Voltcraft 100 - 240 VCharger ForLiPolymer, LiFeRechargeable batteries SK-100052-02 User Manual

•  Connect the banana plugs of the charging cable (9) to the two sockets (7) of the charger. 

Always ensure correct polarity (red = plus/+, black = minus/-).

•  Then connect the rechargeable battery to be charged (see figure 3, item 12) to the charging 

cable.

 

Always connect the charging cable to the charger first. Only then connect the 

rechargeable battery to the charging cable! At reverse order, the two balance plugs 

may get into contact with each other and short-circuit the rechargeable battery; 

there is a danger of explosion!

•  Check if the rechargeable battery type slider (8) is set correctly according to the rechargeab-

le battery to be charged or push the slider into the correct position.

 

Since LiFe rechargeable batteries have a lower cell voltage than LiPo rechargeable 

batteries, it is mandatory to set the rechargeable battery type slider correctly and 

not to adjust it during charging. Only this will charge the different rechargeable 

battery types correctly without them taking damage.

•  Use the charging current slider (4) to set the required charging current (1 A, 2 A, 4 A or 5 A).

 

Always observe the rechargeable battery manufacturer‘s information regarding the 

max. charging current. 

 

The max. charging and discharging currents are indicated with the capacity value 

„C“. If there is no manufacturer information charge LiPo batteries with a max. 

charging current of 1C. This means that the charging current must not exceed the 

capacity value imprinted on the battery (e.g. indicated battery capacity 1000 mAh, 

max. charging current 1000 mA = 1 A).

 

If the maximum permissible charging current for the rechargeable battery is 

exceeded, there is a danger of destroying the rechargeable battery. There also is a 

danger of fire and explosion! 

 

For more notes on the max. charging current, see the data sheets or the recharge-

able battery label.
