Important Notes:
Use the IQ312 charger only with Li-Ion / LiMnO2 cells with 3.6V-3.7V and NiCd,
NiMH cells with 1.2V rechargeable batteries.
With the IQ312 you can automatically charge the following types of cells:
Li-Ion:
26700, 22650, 21700, 20700, 18650, 18500, 18490, 17670, 17500, 17355,
16340 (RCR123), 14500, 10440
NiMH/NiCd: AA, AAA, A, Sub-C, C
Do not use the charger with other types of batteries (for example: Alkaline or other
Systems).
Use the charger only in dry and closed rooms with normal conditions.
If the charger is not in use, we recommend disconnecting the power cable from the
socket.
During the charging process, you should not leave the charger unattended.
Keep the batteries out of the reach of children.
Always use the right charging current for each battery. You can find the right current
in the manufacturers specification.
When new batteries are in use for the first time, it might be required that the batteries
need to be charged and discharged several times before they reach their optimum
capacity.
The charger must be used on a non-flammable base.
Heat gets produced if batteries get charged. It is very important to ensure that the
charger is placed in an incombustible area (pay attention to carpets, paper,
flammable liquids, furniture and so on).

User Manual
The IQ312 works in a mode called „ Current Auto Set Mode “. This means, for every inserted
battery, the current is set automatically. This feature allows a simple and safe use of the charger.
The automatically chosen charging current depends on the chemistry the inserted battery has,
regardless of its size or capacity. All twelve channels are independent, so every channel can be
occupied by different batteries, that are distinguished as follows:
Type 1: NiMH, NiCd:
Please insert your batteries in your IQ312. The charger can be powered before or after
inserting the batteries, it makes no difference for the functionality. After the charger
recognizes the NiMH or NiCd cells, the charging process starts automatically. The current
gets set to 500mA for each slot.
Type of battery Charging current per slot
- mA
NiMH, NiCd 500
Table 1: Charging current for NiMH and NiCd
After the charger has accepted the battery, the display lights up for 30s and signalizes
hereby that the battery is alright and ready to charge. Also a charge-current-arrow of the
according channel on the display shows that the battery is already charging.
Also visible on the display, there are bars that show the actual state of charge of each
channel.
Type 2: Li-Ion:
Charging Li-Ion batteries works the same as charging NiMH or NiCd batteries. You can
insert your batteries before or after powering the charger. That makes no difference in
functionality. Now there are two options how to choose the charging current for each
battery. It depends on which slots are used.
Every two adjacent slots (e.g. slot 1 and 2; slot 3 and 4; slot 5 and 6 and so on) are paired
and share their power. If only one of two paired slots (e.g. slot 5 is empty and slot 6 is
charging) are occupied by a Li-Ion battery, then the charging current is set to 1000mA.
Otherwise if both paired slots are occupied, the charging current gets shared and every
slot is sourced with 500mA.
Battery Type Charging current if one of
two paired slots is occupied
Charging current if both of
two paired slots are
occupied
- mA mA

Charging has finished:
If the charging process has finished, the charger signalizes it clearly with a flashing of the
display backlight three times in a row. This procedure looks the same for any type of
battery. Further, the charging bars on the display become stable, that also shows that the
according battery is fully charged.
„Light On“ - Button:
With the aid of the “Light On” button you can turn on the display background light by
pressing the button once. If the button gets pressed and held down for a few seconds, the
display background light flashes once, that signalizes the background light is now turned
on permanently. If you want to turn off the background light again, you must press and
hold the button again for a few seconds until the display flashes again.
Maintenance:
The chargers are maintenance free but should be cleaned sometimes. The charger should
be disconnected from the power supply before cleaning. Use only soft and dry tissues (like
cotton textiles) do not use any liquid.
