These warnings and safety notes are particularly important. Please follow the instructions for
maximum safety; otherwise the charger and the battery can be damaged or at worst it can
cause a fire. Also read the chapter before you begin.
• Never leave the charger unattended when it is connected to its power supply.
If any malfunction is found, TERMINATE THE PROCESS IMMEDIATELY and refer to the
operation manual.
• Keep the charger away from dust, damp, rain, heat, direct sunshine, vibration. Never drop it.
• The allowable AC input voltage is 100V or 240V AC.
• This charger and the battery should be put on a heat-resistant, non-flammable and non-con-
ductive surface.
Never place them on a car seat, carpet or similar surface. Keep all flammable volatile materi-
als away from the operating area.
• Make sure you know the specifications 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.
Fire or explosion can occur due to overcharging. This warranty is not valid for any damage
or subsequent damage arising as a result of a misuse or failure to observe the procedures
outlined in this manual.
• To avoid short circuiting between the charge lead, always connect the charge cable to the
charger first, then connect the battery. Reverse the sequence when disconnecting.
• Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries:
- A battery pack which consists of different types of cells (including different manufacturers)
- A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly discharged
- Non-rechargeable batteries (pose an explosion hazard)
- A faulty or damaged battery
- A battery fitted 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
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 appropriate current for charging or discharging?
• Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in
series, i.e. a 2-cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in series).
• Have you checked that all connections are firm and secure? Make sure there are no intermit-
tent contacts at any point in the circuit.
1. WARNINGS AND SAFETY NOTES

Standard Battery Parameters
Be very careful to choose the correct voltage for different types of battery otherwise you may
cause damage to the batteries. Incorrect settings could cause the cells to fire or explode.
Charging
During charge process, a specific quantity of electrical energy is fed into the battery. The charge
quantity is calculated by multiplying charge current by charge time. The maximum permissible
charge current varies depending on the battery type or its performance, and can be found in the
information by the battery manufacturer. Only batteries that are expressly stated to be capable
of quick-charge are allowed to be charged at rates higher than the standard charge current.
Connect the battery to the terminal of the charger: red is positive and black is negative. The
essential requirement for the charger to work properly is that the charge lead should be of
adequate conductor cross-section, and high quality connectors which are normally gold-plated
should be fitted to both ends.
Always refer to the manual by the battery manufacturer regarding the charging methods.
Operate according to their recommended charging current and charging time. Lithium batteries,
in particular, should be charged strictly according to the manufacturer’s instruction.
Close attention should be paid to the connection of lithium batteries.
Do not attempt to open, disassemble, or service the battery pack. Please get highlighted that
lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in series. In the parallel connection, the bat-
tery’s capacity is calculated by multiplying single the battery’s capacity by the number of cells,
bearing in mind that total voltage stays the same. If the voltage is imbalanced, it may cause a
fire or explosion. Lithium batteries are recommended to charge in series.

Discharging
The main purpose of discharging is to clean the residual capacity of the battery, or to reduce the
battery’ voltage to a defined level. The same attention should be paid to the discharging process
as the charging process. The final discharge voltage should be set up correctly to avoid deep
discharging. Lithium batteries cannot be discharged to lower than the minimum voltage, or it
will cause a rapid loss of capacity or a total failure. Generally, lithium batteries don’t need to be
discharged. Please pay attention to the minimum voltage of lithium batteries to protect them.
Some rechargeable batteries have a memory effect. If they are partly used and recharged
before the whole charge is accomplished, they remember this and will only use that part of their
capacity next time. This is a ‘memory effect’ It is said that NiMH and NiCD batteries are suffering
from memory effect. NiCD has more ‘memory effect’ than NiMH.
Do not attempt to open, disassemble, or service the battery pack. Frequent full discharging
should be avoided if possible. Full capacity cannot be reached until it has been subjected to 10
or more charge cycles. The cyclic process of charge and discharge will optimize the capacity of
battery pack.

