The left side of the first line shows the type of battery you

choose. The value on the left of the second line of the

charger is the current user set up. After setting the current

and voltage, press the

Start/Enter key for more than 3

seconds to start the process (charge current: 0.1-10.0A,

voltage: 3.7-22.2V).

This displays the number of cells you set up and the

processor detects. “R” shows the number of cells detected

by the charger and “S” is the number of cells set by you at

the previous screen. If both numbers are identical, you can

start charging by pressing the

Start/Enter button. If not,

press the

Batt Type/Stop button to go back to the previous

screen. Carefully check the number of cells of the battery

pack before proceeding.

This screen shows the real-time status during the charge

process. Press the

Batt Type/Stop key once to stop the

charge process.

This function is for balancing the voltage of Lithium-polymer battery cells while charging.

In the balance mode, the battery needs to have a balance lead to connect to the individual

balance port of the charger. You also need to connect the battery's power lead to the output

of the charger. Charging in this mode is different from the normal modes, because the

built-in processor monitors voltage of individual cells and controls the input current fed into

each cell to ensure each cell has equal voltage.
