2. Connect the provided US standard power cable to the AC input interface of the charger.
3. Ensure the connection is firm and secure.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to charge your 16S 60V Lithium Battery Pack:

1. Connect to Battery First: Before connecting the charger to AC power, ensure the DC output terminal of the charger is securely connected to the battery's charging socket.
2. Connect to AC Power: After the DC terminal is connected to the battery, plug the AC power cord into a standard 100-120Vac, 50-60Hz wall outlet.
3. Monitor Charging: Observe the LED indicators and the OLED display for charging status.
4. Disconnect After Charging: Once charging is complete (LED 2 turns green), first unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet, and then unplug the DC terminal from the battery.
5. Storage: When not in use or after charging, always unplug both the DC terminal from the battery and the AC terminal from the wall outlet.

LED Indicator Guide

• LED 1 (Red): Indicates that the charger is powered on.
• LED 2 (Red): Indicates that the battery is currently being charged.
• LED 2 (Flashing Red): Indicates that the battery is nearing a full charge.
• LED 2 (Green): Indicates that the battery has been fully charged.

OLED Display Information

The OLED display provides real-time data during the charging process:

• Voltage (V): Displays the current charging voltage.
• Current (A): Displays the current charging amperage.
• Temperature (°C): Displays the internal temperature of the charger.
• Power (W): Displays the current charging power in watts.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the charger's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Ventilation: Ensure the cooling fan and ventilation slots are free from dust and debris to maintain optimal heat dissipation.
• Storage: Store the charger in a cool, dry place when not in use, away from extreme temperatures and humidity.
