In order to ensure that you obtain the maximum benefit from its operation, please read these instructions carefully. 1 SpEciFicAtions Input Voltage 11~15V DC Battery Type & Cells 1~5 Lithium-Ion or Lithium-Polymer cells (3.6V or 3.7V respectively) 1~6 LiFePO4 cells (3.3V) 1~14 Nickel-Cadmium cells 1~14 Nickel-Metal Hydride cells 1 - 6 Lead-Acid cells (2V per cell) Battery Capacity 100mAh ~ 6000mAh adjustable ONLY for Lithium-Ion, Lithium-Polymer and LiFePO4 Charge Rate 0.1A ~ 6A Adjustable in 100mA steps (2C charge rate available for Li-Po Batteies) Trickle Charge Rate 0 ~ 200mA Balancing Max. Current 280mA (Tolerance 5mV during charge) Charge Termination “Zero Delta V” peak detection for NiCd/NiMH “Constant current / constant voltage” for Li-Ion/Po LiFe and Pb Delta Peak Sensitivity 5mV ~ 25mV for NiCd & 3mV ~ 25mV for NiMH (per cell) SpECIAL FEATUrES • 2 -line, 16 character, blue backlit, LCD makes the screen extremely clear and legible. • Built-in intelligent balancing circuit is designed to individually balance each cell on the connected lithium battery pack within the tolerance of 5mV during charge or discharge. • Balancing plug adaptor boards are supplied to suit Polyquest, FlightPower and Thunder Power batteries. Optional adaptors for JST XH are available. • Voltage monitoring feature shows each actual cell voltage on the screen during balancing. • Various warning messages for incorrect input voltage, wrong connections, unsuitable battery condition and reverse polarity on output. • Packaged in a rugged aluminium case. 2 SAFEty prEcAutions • DO NOT attempt to charge incompatible types of rechargeable batteries. This charger is designed to only charge and discharge Nickel-Cadmium, Nickel-Metal Hydride, Lithium-Ion, Lithium-Polymer, LiFePO4 and Lead- Acid batteries. • Make sure you place the charger on a firm level surface for charging. • DO NOT attempt to charge batteries at excessive fast charge currents. Check with your battery manufacturer for the maximum charge rate applicable to your battery. • DO NOT use automotive type battery chargers to power the charger. • DO NOT leave the charger unattended while charging. Disconnect the battery and remove input power from charger immediately if the charger becomes hot. Allow the charger or battery to cool down before reconnecting. • DO NOT allow water, moisture or foreign objects into the charger. • DO NOT place the battery or charger on or near a flammable object while in use. Keep away from carpets, cluttered workbenches, etc. • DO NOT cover the air intake holes on the charger as this could cause the charger to overheat. • Connect the input leads to the 12V power source first, then connect the battery. • DO NOT disassemble the charger. • This unit is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use it safely. • Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the Typhoon L50B Pro. • DO NOT attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries. • The battery must be placed in a well ventilated area (for charging lead- acid batteries) • After charging, disconnect the battery charger from the power supply first, then disconnect the battery. Lithium Ion/polymEr BAttEry SAFEty WArnings Ensure that the charger and battery are placed on a non-flammable surface whilst charging and ideally charge outdoors wherever possible. NEVER charge a Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe battery inside a vehicle whatever the circumstances. ALWAYS ensure that the charger is correctly set for the battery being charged, checking both voltage and capacity. Be particularly careful if using a series/parallel battery pack, or if using packs of different specifications with the same charger. NEVER charge at a rate higher than that recommended by the cell manufacturer, this can be very dangerous. DO NOT leave Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe batteries unattended whilst they are charging. Monitoring the batteries during charging is very important. ALWAYS monitor the temperature of the battery being charged every few minutes. If the battery becomes hot to the touch, disconnect it from the charger immediately and allow to cool. DO NOT recommence charging until the battery and charger have been checked for compatibility and the charger settings have been confirmed as being correct. In the unlikely event of the Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe battery catching fire DO NOT use water to attempt to put the fire out, instead use sand or a fire extinguisher designed for electrical fires. When used correctly, Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe battery packs are as safe as any other type of rechargeable battery pack.However they do require different charge regimes to the longer established Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride technologies and have the potential of catching fire if severely mistreated. If Lithium Polymer battery packs are short-circuited or severely over-charged elemental Lithium may be deposited internally...
