Operating software optimized for ease of use and maximum safety
The user can adjust charger's settings and parameters. However, the charger also
features an AUTO charge function that sets output current during the process of charging
or discharging; this can prevent fire or explosion caused by overcharging due to incorrect
charger settings, particularly for lithium batteries. If an error is detected at any point in the
charger's operating, the unit will stop the charge or discharge process and an alarm will
sound.
Integrated lithium battery cell balancer
The charger features an individual cell balancer built into the case. There's no need for
an external balancer.
Individual cell balance discharging
While discharging lithium batteries that have been plugged into the integrated balancing
port, the charger can monitor and balance the voltage of each cell individually.
The process will end automatically and an error message will indicate if the voltage of any
single cell is abnormal.
Compatible with all types of lithium batteries
The charger is capable of charging various types of lithium batteries, such as LiPo, LiFe,
and Li-Ion.
Fast charge and storage charge modes for lithium batteries
Fast charge alters the rate of change in charge current to reduce the duration of the
charging process, while the storage charge mode brings the voltage of the pack to a
suitable level for long-term storage.
Maximum safety
The charger uses Delta-peak sensitivity to automatically terminate the charging process
once the battery's voltage exceeds the specified threshold; this prevents the battery from
overcharging.
Capacity limit
The charged capacity listed on-screen is calculated by multiplying charging current and
charge time. If the charging capacity exceeds this user-specified limit, the process will be
terminated automatically.

To avoid short-circuits between the charge lead, always connect the charge cable to
the unit first and only then to the battery to be charged or discharged. Reverse the
hsequence when disconnecting.
Do not connect more than one battery pack to the charge lead at any one time.
Do not attempt to charge or discharge the following types of battery.
- Battery pack, which consists of different types of cell (including different
manufacturers).
- Battery, which is already fully charged or just slightly discharged.
- Non-rechargeable batteries(Explosion hazard).

- Batteries that require a different charge technique from NiCd, NiMH, Lilo, LiPo, LiFe
or Pb.
- Faulty or damaged battery.
- 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 of checking the following point before charge operation.
- Did you select the appropriate program, which are suitable for the type of battery?
- Did you set up adequate current for charging or discharging?
- Lithium battery pack can be composed with parallel and series circuits mixed. You
have
to check the composition of the battery pack carefully before charging.
- Are all connections firm and safe, or is there an intermittent contact at any point in
the circuit?
Charging
A specific quantity of electrical energy is fed into the battery during charge process.
The charge quantity is calculated by multiplying charge current by charge time. The
maximum permissible charge current varies according to the battery type or its
performance, and can be found in the information provided by the battery
manufacturer. It is only allowed to charge batteries at rates higher than the standard
charge current if they are expressly stated to be capable of quick-charge.
Connect the battery to charge to output terminal of the charger using suitable charge
lead. They are red, positive(+)and black, negative(-).Since the charger cannot detect
the difference between the internal resistance of the battery pack, cable resistance
and connector transfer resistance, the first requirement if the charger to work
properly is that the charge lead should be of adequate conductor cross-section. And
also high-quality connectors (normally gold-contact type) must be fitted to both ends.
- Refer to the information provided by the battery manufacturer regarding charging
methods, and verify the recommended charge current and charge time.Especially for
Lithium batteries, you have to follow the charge instruction provided by the
manufacturer strictly.
- Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily.
You have to pay attention to verify the capacity and the voltage of the Lithium battery
pack. It may be composed of parallel and series connection mixed. In parallel link
the capacity of the battery pack is multiplied by the number of cells but the voltage
remains same. That kind of voltage imbalance causes a fire or explosion during
charge process.
We recommend you compose the Lithium battery pack in series only.

