3. Warnings and safety notes Never leave the charge unsupervised when it is connected to its power supply. If any malfunction is observed immediately terminate the process and refer to the operation manual. Keep away the unit from dust, damp, rain, heat, direct, sunshine and vibration. Do not dorp it. The circuit of the unit is designed to be powered by 11.0~18.0V DC only. This unit and the battery to charge or discharge should be set up on a head-resistant, non-inflammable and non-conductive surface.
3. Warnings and safety notes - 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.
3. Warnings and safety notes 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.

5. Lithium polymer balance charge program connection diagram CONNECTING THE CHARGER TURNIGY 4X100W comes with male 4mm Bullet connectors attached to the power INPUT cables. These cables are appropriate for attaching directly to most high-quality AC-DC power supply units, such as Hobbyking 540W power supply (Part No.17755 200240V; Part No.17754 100-120V). Also included are large Terminal Clips with matching 4mm female bullet connectors, for attaching directly to 12V car batteries.
6. Lithium battery(LiPo/Lilo/LiFe)program 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.
6. Lithium battery(LiPo/Lilo/LiFe)program 6.2 Charging of Lithium Battery This charging mode is for charging Li-Po/Ion/Fe battery without balance lead. Note: We recommends charging lithium batteries with a balance lead in the balance mode only. - + DEC INC Batt type Stop - + DEC INC Start '> 3 seconds' Enter The left side of the first line shows the type of battery you choose. The value on the left of the second line of the charger is current user set.
6. Lithium battery(LiPo/Lilo/LiFe)program This displays the number of cells you set up and the processor detects. R shows the number of cells detected by the charger and S is the number of cells set by you at the previous screen. If both numbers are identical you can start charging by press Start/Enter button. If not, press Batt Type/Stop button to go back to previous screen to carefully check the number of cells of the battery pack before going ahead.

Lithium battery(LiPo/Lilo/LiFe)program 6.5 Discharging Lithium battery - + - + DEC INC Batt type Stop DEC INC The value of discharge current on the left can not exceed 1C, and the value on the right can not be under the voltage recommended by the manufacturer to avoid deep discharging. Press Start/Enter for more than 3 seconds to start discharging. Start '> 3 seconds ' Enter Start Enter This displays the number of cells you set up and the processor detects.
7. Pb( lead-sulphuric acid) battery program This is programmed for charging Pb(lead-sulphuric acid) battery with nominal voltage from 2 to 36V. Pb batteries are totally different from NiCd or NiMH batteries. They can only deliver relatievely lower current compare to their capacity, and similar restrictions definitely apply to charge. So the optimal charge current will be 1/10 of the capacity. Pb batteries must not be charged rapidly. Always follow the instruction is supplied by the manufacturer of battery.
8. NiMH/NiCd battery program These programs are for charging or discharging NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydride) or NiCd (Nickel-Cadmium) battery commonly used for R/C model aplications. To alter the value at the display, press Start/Enter key to make it blink then change the value using INC or DEC key. The value will be stored by pressing Start/Enter key once. To start the process, press Start/ Enter button for more than 3 seconds. 8.
