dangers. Please choose carefully.
2. Please do not use this product to charge the battery that is
not marked with the battery type. Always follow the charging
guidelines of your battery manufacturer
=================================
Nomenclature
1, Lipo: Often called a lithium polymer battery, a
battery with a nominal voltage of 3.70V and 4.20V
when fully charged.
2, LiHV: Often referred to as a high-voltage lithium
battery, a battery with a nominal voltage of 3.85V and
4.35V when fully charged.
3, LiFe: Often referred to as a lithium iron battery, a
battery with a nominal voltage of 3.30V and 3.60V
when fully charged.
4, Lion: Often referred to as a lithium-ion battery, a
battery with a nominal voltage of 3.60V and 4.10V
when fully charged.
5, LTO: often referred to as a lithium-ion battery with a
nominal voltage of 2.40V and a fully charged battery
of 2.70V.
6, NiMh: often referred to as nickel-hydrogen battery,
nominal voltage 1.20V.
7, PB：often called lead-acid battery, nominal voltage
2.00V.

2，Number of cells
Move the cursor to the position of “Cells”, short press
[Scroll Wheel] to modify the number of battery cells. The
display is as follows:
Scroll [Scroll Wheel] to adjust the value. When set
to ”Auto”, the charger will automatically identify the
number of cells connected to the battery according to
the battery voltage connected to the output port. Short
press [Scroll Wheel] and [CH/Exit] to take effect and
return to the previous interface.
=================================
Tips: 1, Over discharge or overcharge of the connected
battery may cause battery cell identification errors.
2, If the cell number is set incorrectly, it may be
insufficient to charge, or overcharge may damage the battery,
please set it carefully. 3, After Lixx batteries are connected to
the balance port, the number of battery strings can be more
accurately identified.
==================================================

3，Mode
Move the cursor to “Mode” and short press [Scroll
Wheel] to modify the work mode, as shown in the figure
below.
Lipo, LiHV, LiFe, and Lion batteries can be charged
and stored. NiMh, battery and PB battery can choose to
charge. Short press [Scroll Wheel] and [CH/Exit] to take
effect, and return to the previous interface.
4，End voltage（TVC）
Move the cursor to “End Voltage” and short press
[Scroll Wheel] to modify the end voltage of the
single-cell battery. When the working mode is charging,
it is the charging cut-off voltage, and the range is plus or
minus 50mV of the full voltage. When the working mode
is discharge, it is the discharge cut-off voltage. Scroll
[Scroll Wheel] to adjust the value, step 0.01V.

@ToolkitRC 2023
14
=================================
1, Only LiPo, LiHV, LiFe batteries can set the cut-off
voltage.
2, Do not modify the cut-off voltage when you are not
familiar with the battery characteristics.
3, The charging cut-off voltage can be set to a range of
plus or minus 50mV of full voltage.
4, TVC: English abbreviation for terminal voltage
control.
==================================================
5，Charging current
Move the cursor to the Charging Current” position
and short press [Scroll Wheel] to modify the current.
Scroll [Scroll Wheel] to adjust the value, step by 0.1A.
Scroll [Scroll Wheel] quickly to increase or decrease
quickly. The charger supports up to 15A.

=================================
Tips:
1. When charging, please ensure someone is
supervising the charge throughout the process to deal
with abnormalities safely.
2. When charging a lithium battery, only connecting to
the main port will not perform balance management.
Please pay attention to the balance of the battery. After
connecting to the balance port, it will automatically
begin balance management.
3. After charging is completed, unplug the battery and
insert a new battery, it will automatically continue to
charge and discharge according to the set mode. When
set to a fixed number of cells, batteries with the same
number of cells need to be connected. When setting to
automatically detect the battery string number, please
pay attention to whether the detected cell number
matches the actual number.
