Restrictions / Limitations:
The Lithium Charge Converter requires the user to verify and select the correct number of cells to match the battery pack about to be charged.
Selecting the correct cell count is the sole responsibility of the user and neglecting to verify and ensure the proper cell count may result in damage and or fire.
Only the following approved NiCd or NiMH chargers should be used:
o Dynamite - DYN4036 - Prophet Plus™ AC/DC Peak Charger o LRP – 41550 - Pulsar Competition ** o Novak – 4490 – Millennium Pro ** o Orion Avionics - ORI62200 - Advanced Flight Charger ## o Much More - MM-CTXC – CTX Cell Master V1.0
** These chargers will not charge more than 3 cells packs ## Using the NiMH or Nicd modes
Only use the Lithium Charge Converter with the following approved LiPo battery packs:
o Losi LiPo - LOSB9810 - 11.1V 2400mAh 3C LiPo TxPk: Z1, Helios o Losi LiPo - LOSB9811 - 11.1V 2400mAh 3C LiPo TxPk: M11, MX-3 o Losi LiPo - LOSB9820 - 7.4V 2000mAh 2C LiPo Rx Pack o Thunder Power - THP21002SPL – 2100mAh 2C 7.4V LiPo o Thunder Power - THP20703SX – 2070mAh 3S 11.1V Li-Po o Thunder Power - THP20704SX – 2070mAh 4S 14.8V LiPo o Thunder Power - THP20705SX – 2070mAh 5S 18.5V LiPo
Only use the Lithium Charge Converter with the following approved M1 battery packs:
o A123 Racing - o A123 Racing – o A123 Racing -
HS-2300-2S1P – 6.6V 2300mAh Hypersonic
HS-4600-2S2P – 6.6V 4600mAh Hypersonic
HS-2300-3S1P – 9.9V 2300mAh Hypersonic
Power Supply must be capable of providing enough voltage and amperage to charge the batteries. For example, charging of a 4 or 5 Cell LiPo battery requires more than 12 volts.

Operating Procedure:
1. Connect the battery to the converter
2. Yellow and Green LED should be flashing slowly -> Standby mode
3. Select the battery type with the Battery Type Slide Switch (M1 -Blue LED is ON )
4. The number of Yellow LED’s ON solid will represent the estimated number of cells; this count is ONLY an estimate of the number of cells actually in the battery pack. It is the user’s sole responsibility to ensure the number of cells in the battery pack match the selected number of cells on the Lithium Charge Converter.
5. If the estimated number of cells displayed does not match your battery pack, you should press the "Up" or "Down" key to correct the number of cells.
Note: It is the user’s sole responsibility
to set the number of cells on the Lithium Charge Converter, if the cell count selected is less t han the actual number of cells, then the battery will not be fully charged. If the cell count selected is greater than the actual number of cells, the battery will become overcharged (very dangerous, and may cause fire)
.
6. Press and hold the Start Key; Lithium Charge Converter will be ready to start charging (Green/Yellow LED = ON solid through charge).
7. Adjust the current of the Charger (set to 1C) to match the battery to be charged.
Note: 1C is calculated for a 2300mAh LiPo as follows: 2300 * 0.001 = 2.3A
8. Connect the NiCd/NiMH Charger to the input lead and start the charger.
9. Lithium Charge Converter’s Green and Yellow LED will flash when charging is complete.
10. During charging, if you press the start key, it will terminate the charging process. You can also stop by terminating the NiCd / NiMH charger.
11. Disconnect the battery from Lithium Charge Converter after charging is done. If left on, the converter will consume current from the battery, and the battery can be over-discharged as a result.

Safety Precautions:
- Read all safety precautions prior to each use
- Do not use this Lithium Charge Converter with any charger other than one documented in the Restrictions / Limitations section above or damage and possibly fire will result.
- Do not attempt to charge any battery pack not documented in the Restrictions / Limitations section above; doing so can result in overheating, damage or fire.
- Before start of charge, it is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure the estimated number of cells is actually the same as the battery you are about to charge. If the estimated count is not correct, follow the instructions to adjust to the correct count prior to beginning of charge.
- Read all safety precautions provided with the battery to be charged prior to using the Lithium Charge Converter
- Before charging, check battery type for LiPo or M1, and re-verify the number of cells in the battery to be charged
- Keep away from moisture, rain, direct sunshine, dropping or vibration
- Keep away from flammable objects
- Do not connect directly to a power supply
- Do not use if input power is over 8A; doing so will result in overheating, damage or fire.
- Do not discharge any battery through the Lithium Charge Converter even if the approved charger supports discharging. This will over-discharge the LiPo/M1 battery and cause permanent damage or fire.
- Do not charge NiCd / NiMH / or lead acid batteries
- Do not attempt to charge dead or damaged batteries
- Ensure proper polarity for connection to charger
- Ensure proper polarity at battery connection
- Do not attempt to charge any single-cell batteries; doin g so will result in overheating, damage or fire.
