Introduction:
Thank you for choosing the Wattage Charge-It-All Sport AC/DC Peak-Detection charger. This charger is designed to charge 1 (1.2V) to 8 (9.6V)
Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride cells ranging from 250mAH and higher and 1 (3.7V) to 3 (11.1V) Lithium Polymer cells ranging from
100mAH and higher. Please read through this operations sheet completely before using your charger for the first time. If charging LiPO cells,
please read and understand the special warnings specifically for LiPO cells.
Please Read and Understand the Following Warnings:
●
This charger is designed to charge 1-8 NiCD and NiMH battery cells and 1-3 LiPO cells ONLY. Do not attempt to charge any other type of battery,
such as gel cell, lead-acid or Alkaline batteries.
●
NEVER connect the AC power and the DC power input cords at the same time and never allow the 12V DC alligator clips to touch or short out.
●
When the charger is connected to an automotive battery (12V DC power source), do not start the automobile’s engine. The engine can be running
during the charging process, but starting or turning off the engine during the charging process can damage the charger and/or your battery pack.
●
Do NOT allow children to use the charger without adult supervision.
●
NEVER leave the charger connected to a power source when not in use.
●
NEVER leave the charger unattended when the charger is in use.
●
NEVER place the charger on a carpeted surface during use.
●
ALWAYS disconnect the battery pack from the charger if the battery pack becomes unusually warm or hot.
●
AVOID using the charger in direct sunlight.
●
ALWAYS allow the battery pack to cool before recharging it.
When charging LiPO battery packs, please read and understand the special warnings listed below. Also make sure to read any and all
warnings included in the packaging with your battery. If used improperly, LiPO batteries can be very dangerous, so please follow these
warnings and suggestions at all times.
●
DO NOT use the product if you do not understand the warnings and proper use of the product.
●
ALWAYS let the battery cool and "rest" between uses and charging.
●
We recommend the use of a fire-safe container when charging or storing.
●
DO NOT charge inside your car or inside your house.
●
Inspect the battery before each use for swelling or other malformation. If the cell has ballooned, it MUST be discarded.
●
Set the charger to 1C (charge at 1/2C or less for the first 5 cycles).
●
Check polarity and then connect battery to charger.
●
When handling the battery, remember not to poke, bend or damage the cell. The cell outer casing is soft and can be damaged.
●
Remember, the cells must never exceed 160 degrees Fahrenheit for any reason.
●
LiPO cells may explode or catch fire. Serious injury can result from misuse. Serious injury, loss of property, fire and death can result from misuse
of this product.
●
All instructions, warnings and cautions must be followed at all times. Failure to do so can lead to serious injury or fire.
●
DO NOT overcharge. Maximum voltage for each pack must be followed.
●
DO NOT leave in direct sunlight or in a hot car or storage area.
●
DO NOT get wet or expose to moisture.
●
DO NOT short-circuit the battery.
●
DO NOT leave the battery connected when not in use.
●
DO NOT operate or charge unattended.

After selecting the proper charge rate and double-checking that the proper charge mode is selected, press the START/STOP button to begin the
charge process. During the charge process the red LED will be steady. If you need to stop the charge process before charging is complete, press
the START/STOP button again or disconnect your battery from the charger.
IMPORTANT If there is a battery error (i.e., reversed polarity or internal short), the charge rate LEDs will
blink together shortly after you press the START/STOP button. If this occurs, remove the battery from the
charger and check all connections and battery integrity before attempting to charge the battery again.
●
At the end of the charging process, the charger will detect when the battery reaches its peak and will stop
fast charging. At this point, the charge rate LED will begin to blink, indicating that the charger is now in
trickle mode and that the battery is ready for use.
Charging Tips:
●
Always unplug the charger when you are finished charging.
●
Let the charger cool between uses, especially on hot or humid days.
●
New batteries should be charged at the lowest recommended charge rate for the first 3 charging cycles (5 cycles for LiPO cells). This will ensure
your batteries’ long life and optimal capacity.
●
Always use your charger on a hard surface. Never use it while setting on carpeted surfaces. Carpeted surfaces will block the cooling vents on the
bottom of the charger, which can cause the charger to overheat during use.
●
Most LiPO cells can be charged at 1C, but charging at .5C will produce a better charge and prolong the life of the battery. It will also lessen the
chance of damaging the battery during the charging process.
