CHARGING BATTERIES

IMPORTANT!! ALWAYS charge a LiPo battery in a
location that is fi reproof. NEVER leave the battery
unattended while being charged! If the battery feels
warm during charge, remove the battery at once and
disconnect the charger from the power source.

● Do not attempt to use this charger with NiCd, NiMH
or different types of Lithium-Ion batteries as they
are not compatible!

● Do not leave the charger unattended while charging.
Disconnect the battery and remove input power
from charger immediately if either becomes hot!
However, it is normal for the charger to get warm.

● Disconnect the battery from the charger
immediately and remove to a fi reproof location if
the battery begins to swell or smoke!

● Only use the included car adapter or approved AC
adapter to power the charger.

● Do not use charger with car running.

● Do not allow water, moisture or foreign objects into

the charger.

● Do not block the air intake holes, which could
cause the charger to overheat.

● Do not place the charger or any battery on a
fl ammable surface or near a combustible material
while in use.

● Do not charge on a carpet, cluttered workbench,
paper, plastic, vinyl, leather, wood, or inside an
R/C model.

● Never charge inside a full-sized vehicle.

● Always disconnect charger from input power when

not in use.

● Do not attempt to charge a battery if it is swollen
or hot.

● Keep out of reach of children.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

● Charge only lithium-polymer (LiPo) rechargeable
batteries that are 2S (2 cells in series) 7.4V
nominal voltage, from 150 mAh to 750 mAh, which
have a balance connector.

To charge a battery:

1. Connect input power to the charger. The GREEN LED
will be lit, indicating standby mode. The RED LED will
be OFF.

2. Connect the battery to be charged to the balance plug.

The RED LED will also be lit, and remain RED during

charging. Both LEDs should be lit solid while charging.

3. When the battery is fully charged, the GREEN LED
will turn OFF. Remove the battery from the charger
at this time.

4. Charging time depends on level of discharge and
cap acity of the battery. To estimate how lo ng it shoul d
take to charge an empty battery, divide the capacity
of the battery in mAh by the charge rate in milliamps:

200 mAh battery /450 mA ~ 30 minutes
350 mAh battery /450 mA ~ 50 minutes
