Warnings:

The EOS 0610i DUOII is a carefully-designed charger with many
built-in safety features, such as reverse polarity protection, input
voltage error warning, and cell-count mismatch warnings for lithium
chemistry batteries. HOWEVER, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
USER TO INSURE THAT THE CHARGER IS CONFIGURED AND USED IN
A SAFE MANNER IN PROPER ENVIRONMENT.

• Always be sure that the charger is properly configured for

the correct battery type

• Be sure that your lithium battery pack balance connector

matches the multi-adapter type connected to the charger.

• SYNC MODE charging should start with packs at nearly equal

discharge states (see more details in text)

• Be sure that the batteries you charge are capable of

charging at the rate you select

• Never charge batteries unattended

• Charge only in a fire-resistant environment, non-flammable

surfaces such as on concrete or brick

• Do not charge near easily flammable materials

• Do not charge batteries inside a model

• Charging outdoors is recommended whenever practical

• Use only high-quality gold 4mm bullet connectors for charge

output cable connection to the charger. See “setup”

• Properly insulate and regularly inspect all connectors to

eliminate the possibility of short circuit. Damage caused by
output short circuit is not covered by warranty.

• Never allow the charger case to contact an AC/DC power

supply case while powered

• Do not drop or cause other shock to the charger, nor subject

it to moisture, condensation or liquids

• Do not attempt to charge battery packs made from different

types of cells, a mixture of old and new cells, or cells made
with chemistry not supported by the EOS 0610i DUOII

• NEVER attempt to charge “non-rechargeable” cells

• Do not open the case of the charger under any

circumstances. Doing so will void the warranty

• Keep the charger away from children or pets at all times.

• NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHARGE A SINGLE BATTERY

ACROSS BOTH PORTS.

SO WILL DAMAGE THE CHARGER, BATTERY, AND WILL VOID
YOUR WARRANTY.

DUOII is designed to charge single packs up to 6S max.

For flight packs larger than 6S, DUOII supports SYNC MODE
charging of two packs to make a single series-wired flight
pack. (so 2x2S=4S up to 2x6S=12S series flight packs are

possible)

HIGH RISK CHARGING ADVISORY

Avoid charging batteries indoors. If you must charge indoors – or any
place injury to persons or damage to property could occur in the event
of fire – then be sure to:
* Keep battery well away from flammables (2 meters or more)
* Contain battery in a heavy fireproof container (such as a brick box)
* Always monitor the charge

HYPERION ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE OR INJURY
FOR INDOOR or other HIGH RISK CHARGING ACTIVITY

GENERAL SETUP and NOTES

The EOS0610iDUOII comes with male 4mm Bullet connectors (aka ‘banana plugs’) attached to the power INPUT cables.
These cables are appropriate for attaching directly to most high-quality AC-DC power supply units, such as the BK Precision
(USA) model 1692(15V, 40A, 600W). Also included are large Terminal Clips with matching 4mm female bullet connectors, for
attaching directly to 12V~24V lead-acid batteries.
Output side 4mm Male Connector + Cable assemblies (#HP-EOSOUTCORD x2) are also supplied. Carefully solder your
preferred battery connector to the free ends, with correct Red (+) / Black (-) Polarity. If you make up additional output cables,
note that MINIMUM inner cable diameter should be 2.5mm (14ga) and MAXIMUM cable length is 20cm (8”).
It is critically important that you use either a fully charged 12V~24V lead-acid automobile battery (or better, deep-cycle
marine battery) - or a high quality AC-DC power supply in the range of 12V to 28V DC output, with minimum current rating of
10A. When charging high voltage batteries at high current (charger output 360W) the AC/DC Power Supply (PS) should be 15V
minimum with rating of 350W or more, to insure reliable performance. Note that PS load control features DO allow you to use
lower-rated power supplies reliably, but that total charger output wattage will be limited accordingly. (See details later in this
manual).
If you have any trouble charging after confirming that input and output cables are properly connected and of the proper
materials, be sure to check the charger on an automotive battery. Many problems are associated with poor quality or
inadequate switching AC-DC power supplies. Use PS Load control as needed to reduce load on your PS, or upgrade your PS.
If, after carefully reading the following pages on usage, you have any difficulty using the charger please refer to the
troubleshooting guide and warranty terms at the end of these instructions. It is best to carefully check your charger before
making a return, as problems in setup, cabling, or power supply are much more common than defects in the charger. Chargers
returned by the user and later found not defective will only be returned to the user at the user’s expense and may incur a service
charge.