5. INITIAL PARAMETER SET UP (User Setup)
When first used, the charger will display the default values on the screen. Below is the
sequence in which the various programs are displayed, which you can change as required.
When you wish to change the value of a parameter in the program, press the Start/
ENTER
key to make it flash on the screen, then change the value with the
INC (+) OR DEC (-) key.
The value will be stored by pressing the START/ENTER key again.
The charger automatically recognises the number of cells in the lithium battery at the start
of the charge/discharge process to avoid setting errors by the user. However, a deeply
discharged battery can be misperceived. To avoid any errors, you can set the delay for
the processor to check the number of cells. Normally, 10 minutes is sufficient to correctly
perceive the number of cells.
For a larger capacity battery, you can extend the time. However, if you set too long a delay
for the smaller capacity battery, the charge/discharge process may be completed within
the time limit with the wrong number of cells. This can cause a fatal error. If the processor
recognizes the number of cells at the beginning of the
charge/discharge process, you can extend the delay.
Otherwise, it is better to use the default value.
Here the charger indicates the Delta Peak for automatic
stop of NiMH and NiCd battery charging. The actual
value varies from 5 to 20 mV per cell. If the Delta Peak
is set to a higher level, there is a risk of overcharging
the battery; if it is set to a lower level, there is a risk
of premature shut-down. Please refer to the technical
specifications of the battery (default NiCd: 12mV,
default NiMH: 7mV).

9
5. INITIAL PARAMETER SET UP (User Setup)
Here you define the maximum temperature that the battery
can reach during charge/discharge. When the battery reaches
this temperature during charging, the process is interrupted to
protect the battery.
When the battery is in a charge/discharge cycle process, the
battery may become warm. In this program you can insert a
rest delay after each charge/discharge process to cool the
battery before the next cycle. The rest time can be set from 1
to 60 minutes.
When you start a charging process, the built-in safety timer
starts automatically at the same time. It is programmed to
prevent overcharging of the battery if the battery proves to be
defective or if the cut-off circuit does not detect the charged
battery. The value of the safety timer must be high enough to
allow the battery to be fully charged.
This program sets the maximum charge capacity that will
be supplied to the battery during charging. If the delta-peak
voltage is not detected or if the safety time has expired for
any reason, this function will automatically stop the charging
process at the indicated capacity value.
A beep sounds each time you press the buttons to confirm
your action. The beep or melody sounds at various times dur-
ing operation to signal different mode changes. These audible
sounds can be turned ON or OFF.

10
Press and hold the ENTER button for 3 seconds to restore the
factory default setting.
Here you have the current software version number and the
charger identification number.
The left side of the first line indicates the battery type you
have selected.
The value on the left side of the second line defines the
charging current.
The value on the right side of the second line defines the
battery voltage.
After adjusting the current and voltage, press the
START/
ENTER button for more than 3 seconds to start the process
(charging current: 0.1-6.0A, voltage: 2~4S).
Use these programs only to charge a lithium battery ( Lilo/LiPo/LiHV/LiFe) with a nominal
voltage of 3.6V, 3.7V, 3.8V or 3.3V per cell, respectively. The charging current entering the
battery varies according to the type of chemistry, so it is VERY IMPORTANT to choose the
exact charging mode for your battery. The final charge voltage is also important as it varies
for all four types: 4.1V for Lilo, 4.2V for LiPo, 4.35V for LiHV and 3.6V for LiFe. The charging
current (how many amps you inject into the pack) and the rated voltage (the correct voltage
for the number of cells in the battery you are charging) must be correct for the battery to be
charged. To change these parameters, press the
START/ENTER button to make the selected
value flash. Use the increase and decrease buttons to set the desired amperage, then press
the START/ENTER button to save the setting. You will then be asked to select your nominal
voltage / number of cells. Use the INC (+) OR DEC (-) buttons again to reach the desired
setting, then press the START/ENTER button to confirm and save.
When you want to change the parameter value in the program, press the START/ENTER
button to make it blink and then change the value with the INC or DEC button. The value will
be stored by pressing the START/ENTER key once.

