TYPHOON L50B Pro opErAting instructions Please keep for future reference Thank you for purchasing this Typhoon L50B Pro charger. We are sure you will be pleased with its performance and features. In order to ensure that you obtain the maximum benefit from its operation, please read these instructions carefully.
SpEciFicAtions Input Voltage 11~15V DC Battery Type & Cells 1~5 Lithium-Ion or Lithium-Polymer cells (3.6V or 3.7V respectively) 1~6 LiFePO4 cells (3.3V) 1~14 Nickel-Cadmium cells 1~14 Nickel-Metal Hydride cells 1 - 6 Lead-Acid cells (2V per cell) Battery Capacity 100mAh ~ 6000mAh adjustable ONLY for Lithium-Ion, Lithium-Polymer and LiFePO4 Charge Rate 0.
SAFEty prEcAutions • DO NOT attempt to charge incompatible types of rechargeable batteries. This charger is designed to only charge and discharge Nickel-Cadmium, Nickel-Metal Hydride, Lithium-Ion, Lithium-Polymer, LiFePO4 and LeadAcid batteries. • Make sure you place the charger on a firm level surface for charging. • DO NOT attempt to charge batteries at excessive fast charge currents. Check with your battery manufacturer for the maximum charge rate applicable to your battery.
Lithium Ion/polymEr BAttEry SAFEty WArnings Ensure that the charger and battery are placed on a non-flammable surface whilst charging and ideally charge outdoors wherever possible. NEVER charge a Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe battery inside a vehicle whatever the circumstances. ALWAYS ensure that the charger is correctly set for the battery being charged, checking both voltage and capacity.
Lithium Ion/polymEr/FE BAttEriEs Lithium battery packs must NEVER be discharged below 3 volts per cell as this will result in damage to the cells. If the voltage is allowed to drop below 3 volts per cell the battery voltage may seem to recover following a charge, but the battery may not then give its full nominal capacity and a reduction in performance is likely – allowing the voltage to drop below 3 volts per cell will invalidate all warranty claims.
Input powEr 12V DC Connect the charger’s red alligator clip to the positive (+) terminal on the power source and the black alligator clip to the negative (-) terminal. The charger will display “Input voltage” error message if the input is below 11V or above 15V. If this happens, please recheck the input power supply to make sure correct power is present. Output BAttEry ConnEctions Two 4mm banana sockets are located on the right side of the charger.
OpErAtion • When the charger is connected to the power source the charger will show the battery mode that was last used. • If the battery TYPE button is briefly pressed, the present battery type (NiCd, NiMH, Lithium, or Pb ) will flash. While the existing battery type is flashing, every time the battery TYPE button is pressed, the following modes are shown in order: NiCd CHARGE BATT TYPE NiMH CHARGE BATT TYPE C=3.0A C=3.0A LiIo CHARGE 3.0A BATT TYPE C=3000mAh 10.8Vp BATT TYPE Pb CHARGE C=3.
• If the other buttons are pressed, or nothing is pressed, the present battery type stops flashing. • If the Battery TYPE button is pressed and briefly held, the recent & previous data will be shown until the Battery TYPE button is pressed. • If the ENTER button is briefly pressed, a parameter which can be adjusted starts to flash and if the ENTER button is pressed again, the next parameter starts to flash. If nothing is pressed for 3 seconds, the parameter stops flashing.
