Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Dynamite
®
Passport
™
Ultra AC/DC Peak Detection
Charger/Cycler. The Passport line of chargers
are high performance battery management
chargers that can improve the reliability and life
of most battery packs.
The Passport Ultra has built-in balance ports to
monitor and balance 1S to 6S lithium battery
packs during the charge process. The LCD display
allows you to view the charge indicator, charge
time, current, voltage and unbalanced voltage.
It also charges 1- to 14-cell Ni-Cd and Ni-MH
packs.
The discharge and cycling features allow
unsurpassed battery conditioning and provides
battery performance details to allow you to
determine the quality of your batteries and
improve their performance.
Be sure to read the entire manual to become
familiar with the features of the charger. Failure
to understand the features of the charger can
cause serious damage to the charger, battery
or cause serious injury and damage to personal
properly.
Never leave the charger unattended
during use.

* Deltavoltage:Whenchargingabattery,the
voltage will continue to increase until the
battery reaches its peak voltage. After it
reaches this point, the voltage will begin to
drop. This voltage drop is referred to as the
“Delta Voltage.” The sensitivity of this voltage
drop can be adjusted for precise charging of
your battery pack.
