WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES

Never attempt to charge or the following types of batteries.

A battery pack which consists of different types of cells (including different
manufacturers)
A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly discharged.
Non-rechargeable batteries (Explosion hazard).
Batteries that require a different charge technique from NiCd, NiMh, LiPo or Gel
cell (Pb, Lead acid).
A faulty or damaged battery.
A battery fitted with an integral charge circuit or a protection circuit.
Batteries installed in a device or which are electrically linked to other
components.
Batteries that are not expressly stated by the manufacturer to be suitable for the
currents the charger delivers during the charge process.

Please bear in mind the following points before commencing charging:

Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery you are
charging?
Did you set up adequate current for charging or discharging?
Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired in
parallel and 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 is fed into the
battery. The charge quantity is calculated by multiplying charge current by charge
time. The maximum permissible charge current varies depending on the battery
type or its performance, and can be found in the information by the battery
manufacturer. Only batteries that are expressly stated to be capable of quick­charge are allowed to be charged at rates higher than the standard charge
current.

Connect the battery to the terminal of the charger: red is positive and black is
negative. Due to the difference between resistance of cable and connector, the
charger can not detect resistance of the battery pack, the essential requirement
for the charger to work properly is that the charge lead should be of adequate
conductor cross-section, and high quality connectors which are normally gold­plated should be fitted to both ends.

Always refer to the manual by battery manufacturer about charging methods,
recommended charging current and charging time. Especially, the lithium battery
should be charged according the charging instruction provided by the
manufacturer strictly.

T100

WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES

Attention should be paid to the connection of lithium battery especially.

Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily.

Please get highlighted that lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in
series. In the parallel connection, the battery s capacity is calculated by
multiplying single battery capacity by the number of cells with total voltage stay
the same. The voltages imbalance may cause fire or explosion .Lithium battery is
recommended to charge in series.

COMMONLY USED TERMS

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).
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.
