If you plan to discharge your battery to reach safe storage levels we strongly
recommend that you use Storage Mode. In very few instances should discharg-
ing become necessary with LiPo batteries. One such instance may include
preparing a battery for disposal, in which case the battery should not be com-
pletely discharged. Be sure to follow the discharging instructions provided by
the battery manufacturer. Over-discharging a battery can severly damage
the battery and may cause a fi re or explosion.
DISCHARGING LITHIUM CHEMISTRY BATTERIES CAN CAUSE PER-
MANENT DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY AND IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED
FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE DISPOSAL OF THE BATTERY. IF YOU
CHOOSE TO DISCHARGE YOUR LITHIUM BATTERIES, MAKE SURE TO
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE MINIMUM VOLTAGE SETTING. IF YOU
WANT TO STORE YOUR BATTERY FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME YOU
SHOULD UTILIZE THE STORAGE MODE CHARGE PROGRAM AS THIS IS
THE SAFEST METHOD OF STORING YOUR LITHIUM CHEMISTRY
BATTERIES.
IN DISCHARGE MODE, LITHIUM BATTERIES CAN BE DISCHARGED
WITH OR WITHOUT THE USE OF A BALANCE ADAPTOR. THE USE OF A
BALANCE ADAPTOR IS RECOMMENDED FOR DISCHARGING ANY
BATTERY THAT HAS A BALANCE LEAD.
DURING CHARGING/DISCHARGING, THE BATTERY SHOULD BE PLACED
INSIDE A FIRE PROOF/RETARDANT BAG AND ON A FIRE PROOF SUR-
FACE, AWAY FROM OTHER COMBUSTIBLE OBJECTS.
If you are using a balance adapter, you may press the ✚
button to view the voltage of each individual cell.
Once the battery is fully charged the screen will read “
FULL
” and the charger
will emit a chiming sound. Press the ■ button to stop charging. You may press
the ■ button at any time during the charging process to stop charging.
