Warning and Safety Notes Warning and Safety Notes
Have you selected the appropriate program for the battery type you are charging?
Have you set up adequate current for charging or discharging?
Have you checked the battery voltage? Please note that Lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel or in series, i.e. a 2 cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in series)
Have you checked that all connections are firm and secure?
Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.
Charging
During charge process, a specific quantity of electrical energy will be fed into the battery, which is calculated by multiplying charge current. The maximum permissible charge current differs on different types of battery and its performance, which can also be found in the information by the battery manufacturer. Only batteries to be capable of quick-charge are allowed to be charged at higher rates than the standard charge current.
Connect the battery to the charger terminal, red is positive while black is negative. Due to the different resistance between cable and connector, the charger can not detect the battery pack's resistance. To work properly for a charger, it's essential for its charge lead to be of adequate conductor cross-section, and high quality gold-plated connectors must be fitted to both ends.
Please always refer to the manual by battery manufacturer about recommended ways of charging, charging current and time, especially for a Lithium battery, which must be charged according to the instruction strictly.
Special attention must be paid to the Lithium battery connection.
Never attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily.
Always remember: Lithium battery can be wired in parallel or in series. In parallel connection, the battery capacity is calculated by multiplying each individual battery cell capacity with total voltage staying the same. Voltage imbalance may cause fire or explosion. Lithium battery is highly recommended to charge in series.
Discharging
The main purpose of discharging is to clean residual battery capacity, or to discharge the battery to a defined level of voltage. Final discharge voltage must be set correctly to avoid over-discharging. Lithium battery can not be discharged to be lower than its required minimum voltage, or it will cause a rapid loss of capacity or a total failure. Please pay attention to the minimum voltage of Lithium battery to protect it.
Some rechargeable batteries have memory effect. If they are partly used and recharged before whole charging is accomplished, they will remember this and only use that part of capacity next time. Above is called memory effect. It is said that both NiMH and NiCd batteries suffer from memory effect, NiCd, however, suffers more.

Commonly used terms
Final charge voltage: the voltage at which the battery's charge limit (capacity limit) is reached. The charge process switches from a high current to a low maintenance rate (trickle charge) at this point. From this point on further high current charging would cause overheating and eventual terminal damage to the pack.
Final discharge voltage: the voltage at which the battery's discharge limit is reached. The chemical composition of the batteries determines the level of this voltage. Below this voltage the battery enters the deep discharge zone. Individual cells within the pack may become reverse polarized in this condition, and this can cause permanent damage.
A, mA: unit of measurement relating to charge or discharge current.1000 mA = 1 A (A=Ampere,mA=Milliampere)
Ah, mAh: unit of measurement for the capacity of a battery (Amperes x time unit; h = hour). If a pack is charged for one hour at a current of 2 A, it has been fed 2 Ah of energy. It receives the same quantity of charge (2 Ah) if it is charged for 4 hours at 0.5 A, or 15 minutes (=1/4 h) at 8 A.
'C'-rating: Capacity is also referred to as the 'C' rating. Some battery suppliers recommend charge and discharge currents based on the battery 'C' rating. A battery's '1C' current is the same number as the battery's rated capacity number, but noted in mA or amps. A 600mAh battery has a 1C current value of 600mA, and a 3C current value of (3 x 600mA) 1800mA or
1.8A. The 1C current value for a 3200mAh battery would be 3200mA (3.2A).
Nominal voltage(V): The nominal voltage of the battery pack can be determined as follows;
-.NiCd or NiMH: multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 1.2. A 8-cell pack will have a nominal voltage of 9.6 volts (8x1.2).
-.LiPo: multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.7. A 3-cell LiPo wired in series will have a nominal voltage of 11.1 volts (3x3.7).
-.LiIo: multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.6. A 2-cell LiIo wired in series will have a nominal voltage of 7.2 volts (2x3.6).
-.LiFe: multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.3. A 4-cell LiIo wired in series will have a nominal voltage of 13.2 volts (4x3.3).
-.LiHV: multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.7V. A 4-cell LiHV wired in series will have a nominal voltage of 14.8 volts (4x3.7). If the nominal voltage of the battery is not printed on the battery's label, consult your battery manufacturer or supplier. Do not guess the rated voltage of battery.
