Operating Instructions

1. Select Charging Current: For each battery you intend to charge, adjust the corresponding toggle switch to either 0.2A or 0.6A.

   • 0.6A: Suitable for larger capacity batteries or when a faster charge is desired. Ensure your battery can handle this current.
2. Connect Batteries: Carefully plug your 3.7V LiPo 1S or LiHv batteries into the charging ports. Ensure correct polarity.
3. Monitor Charging Status: The LED indicator for each channel will behave as follows:
   • Blinking LED: Indicates that the battery is currently charging.
   • Solid LED: Indicates that the battery is fully charged and the charging process has automatically stopped.
4. Disconnect Batteries: Once the LED turns solid, the battery is fully charged. Disconnect the battery from the charging port.
5. Disconnect Power: When all charging is complete, disconnect the USB charger board from its power source.