Discharging
The typical purpose of discharge is to determine the residual capacity of the battery,
or to lower the voltage of battery to a defined level. When you discharge the battery
you also have to pay attention on the process same as charging. To avoid the
battery becoming deepdischarged, set the final discharge voltage correctly. Lithium
batteries should not be deepdischarged to lower than the minimum voltage, as this
leads to a rapid loss of capacity or a total failure. Generally, you do not need to
discharge Lithium battery voluntarily.
- Some rechargeable batteries are said to have a memory effect. If they are partly
used and recharged before the whole charge is drawn out, they'remember' this and
next time will only use that part of their capacity. This is a 'memory effect'. NiCd and
NiMH batteries are said to suffer from memory effect. They prefer complete cycles;
fully charge then use until empty, do not recharge before storage-allow them to selfdischarge during storage. NiMH batteries have less memory effect than NiCd.
- The Lithium battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full
discharges should be avoided if possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or
use a larger battery.
- The brand-new NiCd battery pack is partially useful with its capacity until it has
beeen subjected to 10 or more charge cycles in any case. The cyclic process of
charge and discharge will lead to optimise the capacity of battery pack.
Those warnings and safety notes are particularly important. Please follow the
instructions for a maximum safety; otherwise the charger and the battery can
be damaged violently. And also it can cause a fire to injure a human body or to
lose the property.

CONNECTING THE BATTERY
Important !!! Before connecting a battery it is absolutely essential to check one last time
that you have set the parameters correctly. If the settings are incorrect, the battery may
be damaged, and could even burst into flames or explode. To avoid short-circuits
between the banana plugs, always connect the charge leads to the charger first, and only
then to the battery. Reverse the sequence when disconnecting the pack.
The balance wire attached to the battery must
be connected to the charger with the black wire
aligned with the negative marking. Take care to
maintain correct polarity!
This diagram shows the correct way to connect
your battery to the TURNIGY 4X100W while
charging in the balance charge program mode
only.

These programs are only suitable for charging and discharging Lithium batteries with a
nominal voltage of 3.3V, 3.6V and 3.7V per cell. These batteries need to adopt different
charge technique is termed a constant voltage(CV) and constant current(CC) method.
The charge current varies according to the battery capacity and performance. The final
voltage of charge process is also very important; it should be precisely matched with the
charade voltage of the battery. They are 4.2V for LiPo, 4.1V for Lilo, and 3.6 V for LiFe.
The charge current and nominal voltage as for cell count set on the charge program must
always be correct for the battery to be charged.
When you are willing to alter the parameter value in the program, press Start/Enter key to
make it blink then change the value with INC or DEC key. The value will be stored by
pressing Start/Enter key once.
6.1 Charging Lithium battery at balance mode
This function is for balancing the voltage of Lithium-polymer battery cells while charging.
In the balance mode, the battery needs to have a balance lead to connect to the battery's
power lead to the output of charger.
In this mode, the charging process will be different from ordinary charging mode. The
internal processor of the charger will monitor the voltages of each cell of the battery pack
and controls charging current that is feeding to each cell to normalise the voltage.
Note: We recommends charging lithium batteries with a balance lead in the balance
mode only.

The charging current is getting smaller as the process goes to the near end term of
Lithium battery charging. To finish charging process earlier, this program eliminate certain
term of CV process. Actually, the charging current will goes to 1/5 from the initial value to
end the process while the normal charging goes to 1/10 during CV term. The charging

The battery is on the cyclic process of charge and discharge can
often become warm after charge or discharge period. The
program can insert a time delay to occur after each charge and
discharge process to allow the battery adequate time to cool
down before being subjected to the next process. The value
ranges from 1 to 60 minutes.
SA FETY TIME
ON 1 20Min
When you start a charge process, the integral safety timer
automatically starts running at the same time. This is
programmed to prevent overcharge the battery if it proves to be
faulty, or if the termination circuit cannot detect the battery full.
The value for the safety timer should be generous enough to
allow a full charge of the battery.
Safe timer Calculation
When charging NiCd or NiMH batteries, divide the capacity by
current, then divide the result by 11.9, set this number as the
value for safety timer setting. If the charger stopped at this
threshold, about 140% of the capacity will have been fed into the
battery.
Capacity

Safety Time
2000mAh 2.0A
(2000/2.0=1000)/11.9=84 minutes

(3300/3.0=1100)/11.9=92 minutes
