Great Planes Triton Jr. Charger - GPMM3152 - Manual (Page 13)

6. To START CYCLING, press and hold START for 2 seconds.
“BATTERY CHECK, PLEASE WAIT…” will show briefly, and
Triton Jr. will start cycling if the battery is in suitable condition,
at which time you’ll see a screen as shown to the right .
7. When all cycling is finished, “END” will show on-screen. Press
BATT TYPE to see the DATA VIEW screens for final cycling
information (go to page 20). Note that Triton Jr. will only show
data for the last cycle (not all cycles). If set to cycle 4 times, only
data for cycle 4 will be viewable (not for cycles 1, 2, or 3).
WARNING!! NEVER ATTEMPT TO CARE FOR LITHIUM-POLYMER (LiPo) OR LITHIUM-ION (Li-Ion) CELLS IN THE SAME
WAY AS OTHER BATTERY TYPES! LiPo and Li-Ion cells are much more sensitive and volatile than NiCd, NiMH or lead-acid
batteries. Misuse and overcharge can quickly result in LiPo/Ion cells getting hot and/or swelling, which could lead to VIOLENT
EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE and serious personal injury and property damage. Do not mistake LiPo cells for other lithium-
based cell types (such as lithium-metal), as different lithium hybrids have different care and handling characteristics as well.
All “lithium” based batteries types are NOT exactly the same.
• NEVER leave lithium batteries unattended during charge.
• NEVER place lithium batteries on combustible surfaces during charge.
• NEVER attempt to use the NiCd, NiMH, or Pb functions with lithium batteries.
• NEVER continue to charge or use LiPo/Ion cells if they start to swell, become overly warm to the touch, or if they do not charge
within the specified charging time. Failure to follow this guideline could cause the battery to become hot, and explode or ignite!!
• NEVER discharge Li-Ion cells lower than 2.5V per cell.
• LiPo/Ion cells have an 8% self discharge rate, meaning they can hold charge very well. Thus, there is no need to trickle
charge LiPo/Ion cells. No cycling of lithium batteries is needed.
• LiPo/Ion cells should be charged about once per year at a minimum to prevent over-discharge.
• LiPo/Ion batteries should be stored with about 30%-50% of capacity.
• If LiPo/Ion cells leak fluid, rinse the affected area well with water and seek immediate medical care.
