3 1.Features Thank you for purchasing TURNIGY 4X100W charger. This is a rapid charge/discharger with built in balancer.please read this entire operating manual completely and attentively before using. Operating software optimized for ease of use and maximum safety The user can adjust charger's settings and parameters. However, the charger also features an AUTO charge function that sets output current during the process of charging or discharging; this can prevent fire or explosion caused by overcharging due to incorrect charger settings, particularly for lithium batteries. If an error is detected at any point in the charger's operating, the unit will stop the charge or discharge process and an alarm will sound. Integrated lithium battery cell balancer The charger features an individual cell balancer built into the case. There's no need for an external balancer. Individual cell balance discharging While discharging lithium batteries that have been plugged into the integrated balancing port, the charger can monitor and balance the voltage of each cell individually. The process will end automatically and an error message will indicate if the voltage of any single cell is abnormal. Compatible with all types of lithium batteries The charger is capable of charging various types of lithium batteries, such as LiPo, LiFe, and Li-Ion. Fast charge and storage charge modes for lithium batteries Fast charge alters the rate of change in charge current to reduce the duration of the charging process, while the storage charge mode brings the voltage of the pack to a suitable level for long-term storage. Maximum safety The charger uses Delta-peak sensitivity to automatically terminate the charging process once the battery's voltage exceeds the specified threshold; this prevents the battery from overcharging. Capacity limit The charged capacity listed on-screen is calculated by multiplying charging current and charge time. If the charging capacity exceeds this user-specified limit, the process will be terminated automatically. -2-

4 1.Features Processing time limit The user can set the maximum charge/discharge time. If the time limit is reached, the process will be terminated automatically. Programmable memory The charger can store up to ten (10) different charge/discharge profiles for your convenience. These stored profiles can be recalled quickly, with no additional program required. Continuous charge/discharge cycles The charger can automatically cycle batteries up to 5 times; this is useful for refreshing and balancing old batteries after long-term storage. Terminal voltage control(tvc) The charger allows user to change the end voltage. Lipo battery meter The user can check battery's total voltage, the highest voltage, the lowest voltage and each cell's voltage. -3-

Reverse the hsequence when disconnecting. Do not connect more than one battery pack to the charge lead at any one time. Do not attempt to charge or discharge the following types of battery. - Battery pack, which consists of different types of cell (including different manufacturers). - Battery, which is already fully charged or just slightly discharged. - Non-rechargeable batteries(explosion hazard). -5-

7 3. Warnings and safety notes - Batteries that require a different charge technique from NiCd, NiMH, Lilo, LiPo, LiFe or Pb. - Faulty or damaged battery. - Battery fitted with an integral charge circuit or a protection circuit. - Batteries installed in a device, or which are electrically linked to other components. - Batteries that are not expressly stated by the manufacturer to be suitable for the currents the charger delivers during the charge process. Please bear in mind of checking the following point before charge operation. - Did you select the appropriate program, which are suitable for the type of battery? - Did you set up adequate current for charging or discharging? - Lithium battery pack can be composed with parallel and series circuits mixed. You have to check the composition of the battery pack carefully before charging. - Are all connections firm and safe, or is there an intermittent contact at any point in the circuit? Charging A specific quantity of electrical energy is fed into the battery during charge process. The charge quantity is calculated by multiplying charge current by charge time. The maximum permissible charge current varies according to the battery type or its performance, and can be found in the information provided by the battery manufacturer. It is only allowed to charge batteries at rates higher than the standard charge current if they are expressly stated to be capable of quick-charge. Connect the battery to charge to output terminal of the charger using suitable charge lead. They are red, positive(+)and black, negative(-).since the charger cannot detect the difference between the internal resistance of the battery pack, cable resistance and connector transfer resistance, the first requirement if the charger to work properly is that the charge lead should be of adequate conductor cross-section. And also high-quality connectors (normally gold-contact type) must be fitted to both ends. - Refer to the information provided by the battery manufacturer regarding charging methods, and verify the recommended charge current and charge time.especially for Lithium batteries, you have to follow the charge instruction provided by the manufacturer strictly. - Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily. You have to pay attention to verify the capacity and the voltage of the Lithium battery pack. It may be composed of parallel and series connection mixed. In parallel link the capacity of the battery pack is multiplied by the number of cells but the voltage remains same. That kind of voltage imbalance causes a fire or explosion during charge process. We recommend you compose the Lithium battery pack in series only. -6-

8 3. Warnings and safety notes Discharging The typical purpose of discharge is to determine the residual capacity of the battery, or to lower the voltage of battery to a defined level. When you discharge the battery you also have to pay attention on the process same as charging. To avoid the battery becoming deepdischarged, set the final discharge voltage correctly. Lithium batteries should not be deepdischarged to lower than the minimum voltage, as this leads to a rapid loss of capacity or a total failure. Generally, you do not need to discharge Lithium battery voluntarily. - Some rechargeable batteries are said to have a memory effect. If they are partly used and recharged before the whole charge is drawn out, they'remember' this and next time will only use that part of their capacity. This is a 'memory effect'. NiCd and NiMH batteries are said to suffer from memory effect. They prefer complete cycles; fully charge then use until empty, do not recharge before storage-allow them to selfdischarge during storage. NiMH batteries have less memory effect than NiCd. - The Lithium battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided if possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery. - The brand-new NiCd battery pack is partially useful with its capacity until it has beeen subjected to 10 or more charge cycles in any case. The cyclic process of charge and discharge will lead to optimise the capacity of battery pack. Those warnings and safety notes are particularly important. Please follow the instructions for a maximum safety; otherwise the charger and the battery can be damaged violently. And also it can cause a fire to injure a human body or to lose the property. -7-

PROGRAM SELECT SYSTEM SET Rest Time CHG>DCHG 10Min SAFETY TIME ON 120Min User set up starting screen. The battery is on the cyclic process of charge and discharge can often become warm after charge or discharge period. The program can insert a time delay to occur after each charge and discharge process to allow the battery adequate time to cool down before being subjected to the next process. The value ranges from 1 to 60 minutes. When you start a charge process, the integral safety timer automatically starts running at the same time. This is programmed to prevent overcharge the battery if it proves to be faulty, or if the termination circuit cannot detect the battery full. The value for the safety timer should be generous enough to allow a full charge of the battery. Safe timer Calculation When charging NiCd or NiMH batteries, divide the capacity by current, then divide the result by 11.9, set this number as the value for safety timer setting. If the charger stopped at this threshold, about 140% of the capacity will have been fed into the battery. For example: Capacity Current Safety Time 2000mAh 2.0A (2000/2.0=1000)/11.9=84 minutes 3300mAh 3.0A (3300/3.0=1100)/11.9=92 minutes 1000mAh 1.2A (1000/1.2=833)/11.9=70 minutes Capacity Cut-Off ON 5000mAH This program sets the maximum charge capacity that will be supplied to the battery during charge.
