INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your choice of SKYRC Ultimate 1000W Balance Charger/Discharger. This unit is simple to use, but the operation of a sophisticated charger such as SKYRC Ultimate 1000W does require some knowledge on the part of the user. These operating instructions are designed to ensure that you quickly become familiar with its functions.
INTRODUCTION Please read this entire operating manual completely and attentively before using this product, as it covers a wide range of information on operating and safety. Or please do use this product in company with a specialist! Output Display Large 2x16 LCD for Easy Reading Balancing Port Temperature Sensor Port Batt Prog DEC/INC /Stop Button Button Start/Enter Button Cooling Fan USB Port for 1. PC Control & Firmware Upgrade 2.
SPECIAL FEATURES Optimized Operating Software Ultimate 1000W features the so-called AUTO function that set the feeding current during the process of charging or discharging. Especially for lithium batteries, it can prevent the overcharging which may lead to an explosion due to the user's fault. It can disconnect the circuit automatically and alarm once detecting any malfunction.
SPECIAL FEATURES Fast and Storage Mode of Lithium Battery Purposes to charge lithium battery varies, 'fast' charge reduce the duration of charging, whereas 'store' state can control the final voltage of your battery, so as to store for a long time and protect useful time of the battery. Re-Peak Mode of NiMH/NiCd Battery In re-peak charge mode, the charger can peak charge the battery once, twice or three times in a row automatically. This is good for making certain the battery is fully charged.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES These warnings and safety notes are particularly important. Please follow the instructions for maximum safety; otherwise the charger and the battery can be damaged or at worst it can cause a fire. Never leave the charger unattended when it is connected to its power supply. If any malfunction is found, TERMINATE THE PROCESS AT ONCE and refer to the operation manual. Keep the charger well away from dust, damp, rain, heat, direct sunshine and vibration. Never drop it.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Never attempt to charge or discharge 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.
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 .

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.
