This option provides vital statistics that let you manage your battery pack’s performance
and life. Keeping record of this information will let you track the peak charge voltage “V”,
charge time “sec”, capacity “mAh”
(milliamp hours) , and energy “J” (joules) of the battery.

NOVAK RACING
The Millennium Pro has Novak’s Pit Wizard Software built-in, and can be used with the
included MP D•LINK2 harness to connect to and customize the throttle profiles in the
Cyclone C2 and TC2
(Cyclone, CycloneTC, & Atom with the “MP Classic D•LINK” harness/See attached coupon) .
Refer to instruction sheet 2 for Pit Wizard software operation.

We have already programmed our recommendations for the five most common charging set-
ups into the Millennium Pro’s five charge profile locations. The following is our complete list of
recommendations for charging different packs, cell sizes, and types of batteries.
BATTERY TYPE CELL SIZE # CELLS CURRENT DELTA-PEAK PULSE CHARGE MODE
Ni-Cd sub-C & D 4-8 4.5A 14mV/cell – Ni-Cd Linear
Ni-Cd sub-C & D 4-8 4.5A 14mV/cell 12ms Ni-Cd Rev.Pulse
Ni-Cd AA & smaller 4-8 1.5A 8mV/cell – Ni-Cd Linear
Ni-MH sub-C & D 4-8 4.0A – – Ni-MH2
Ni-MH AA & smaller 4-8 1.0A – – Ni-MH2
Note: To reset all user-adjustable parameters in the Millennium Pro to
factory defaults, press & hold the BACK button during start-up.
RECOMMENDED CHARGE SETTINGS
Ni-Cd CELLS
If you prefer to re-peak your Ni-Cd cells after charging, wait a short amount of time after the
initial charge is complete to allow the individual cells to equalize, then re-start the charger to
bring all the cells up together until they peak.
Ni-MH CELLS
We DO NOT recommend re-peaking Ni-MH cells. Use these immediately after initial charge.
RE-PEAKING BATTERIES
TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE
The following messages may appear on the Millennium Pro’s display. Check the various
causes and solutions to solve the problem. If you are unable to solve the problem, check
our website or call our Customer Service Department.
• Battery voltage too low to begin charge process.
• One or more cells shorted.
• Number of cells set too high.
• Output leads/alligator clips are shorted.
• Charging attempted with no battery connected or dis-
connected while charging.
• Charging attempted with no power source connected.
• Battery pack has open cell or bad connection––Check pack.
• Battery voltage too close to power source voltage––In-
crease input power source voltage.
• Output leads un-shorted during conditioning.
• Power source disconnected while charging.
• Output leads un-shorted during conditioning, then re-
shorted––Check output leads for short.
• Output leads shorted during charging––Check for short.
• Number of cells set too high.
• After conditioning, battery voltage still too low to begin
charge process––try new battery.
• Battery pack connected backwards.
• Output leads shorted and no battery pack attached.
• Internal temperature above 203ºF––Check intake grill for
blockage. Will go to Start screen when cool.
• No alarm tone is heard––Alarm tone set to OFF (X).
• Factory programmed software calibration data has been
damaged––Contact Novak Customer Service.
• MP D•LINK2 harness not connected to ESC––Check harness
and connection. Make sure ESC DataLink socket is clean.
