This diagram shows the correct way to connect your battery to the e3 charger while charging.
Failure to connect as shown in this diagram will damage this charger.
CAUTION:
SKYRC e3 charger comes with the built in power supply. You can connect the AC power cord to
the AC socket (100-240V AC) directly.
Insert the AC power cord into the charger.
Insert the AC plug into a wall socket (100-240V). All LEDs will light green and flash red to
indicate the charger is ready to charge.
Connect battery balance wire to balance port which is in front side of the charger, after 2
seconds, the charger detects the voltage of the battery and starts to charge.
The charger starts charging. The LEDs will glow constant red. If the battery pack is 2-cell,
Cell 1 and Cell 2 LEDs will glow constant red; if the battery pack is 3-cell, Cell 1, Cell 2 and
Cell 3 LEDs will glow constant red.
When a cell is completely charged, its corresponding LED will glow constant green. A 2-cell
pack is fully charged when LEDs 1 and 2 are constant green. For 3-cell pack, all LEDs will
glow constant green to indicate the pack is fully charged.
Unplug the battery from the charger and the charge status LED will stay green and flash red
which indicates the charger is ready to charge another battery.