S: = the number of cells that you set in the previous screen.
If the two numbers are the same, you can start charging by
pressing the START/ENTER button. Otherwise, press the BATT
TYPE/STOP button to return to the previous screen. Next,
carefully check the number of battery cells to be charged.
The screen displays the current situation during the charging
process. To stop charging, press the
BATT TYPE/STOP button.
This involves balancing the voltages of the lithium battery to be charged. The battery to be
charged must be connected to the balancing port and charging connector on the front of the
charger.
In this mode, the charging process is different from the ordinary charging mode. The
charger’s internal processor monitors the voltage of each cell in the battery and controls the
charging current that powers each cell to normalize the voltage.
6.1 LITHIUM BATTERY - CHARGING
6.2 CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERY (BALANCE MODE)
The left side of the first line indicates the battery type you

carefully check the number of battery cells to be charged.
The screen displays the current situation during the charging
process. To stop charging, press the BATT TYPE/STOP button.

12
6.3 LITHIUM BATTERY - FAST CHARGING
6.4 LITHIUM BATTERY - STORAGE
The charging current decreases as the process nears the end of charging of lithium
batteries. To complete the charging process sooner, this program eliminates certain terms
from the CV process. In fact, the charging current increases to 1/5 of the initial value to
complete the process while normal charging increases to 1/10 during the CV process. The
charging capacity may be a little lower than the normal charge, but the process duration
will be reduced.
You can adjust the current and voltage of the battery to be
charged. The current will be used to charge or discharge the
battery to reach the storage voltage level.
The display shows the current situation during the charging pro-
cess. To stop charging, press the
BATT TYPE/STOP button once.
The STORAGE function allows safe storage for a ± long period of time. The program analyz-
es and determines whether the battery must be charged or discharged to reach the storage
voltage depending on the type of Lithium battery: 3.70V for Lilo - 3.80V for LiPo - 3.85V for
LiHv - 3.3V for LiFe per cell. If the voltage of the battery in its initial stage is higher than the
storage voltage level, the program will start discharging the battery.
You can adjust the charging current and battery voltage during
charging. When you press the
START/ENTER button, the voltage
confirmation is displayed. Then, if you confirm the voltage and
current, press the START/ENTER button again to start charging.
This indicates the current status of “FAST” charging. To stop
charging at any time, press the BATT TYPE/STOP button once.

6.5 LITHIUM BATTERY - DISCHARGE
6.6 BALANCING AND MONITORING - DISCHARGE
7. NIMH / NICD - PROGRAM
The processor has found that the voltage of one of the cells in
the lithium battery is too low.
In the example, the value of the third cell is not correct. The cell
is faulty, there is a break in the connection of the cable or plug.
The discharge current value on the left side of the display
should not exceed 1C for maximum safety, the discharge cur-
rent ranges from 0.1 to 2.0A and the final voltage on the right
side should not be lower than the voltage level recommended
by the battery manufacturer to avoid deep discharge.
To start discharging, press the
START/ENTER for more than 3
seconds.
This indicates the current status of the discharge. To stop the
discharge, press the BATT TYPE/STOP button once.
The processor monitors the individual cell voltage during «Storage Mode» and «Discharge»
of the lithium battery. The processor normalizes the voltages to be equal. To do this, the
battery balancing plug must be connected to the charger’s balancing port.
If the voltage of one or more cells varies abnormally during the procedure, the process is
stopped with an error message. You can easily find out which cell is defective by pressing
the
INC button when the error message is displayed.
These programs can be used to charge or discharge NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydride) or NiCd
(Nickel-Cadmium) batteries commonly used in R/C models. To change the displayed value,
press the
START/ENTER key to make it blink, then change the value using the INC (+) OR DEC
(-) key.
To start the process, press the START/ENTER button for more than 3 seconds.

