Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your OVONIC Mate1 charger:

• Keep the charger clean and free from dust and debris.
• Store the charger in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Regularly inspect cables and connectors for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the charger to strong impacts.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your OVONIC Mate1 charger, consider the following common solutions:

• Charger not powering on: Ensure the AC input cable is securely connected to both the charger and a working power outlet.
• Battery not charging: Verify that the battery is correctly connected to both the main discharge port and the balance port (if balance charging). Check that the correct battery type and cell count are selected in the charger settings.
• Error message on display: Refer to the user manual for specific error codes and their meanings. Often, this indicates an incorrect setting or a battery issue.
• Slow charging: Ensure the charging current (Amps) is set appropriately for your battery's capacity. Higher capacity batteries require higher charging currents for faster charging, within safe limits.
