Great Planes Triton Jr. Charger - GPMM3152 - Manual (Page 8)

All main functions (charge, discharge, cycle) for all battery types are conveniently found in the Main Menu. Starting all
functions is done within this menu as well. Refer to the included flowchart when using the Main Menu. Going left to right, this
menu includes all functions for NiCd batteries, then NiMH, LiPo (and Li-Ion), and lead-acid batteries (Pb). More specific
information about settings for each battery type is included in separate flowcharts for each battery type (which are still part of
the Main Menu).
IMPORTANT: Different parameters exist for each battery types, so it‘s CRUCIAL to use functions in the menu which
are marked for your exact battery type!!
When power is applied, Triton Jr. will automatically default to the “NiCd CHARGE” screen (top-left of Main Menu flowchart). To
change battery types, press BATT TYPE until the proper battery type is found (moving right across the flowchart). Select from
NiMH, LiPo (Li-Ion settings are found in this screen also), and Pb (lead-acid).
ALWAYS connect the charge lead to the charger FIRST, with the red positive (+) lead connected to the red jack, and the black negative
(-) lead to the black jack. Then, connect the battery to the charge lead. See the ERROR INDICATIONS AND SAFETY FEATURES
section at the rear of this manual if errors are indicated regarding the connection of the battery to the charger’s output.
WARNING! NEVER allow the positive and negative output connections to touch while a battery is connected to the
output. Failure to do so could result in permanent damage to the battery and/or the charger and void your warranty.
CARE AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS FOR NIMH BATTERIES
• NEVER allow NiMH batteries to overheat, as this could adversely affect their performance. If this happens, disconnect
the battery from the charger immediately and allow to cool!
• NEVER deep cycle NiMH batteries as permanent damage could result.
• NEVER attempt to use the NiCd, Pb, or lithium functions with NiMH batteries.
• Store NiMH packs with some voltage remaining on the cells (refer to battery supplier).