Memory Positions for Charging, and Settings per Battery Type

Ten MEMORY positions - On Each Channel - M0 to M9 - allow you to set parameters for CHARGING your packs, such as BATTERY
TYPE [NiMH, NiCd, LiPo, LiIon, LiFePO4, (A123), Lead-Acid], battery CAPACITY, Charge RATE, Cutoff Voltage, Temperature, and
more.

BATTERY CHARGING - Let’s try it once to learn it….

(Example: LiPo battery with balance connector. Follow the flow charts as you go…)

UP/DOWN: Scroll through the settings within Menus, Data Views, and Selects values for Settings
ENTER: Selects any Setting to CHANGE / Charge START / Charge STOP
CH: (not pictured left) Selects which screen you are reading: Port #1 or Port #2.

Attach the charger to an appropriate DC power supply. Connect the Output Cable 4mm bullet connectors to the Red (+) and
Black (-) CH#1 output port on left side of the charger. Connect your Battery Main Connector to the Mating Connector you have
previously soldered to the Output Cable set. Connect your Lithium Polymer battery Balance Connector to the EOS Balance
Multi-Adapter. ALWAYS USE THE BALANCER(s) WHEN CHARGING LITHIUM BASED PACKS FOR SAFETY!!
(See end of these instructions for more information and balance multi-adapters for various brand lithium packs).

Note: Always connect the Output Cable set to charger first, then battery. After charging is finished, always disconnect the
Battery main wire connectors from Output Cable set first, then disconnect Output Cable set from charger.

After the Welcome screen, the charger will start on CH#1 and display the most recently used memory position.

(see flowchart (2) MEMORY DISPLAY at this time)

Press CH to select which charger or port screen you are reading, ‘1 or 2’ will be shown in the top, right-hand corner
Pressing ENTER once will make the Memory Position start flashing. Flashing values can be changed with UP / DOWN keys.
While Mem Position is flashing, Press DOWN to scroll through the ten available memory positions.
Press ENTER again to confirm the memory position that you wish to use.
From the memory screen, now press DOWN to get to BATT TYPE, press ENTER to start BATT TYPE flashing for selection.
Press DOWN until you see your desired Battery Type (LiPo in this case). Press ENTER to confirm.
Press DOWN again to select Pack Voltage which matches your battery

Note: the Charger shows both pack voltage and the number of cells in Series (S) on this screen, matching the Voltage and
Battery Type you have selected. If the “S” and the Voltage don’t match your battery, you have the Wrong Battery Type
selected (like confusing LiIon 3.6v with LiPo 3.7v types). Use UP key to reach BATT TYPE again, and reset BATT TYPE properly.

Press DOWN to get to BATT CAPACITY; press ENTER to make the mAh value flash and adjust with the UP or DOWN buttons
until it matches your battery, by increments of 100mAh (to max of 50,000mAh). Press ENTER to confirm.
If your battery is 730mAh, for example, you could set this to 700mAh. The default CHARGE RATE (set in next screen) for
lithium is 1C of capacity (equal to 0.7A for a 700mAh setting). But allowed Max Rate is adjustable independently up to 5C for
lithium polymer 3.7v/cell types, so the BATT CAPACITY setting mainly provides additional safety monitoring.

Press DOWN to get to CHG CURRENT. This is limited to 2C with respect to the battery capacity for Lithium Polymer (LiPo

3.7v/cell types) and Lithium Ion (LiIon 3.6v/cell types). CAUTION! For other cell types, there is no restriction, up to the 10A
limit of the charger, so BE SURE you know what CHG CURRENT setting to use for your battery (see also below text on cell types).

Press DOWN to TEMPERATURE CUT-OFF. Requires option part #HP-EOSTMPSEN or #HP-EOS1210I-SEN, temp sensor. This is
most often used by advanced users for NiMH charging. The Default setting is 50 degrees Celsius.

MODE: Before Charging/Discharging is started: Scrolls between MENUS for MEMORY (Charging), USER
SETUP, DATA VIEW, BALANCER. MODE also selects SOLO and SYNC modes for charging packs greater than
6S
MODE: During Charging/Discharging: Scrolls between VIEW MODES: MEMORY, DATA VIEW, And DATA
QUICK VIEW screens.
