- After selecting the battery type, the screen will display options for charging mode (e.g., Balance Charge, Fast Charge, Storage, Discharge). Use "Inc." and "Dec." to select the desired mode.
- Press "Start/Enter" to enter parameter adjustment.
- Adjust the charging current (Amps) and cell count (Volts) using "Inc." and "Dec." buttons. Refer to your battery's specifications for recommended charging rates.
- Press "Start/Enter" to confirm each parameter.
- Start Charging:
- Once all parameters are set, long-press the "Start/Enter" button. The charger will perform a battery check.
- Confirm the battery information displayed on the screen. If correct, press "Start/Enter" again to begin charging.
- Monitor Progress:
- The LCD will display real-time charging status, including current, voltage, and elapsed time.
- Press "Status" (Inc. or Dec.) to cycle through detailed battery information during charging.
- End Charging:

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Charger does not power on. | No power supply; faulty adapter/cable. | Check power connections. Ensure adapter is plugged in and functional. Try a different outlet. |
| "Connection Break" error. | Battery not connected properly; faulty cable. | Ensure main and balance leads are securely connected. Inspect cables for damage. |
| "Input Voltage Error". | Input voltage is too high or too low. | Verify the power adapter output voltage is within the specified range (DC 10.0-20.0V). |
| Battery not charging/discharging. | Incorrect battery type/parameters selected; battery is fully charged/discharged. | Double-check battery type, cell count, and charging current settings. Ensure the battery is not already at its target state. |
| Charger gets excessively hot. | Poor ventilation; overcurrent charging. | Ensure adequate airflow around the charger. Reduce charging current if it exceeds battery specifications. Stop charging if overheating persists. |
