When the charge or discharge of lithium battery is
started with connecting the balance cable to the balance port of the charger.
LiPo = 3.7V~4.3V LiIon = 3.6V~4.1V LiFe = 3.2V~3.7V
For safety purposes, this charger is designed to automatically deliver 1C charge rate
to lithium batteries Example : LiPo cell of 1500mAh capacity : 1C = 1500mAh ( = 1.5A )

The maximum voltage for LiIon is 4.1V per cell, LiPo is 4.2V per cell and LiFe is
3.7V per cell. Therefore, it is extremely important to choose the correct battery type
to be charged, as each Lithium battery has the different voltage level. Otherwise, it
may cause very serious damage to the batteries and increase the risk of a re !

◎ NEW BATTERY CHARGE
◎ Pb BATTERY SAFETY
When the new NiCd/ NiMH are charged at the rst time, charge process might be terminated within minutes, it is not because charger or battery have a problem, but because
battery is not stabilized yet. In this case, you need to charge battery after increasing the
delta peak value or to charge battery after discharging and cooling down battery.
Do not use the battery, if the charged capacity of battery exceeds battery capacity in
specication. If such a phenomenon arises, repeat to charge and discharge more over 5
times and charge again. Such a phenomenon might arise till the third time charge.
Pb battery needs to be charged every day. If the charged capacity of battery is dropped
below 50%, this battery might not be recharged. The average charge time of Pb battery
is 4~5 hours. Do not charge Car battery, the charger might get the serious damage
◎ LiIon, LiPo, LiFe BATTREIES SAFETY
1. Always charge the batteries that have Lithium ion or Lithium polymer mark and do not charge
the batteries that have Lithium mark. Failure to do so will damage the batteries and may
cause re or personal injury.
2. Always charge the batteries that the cell voltage ( 3.3V / 3.6V / 3.7V ) is written
3. Ensure that the charger and battery are placed on a non-ammable surface whilst charging.
4. Never charge Lithium ion/Polymer/Fe batteries inside a vehicle whatever the circumstances.
5. Always ensure that the charger is correctly set for the battery being charged, checking both
voltage and capacity. Be particularly careful if using a series/parallel battery pack, or if using
packs of different specications with the same charger.
6. Never charge at a rate higher than that recommended by the cell manufacturer, this can be
very dangerous.
7. Do not leave Lithium ion/Polymer/Fe batteries unattended whilst they are charging. Monitor-
ing the batteries during charging is very important.
8. Always monitor the temperature of the battery being charged every few minutes. If the battery
becomes hot to the touch, disconnect it from the charger immediately and allow to cool. Do
not recommence charging until the battery and charger have been checked for compatibility
and the charger settings have been conrmed as being correct.
9. In the unlikely event of the Lithium ion/Polymer/Fe battery catching re DO NOT use water to
attempt to put the re out, instead use sand or a re extinguisher designed for electrical res.
10. When used correctly, Lithium ion/Polymer/Fe battery packs are as safe as any other type of
rechargeable battery pack. However they do require different charge regimes to the longer
established Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride technologies and have the potential
of catching re if severely mistreated.
11. If Lithium Polymer battery packs are short-circuited or severely over-charged elemental Lith-
ium may be deposited internally, and if the battery pouch is damaged this can escape from
inside the battery. If this occurs a re may be caused, as elemental Lithium is highly reactive
when exposed to water or moisture, producing ammable hydrogen gas and corrosive
fumes. Elemental Lithium is not produced unless the battery pack is severely mistreated, so
in normal usage there is no likelihood of explosion or re.
12. Lithium Ion/Polymer battery packs must NEVER be discharged below 3 volts per cell (LiFe
2.0V) as this will result in damage to the cells. If the voltage is allowed to drop below 3 volts
per cell the battery voltage may seem to recover following a charge, but the battery may
not then give its full nominal capacity and a reduction in performance is likely - allowing the
voltage to drop below 3 volts per cell will invalidate all warranty claims.
Page 19
19
13. Never charge Lithium Polymer battery packs at greater than 4.2V per cell, Lithium Ion
at 4.1V volts per cell or LiFe at greater than 3.7V per cell as this will cause irreversible
damage to the cells and will invalidate all warranty claims.
14. Never charge Lithium battery packs above their maximum charge rate. This can dam-
age the pack and can be dangerous. Generally, Lithium Polymer packs should not be
charged above 2C (2 x Capacity). However, some newer packs do allow charging at up
to 5C, but charging at these higher rates will reduce the life of the pack.
e.g Pack of 2500mAh capacity : 2C = 5000mAh = 5A max charge current.

will result in a signicant drop in voltage under load and will dramatically reduce the
number of charge/discharge cycles the battery pack will give. If disposing of Lithium
battery packs ensure that the pack is fully discharged by using a light bulb, electric
motor or similar to completely discharge the pack.
