Setup Instructions
- Unpack the Charger: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Connect Power:
- Ensure the charger's power switch is in the OFF position.
- Connect the provided AC power cord to the AC input port on the back of the charger.
- Plug the other end of the power cord into a suitable AC outlet (110V or 220V, depending on your region).
- Power On: Flip the power switch to the ON position. The LCD display should illuminate, indicating the charger is ready.
Operating Instructions
Connecting Batteries for Charging
- Connect Main Power Lead: Connect the main power lead of your LiPo/LiHV battery to the XT90 battery port on one of the charging channels (Channel 1 or Channel 2).
- Connect Balance Lead: Connect the balance lead of your battery to the corresponding balance socket using the provided XH adaptor board if necessary. Ensure the balance lead is inserted correctly to prevent damage.
- Repeat for Second Channel (Optional): If charging two batteries simultaneously, repeat steps 1 and 2 for the second channel.

Selecting Charging Mode and Current
- Select Channel: Use the "Current Button" or "Mode Button" to navigate and select the desired charging channel (1 or 2) if not already selected.
- Choose Mode: Press the "Working Mode Setting Button" to cycle through available modes: Charge Mode and Storage Mode.
- Charge Mode: Charges the battery to its full voltage (e.g., 4.2V per cell for LiPo, 4.35V per cell for LiHV).
- Storage Mode: Charges or discharges the battery to a safe storage voltage (typically 3.80V per cell for LiPo/LiHV) to extend battery lifespan.
- Set Charge Current: Use the "Current Button" to adjust the charge current. Available options are 5A, 10A, 15A, 20A, and 25A. Select a current appropriate for your battery's capacity (e.g., 1C rate).
Starting and Stopping Charging
- Start Charging: Once the mode and current are set, press the "Start/Stop Button" to begin the charging process. The LCD will display real-time charging data.
- Monitor Progress: The display will show voltage, current, capacity charged, and individual cell voltages (switching every 5 seconds).
- Stop Charging: To stop charging at any time, press the "Start/Stop Button" again. The charger will cease operation.
- Completion: The charger will automatically stop when the battery reaches its full charge or storage voltage. Disconnect the battery once charging is complete.
Using the Independent 2/3S Radio Battery Port
The charger includes a dedicated port for 2S or 3S radio batteries. Only one 2S or 3S radio battery can be charged at a time using this port.
- Connect your 2S or 3S radio battery to the designated "Radio Battery Connection Port".
- The charger will automatically detect the battery type and begin charging. Monitor the process on the main display or a dedicated indicator if available.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Keep the charger clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the charger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture when not in use.
- Ventilation: Ensure the cooling fans are not obstructed during operation to prevent overheating.
- Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect all cables and connectors for signs of wear or damage. Replace any damaged components immediately.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
