FURTHER SPECIFICATIONS FOR LITHIUM BATIERIES
19) In order to charge Lithium Polymer and Lithium Ion batteries, a BMS (Battery Management System)
must always be used, includin
regulations in force.
20) With the possibility of the BMS
phases, it rules out for any reason whatsoever, that the charger is
a re or an explosion due to an error in the BMS software.
21) The charger's user congurable options
charge curve, is entrusted to the control and supervision of the end user and TECNIK is not liable for
any consequences resulting from the selection of the incorrect level of voltage. If in doubt, the user
should ask a qualied professional for clarication.
22) The charger's tolerance thresholds, as far as levels of over-voltage and overcharging are
concerned, are used only for the safeguarding of the charger's components and have no safety
functions for the battery itself, the safety of which depends solely on the BMS, even when the charger is
connected to the battery, whether the latter is being charged or not.
23) Should the user want to use the charger on a specic on-board system or non-standard
application, it is the user's responsibility to inform TECNIK. In this case, the user must provide TECNIK
with all necessary designs, diagrams and technical documents. TECNIK cannot be held responsible
for any damage resulting from the use of the charger after opening it and/or modifying il and/or
inserting it into other systems.
24) Under no circumstances can TECNIK be held responsible for the malfunctioning, explosion or
damage by re of the batteries , as the safety of the battery is the task of the BMS and not of the charger.
CHECKING CABLES, GRID, GROUNDING
25) Do not transport the battery charger by pulling on the cables as they could be damaged. Use the
handles, if provided.
26) Before using the charger, check that the sleeving on the input and output cables are in good
condition. Should one of the cables be damaged, have it replaced by a TECNIK qualied technician.
27) Check that the input voltage on the data plate of the charger is compatible with the available AC
source.
28) Check the compatibility of the Ac input plug supplied with the charger: the use of adaptors is not
recommended (illegal in Canada and U.S.A.).
29) The battery charger must be plugged into a socket tted with an ground wire. Should the socket not
be equipped with an ground connection, do not use the device before having a suitable socket
installed by a qualied electrician.
30) The power socket to which the charger is to be connected must be protected by an electrical device
by law (fuse and/or automatic cut-out), capable of absorbing an electrical current 10% higher than the
current consumption stated on the charger's data plate.
31) Do not open the charger as there are no parts which can be serviced and/or replaced by the user.
Only specialised personnel, authorised by TECNIK may carry out servicing which involves opening the
actual device. Electrical/electronic components inside may cause electric shocks even if the device is
not plugged in.
