Warnings and Safety Notes
•
A battery that is non-rechargeable (these pose an explosion hazard)
•
A faulty or damaged battery
•
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 THE FOLLOWING POINTS BEFORE YOU COMMENCE CHARGING:
•
Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery you are charging?
•
Did you set up the adequate current for charging or discharging?
•
Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in
series, i.e. a 2-cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in series).
•
Have you checked that all connections are firm and secure?
•
Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.