14
7.1 NIMH / NICD - CHARGING
7.2 NIMH / NICD - DISCHARGING
This program allows you to charge the battery using the cur-
rent you set. In “A” mode, you must set the upper limit of the
charging current to prevent the battery from being damaged by
too high a supply current. This is because in automatic charg-
ing mode some low impedance, low capacity batteries may
generate a higher charging current from the processor. But in
“M” mode, it will charge the battery with the charging current
you set on the display. Each mode can be switched by pressing
the
INC (+) and DEC (-) buttons simultaneously while the current
field is blinking.
The display shows the current charging status . To stop the
process, press the BATT TYPE/STOP button once. An audible
tone indicates the end of the process.
Set the discharge current to the left and the final voltage to the
right. The discharge current ranges from 0.1 to 2.0A and the
final voltage ranges from 0.1 to 16.0V). To start the process,
press the
START/ENTER button for more than 3 seconds.
The display shows the current discharge status. You can
change the discharge current by pressing the
START/ENTER
button during the process. Once you change the current value,
save it by pressing the START/ENTER button again.
To stop the discharge, press the BATT TYPE/STOP button once.
The audible sound indicates the end of the process.

On the left you define the sequence and on the right the num-
ber of cycles. You can use this function to balance, refresh and
run-in a battery. To avoid an increase in battery temperature,
there will be a short cooling period which has already been
set in the “User setting” level after each charge and discharge
process. The number of cycles available is 1 to 5.
To stop the process, press the
BATT TYPE/STOP button once.
You can change the discharge or charge current by pressing
the START/ENTER button once during the process. The audible
sound indicates the end of the process.
At the end of the process, you can see the charged or dis-
charged capacity of the battery for each cycle.
By pressing the INC (+) OR DEC (-) key, the display shows the
result of each cycle in order.
Set the charging current on the left and the nominal battery
voltage on the right. The charging current is between 0.1
and 6.0A. The voltage must be adapted to the battery being
charged.
Start the charging process by pressing the
START/ENTER button
for more than 3 seconds.
This charger can also be used to charge a Pb (Lead-Acid Sulfuric Acid) battery with a
nominal voltage of 6 to 12V. Pb batteries are totally different from NiCd or NiMH batteries,
they can only provide a relatively low current compared to their capacity, and its constraints
apply in the charging process. Therefore, the optimal charging current will be 1/10 of the
capacity (e.g. a 12A battery will be charged with a charging current of Max. 1.2A). Pb
batteries cannot be charged quickly. Always follow the instructions provided by the battery
manufacturer.
When you want to change the value of a parameter in the program, press the
START/ENTER
key to make it blink and then change the value with the INC (+) OR DEC (-) key. The value
will be stored by pressing the START/ENTER key once.

9. BATTERY INTERNAL RESISTANCE TESTING PROGRAM
The screen displays the status of the charging process.
To force the charging process to stop, press the
BATT TYPE/
STOP button once. The audible sound indicates the end of the
process.
Lithium battery internal resistance is one of the important index about battery discharge
capacity and efficiency. We can know battery performance and the matching of each
battery by getting the battery resistance value. The lithium battery internal resistance value
tested by this charger is relative(not absolute), which is tested under the testing voltage.
But it can also know the battery performance and matching through the relative value. If
you want more battery performance comparison, you had better put them under the same
voltage to detect. For example, to compare two 3-cells batteries, you should ensure that the
total voltage is consistent. Testing in the single voltage of 4.20V, the test data is smaller the
performance better and the data more close to the battery the better matching nature.
Set the charging current on the left and the final battery voltage
on the right. The discharging current is between 0.1 and 2.0A.
To start the discharging process press the
START/ENTER button
for more than 3 seconds.
The screen displays the current state of discharge. You can
modify the discharge current by pressing
START/ENTER button
during the process. Once you change the current value, store it
by pressing START/ENTER button again.
To stop discharging press BATT TYPE/STOP button once. The
audible sound indicates you at the end of process.
