Foreword
T o enable you to make full use of all the features of your new charger , read the following description
carefully and in full prior to using the charger for the rst time. In particular, please observe the
warning and safety notices. These instructions must be kept in a safe place and handed over to
any subsequent user of the charger.
Intended use
In the QUICK LiPo 15, you have acquired a sophisticated product with excellent features. Its state-ofthe-art semi-conductor technology controlled by a powerful microprocessor provides excellent charging
properties, means that the charger is easy to use and ensures optimum reliability. The QUICK LiPo 15
can be used to charge virtually all lithium polymer batteries used in model-building. Connect the charger's
100 ~ 240 V AC input to a mains wall socket or the charger's DC input to a car battery or power supply unit
with a capacity of at least 10 A with 11 to 15 VDC.
Notice!
Always follow the charging instructions of the battery manufacturers and adhere to the charging current
and charging times. The quick-charge process may only be used by batteries that have explicitly been
described as suitable for the high charging current that this involves. Please be aware that new batteries
may only reach their full capacity after several charging/discharging cycles. Charging may also be
terminated prematurely when new batteries are used. You must carry out a series of test charges to
check that the automatic termination function is working correctly and reliably and that the battery is being
charged to the correct capacity.

Delivered items
The requirements placed on rechargeable batteries vary depending on how they are used. This in turn means
that various types of connectors are required. Please note that connections, names and polarities may vary
from one manufacturer to another. You must therefore only ever use compatible original connectors of the
same type.
You must also only use original charging cables with a sufficient wire cross-section.
The set includes:
• QUICK LiPo 15 charger
• Instructions
