Input Power Connection
NOTE: NEVER connect both AC and DC input
power types to the charger simultaneously or
damage to the charger may occur.
AC Voltage
Connect the 100–240 AC input power cord to
the appropriate power receptacle.
NOTICE: Always consult 12V battery
collateral materials or Horizon Hobby before
using with sources other than standard AC wall
outlet.
DC Voltage
Connect the red alligator clip to the positive (+)
terminal of an 11–18-volt DC power supply or
battery. Connect the black alligator clip to the
negative (-) terminal.
CAUTION: Never connect the AC and
DC input cords to an active power source at
the same time. This will void the warranty, cause
product damage and possibly injure the user.
Charge Output Battery Connection
Choose the appropriate charge cord to match
your battery pack and connect the positive (red)
lead to the positive (+) output terminal. Connect
the negative (black) lead to the negative (-)
output terminal.
WARNING: Always make sure that you
follow proper polarities at all times or electrical
shock will occur.
Charge Mode
A. Set the current rate before charging.
Adjustable charge rates from 0.1–8A.
(Current rates can be adjusted by pressing
the START button during charging.)
B. See the table below to select the charge
rate for Ni-Cd and Ni-MH battery packs.
Werecommendthatyoucharge1800mAh
receiver packs at 1.8A(1C).
Battery Capacity Charge Rate Charge Time
600mAh 0.6A 60–80 Min.
1300mAh 1A 78–94 Min.
1800mAh 2A 54–65 Min.
3300mAh 5A 40–48 Min.
NOTICE: Also consider the battery pack’s
series cell count (i.e. 2S, 3S, 4S, etc…) as the
voltage of the pack being charged will affect the
available charge current in order to not exceed
the50Wattmaximumoutputlimitofcharger(1-
5A for 2S pack; 1-4A for 3-4S pack; 1-2A for 5-6S
pack). Using a charge rate that is not compatible
with the above mentioned battery capacities may
result in damage or malfunction of the charger
or batteries.
C. It is normal for the current rate to drop to
0 then resume during Ni-MH and Ni-Cd
charging.
D. A completely discharged Li-Po or Li-Fe
battery pack can be fully recharged in
approximately 2–3 hours with charge rate at
1C.
E. The built-in cooling fan will automatically
engage during charge and discharge functions.
F. Press the START button to return to the
previous menu after charging.
G. Press and hold the START button for 3
seconds to restart the charging process. This
same process is used to start the discharge
and cycling modes.
Discharge Mode
A. The discharge rate can be adjusted from
0.1–5A. Reset the current rate by pressing
the START button during discharge.
B. WhendischargingNi-MHandNi-Cd
batteries, the minimum discharge voltage
should not be set lower than .8 volts/cell
(e.g. the cutoff voltage for a 6-cell pack is
4.8V(.8*6)).
Discharge/Charge Cycle Mode
A. Set three parameters: discharge current,
discharge voltage and charge current.
B. Press and hold the START button for 3
seconds to start.
NOTE: This mode is only suitable for Ni-Cd or
Ni-MH battery, and could be set to 10 cycles
(max).
