intended for use by young children under 14 years
of age or uninformed persons unless they were adequately supervised
by a responsible adult person to ensure that they can use the appliance
safely.
Please bear in mind the following points before commencing
charging:
• Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery
you are charging?
• Did you set up adequate current for charging or discharging?
• Have you checked the battery voltage?
• Have you checked that all connections are rm and secure? Make sure
there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.

CHARGE/DISCHARGE LIMIT
Since the amount of heat the charger is able to dissipate is limited by
the natural laws, the max. charge and discharge rates are automatica-
lly limited by the charger. Depending on the battery voltage (and the
temperature of the charger as well as the ambient temperature), the
charge/discharge current is being limited automatically so the output
power of the charger did not exceed 200 W (default value, depends on
the CH1/CH2 Max Power setting - refer to 3.1.1) during the charging or 25
W during the discharging.
Max. charge current is: I = P / U = 200 W / battery voltage (V); if the
battery voltage is 11.1 V it will be I = 200 / 11.1 = 18 A.
Max. discharge current is: I = P / U = 25 W / battery voltage (V); if the
battery voltage is 10 V it will be I = 25 / 10 = 2.5 A.

CHARGE/DISCHARGE - RECOMMENDED PARAMETERS
Lithium Batteries
LiPo, LiHV and Li-ion Batteries
LiPo, LiHV and Li-ion batteries should be charged at 1C - unless the ma-
nufacturer recommended a dierent value – always follow closely the
instructions of the battery manufacturer.
Li-Fe Batteries
Genuine A123Systems LiFePO4 nanophosphate batteries may be safely
charged at 1-5C levels. Please follow the values recommended by the
particular manufacturer with Life batteries of other brands.
Lithium Battery Long Time Storage
If your lithium battery is not supposed to be used for more than a month,
you should use the Storage program to charge or discharge it to a safe
part-charge state best suited for the long time storage.
Battery Max. Temperature Limit
We recommend to set the cut-o temperature to 35-40°C for the LiPo
and Li-ion batteries; 40-45°C for the Li-Fe cells.
Note: The optional temperature sensor is required to measure the tem-
perature of your battery.
NiCd and NiMH Batteries
Low internal resistance power NiCd batteries of the sub-C size (e.g.
Panasonic (Sanyo) N-1700SCR, generally all 1:10 RC car NiCd packs) can
be charged at 1-2C rate (i.e. 1.7 to 3.4 A for 1700 mAh pack). The rest of
NiCd and NiMH batteries should not be charged at a rate higher than 1C.
Delta-peak Sensitivity
It determines the sensitivity of the delta-peak cut-o circuitry; adj-
ustable within the range 4-20 mV/cell. The lower value, the higher sen-
sitivity. The sensible value is 8-15 mV/cell for most of NiCd batteries and
4-10 mV/cell for most of NiMH batteries.
Discharge - the End Point Voltage
NiCd batteries: 0.8-1.0 V/cell, NiMH: 1.0 V/cell.
Battery Max. Temperature Limit
We recommend setting the cut-o temperature to 40-45°C for the NiCd
and NiMH batteries.
Sealed Gel Lead-Acid Batteries
We recommend charging the sealed lead-acid batteries at 0,1C rate;
discharge max. 1C.
Note: 1Crate means such acurrentthat wouldtheoretically chargeabatte-
ry of a certain nominal capacity in 1 hour.
Example: It is 2 A (or 2000 mA) for 2 000 mAh battery.

**) Some LiPo batteries may be charged at 5C or even higher rate – always follow the battery manufacturer’s recommendation.

OPERATING THE CHARGER
1. CONNECTION
Connecting to a power source
AC: Please connect your Touch Duo Racing to the AC mains socket using
the supplied AC power cable.
DC: Please connect your Touch Duo Racing to a 12-24 V car battery using
the supplied DC power cable. Pay close attention to the correct polarity
- red (+), black (-) otherwise you might damage or even destroy your
charger. Note: In order to achieve the max. output power of the charger,
the DC power supply/battery output voltage should be at least 24 V.
Connecting the battery
Important! Before connecting abattery it is absolutely essentialto check
one last time that you have set the parameters correctly. If the settings
are incorrect, the battery may be damaged, and could even burst into
ames or explode. In order to avoid short circuits, always connect the
charge leads to the charger rst, and only then to the battery. Reverse
the sequence when disconnecting the pack.
Balance Ports (Lithium batteries only)
The balance cable attached to the battery must be connected to the
charger with the black wire aligned with the negative marking. Take
care to maintain correct polarity! If your pack features a dierent system
of balance connectors (other than JST-XH) connect it via a corresponding
balance adapter available separately.
2. GETTING STARTED

2.2 Channel Selection
Touching or icon in the right selects the respective cha-
nnel Main Menu.
Both two channels are completely independent; you can charge dis-
charge dierent types batteries with dierent number of cells as you
