TO ITS POWER SOURCE. IF ANY MALFUNCTION IS FOUND, TERMINATE
THE PROCESS AT ONCE AND REFER TO THE OPERATION MANUAL.
A The allowable AC input voltage is 100 - 240V AC
A The allowable DC input voltage is 11-18V DC.
A Keep the charger away from dust, damp, rain, heat, direct sunlight and
excessive vibration.
A If the charger is dropped or su ers any type of impact, it should be inspect-

are charging?
• Did you set up the adequate current for charging or discharging?
• Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired
in parallel and in series, i.e. a 2-cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in
series).
• Have you checked that all connections are rm and secure?
• Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.
