• Batteries for RC models are dangerous and must be used with care. Never leave a battery unattended.
• Do not open the charger, for any reason.
• Always keep the charger in a safe and dry area, and keep it away for direct sun light and vibrations.
• The charger has some vents on it's case. Never mask them.
• The charger and the battery need to be placed on a non flamable area, heat resistant and not conductive. Keep flammable
objects away from the charger.
• When using the external battery input cables, always check that the connectors can not touch each other to avoid any short
circuit. Keep the connector away from any conductive area and from the batteries to be charged or the charger itself.
• In case of malfunction or abnormal event, disconnect immediatly the charger from it's power supply / source and the
batteries. Only use a 11V – 15V DC power supply or car battery (12V) with sufficient capacity.
• Never plug several batteries at the same time on the charger.
• Some batteries feature cells with series assembly, or parallel assembly. Please make sure to choose the right cells number in
series when programming the charger.
• The charger output power is limited to 50W. This means, that a 18V battery can't be charged at 5A, but will be charged at 2.7A
(18V x 2.7A= Approx. 50W).
• Despite the fact that the charger can detect the number of cells to charge, always check the value detected by the charger,
and change it if necessary.
• If you have any doubt about the battery type / charge parameters, please consult your local hobby store or the manufacturer /
distributor.
• Despite the fact that the charger detects automatically the cells numbers and proposes automatic charge / discharge
processes, it is the customers responsibility to check the values proposed and to modify them if necessary.
• Once a charge / dscharge / balancing / storing / cycling process is finished, never leave the battery connected to the charger.
• If the charger detects anything wrong, it will inform you with an error message in most cases. Please check the error chart in
the end of this manual.
• If a Lithium battery goes faulty for any reason, please disconnect it from the charger if it is possible, and contact immediately
your battery manufacturer / distributor if you do not know how to neutralize it. NEVER throw a battery in a waste bin or in
standard battery recycling locations. Lithium batteries are dangerous as long as they are not neutralised
• Never dismantle a battery pack, for any reason.
• Never connect different batteries other than ones supported by the charger, or answering to the following criterias :
‐ A battery composed from differnt kind of cells or different capacity cells.
‐ A fully charged or hot battery.
‐ A non rechargeable battery.
‐ A defective or damaged battery.
‐ A battery with protection / temperature integrated circuit.
‐ A battery fixed in a model / device ( always remove the battery from the model / device for connecting it to the charger).
‐ Any kind of battery designed to be charged with different voltages / currents than the ones offered by the charger.
• Before starting any process, please make sure you checked the following points:
‐ Did you select the matching program for the battery you are going to connect to the charger ?
‐ Did you setup an appropriate charge / discharge current ?
‐ Did you check the battery voltage ?
‐ Did you check that all connections are secured and do not present any potential danger before, during and after the charger
usage ?
• Always check the charger manual and the manufacturer recommandations.
• PROMODEL S.A.S. will decline any liability or responsability following the usage of the charger, as it is not possible to check the
charger usage or the batteries used with it once the product sold to a customer.
