chargIng the Battery

Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Inspect the battery
to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.
1. Connect the AC power cord to the power slot on the charger, then connect the other

end of the power cord to an AC power source.

2. The three LEDs will turn green when the charger is connected to the AC power source.
3. Connect the balance connector of the battery to the proper charge port on the charger

(the 3S charge port has 4 pins and the 2S charge port has 3 pins).

4. The three LEDs will turn red, indicating the battery is charging.
5. When the charging of one cell is complete, the corresponding LED turns green.

CauTIOn: Always disconnect a Li-Po battery from the charger to avoid

over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest
approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential
fire when batteries are charged.

CauTIOn: Never exceed the recommended charge rate of the battery pack.

CauTIOn: If at any time batteries become damaged, hot, or begin to balloon or

swell, discontinue charging (or discharging) immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect
the charger. DO NOT continue to handle, attempt to use or ship the batteries. Failure
to follow these procedures can cause damage to batteries, personal property or
cause serious injury.
