INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your choice of the SKYRC QUATTRO B6AC digital intelligent charger from SKYRC Technology Co., Ltd. You are now the owner of a compact charger with battery management and integral balancer. The unit is simple to use, but the operation of a sophisticated automatic charger such as the SKYRC QUATTRO B6AC does require some knowledge on the part of the user. These operating instructions are designed to ensure that you quickly become familiar with its functions.
INTRODUCTION Please read this entire operating manual completely and attentively before using this product, as it covers a wide range of information on operating and safety. Or please do use this product in company with a specialist!

SPECIAL FEATURES SPECIAL FEATURES SKYRC QUATTRO B6AC allows you to plug 4 batteries into one charger simultaneously, and it will intelligently and automatically charge all 4 of them at once to their maximum capacity. To top of it, the batteries being charged do not even need to have the same configuration. You can connect different chemistry（Ni-MH/Ni-CD/LiPo/LiFe）batteries into any of the charging ports. No more staying up late for charging batteries.
SPECIAL FEATURES Fast and storage mode of lithium battery Purposes to charge Lithium battery varies, 'fast' charge reduce the duration of charging, whereas 'store' state can control the final voltage of your battery, so as to store for a long time and protect useful time of the battery. Maximum safety Delta-peak sensitivity: The automatic charge termination program based on the principle of the Delta-peak voltage detection.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES These warnings and safety notes are particularly important. Please follow the instructions for maximum safety; otherwise the charger and the battery can be damaged or at worst it can cause a fire. Never leave the charger unattended when it is connected to its power supply. If any malfunction is found, TERMINATE THE PROCESS AT ONCE and refer to the operation manual. Keep the charger well away from dust, damp, rain, heat, direct sunshine and vibration.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Please bear in mind the following points before commencing charging: Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery you are charging? Did you set up 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).
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Charging During charge process, a specific quantity of electrical energy is fed into the battery. The charge quantity is calculated by multiplying charge current by charge time. The maximum permissible charge current varies depending on the battery type or its performance, and can be found in the information by the battery manufacturer. Only batteries that are expressly stated to be capable of quick-charge are allowed to be charged at rates higher than the standard charge current.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Discharging The main purpose of discharging is to clean the residual capacity of the battery, or to reduce the battery' voltage to a defined level. The same attention should be paid to the discharging process as the charging process. The final discharge voltage should be set up correctly to avoid deep discharging. Lithium batteries cannot be discharged to lower than the minimum voltage, or it will cause a rapid loss of capacity or a total failure.

LITHIUM BATTERY(LIPO/LILO/LIFE)PROGRAM CONNECTING THE CHARGER SKYRC QUATTRO B6AC comes with the built in switching power supply. You can connect the AC power cord directly to the main AC socket. (100-240V AC) For attaching directly to 12V car batteries. It is critically important that you use a fully charged 13.8V car battery .
LITHIUM BATTERY(LIPO/LILO/LIFE)PROGRAM These programs are only suitable for charging and discharging Lithium batteries with a nominal voltage of 3.3V, 3.6V and 3.7V per cell. These batteries need to adopt different charge technique is termed a constant voltage(CV) and constant current(CC) method. The charge current varies according to the battery capacity and performance. The final voltage of charge process is also very important; it should be precisely matched with the charade voltage of the battery.
LITHIUM BATTERY(LIPO/LILO/LIFE)PROGRAM - + DEC INC Batt type Stop The left side of the first line shows the type of battery you choose. The value on the left of the second line of the charger is current user set. After setting the current and voltage, press Start/Enter - + DEC INC key for more than 3 seconds to start the process.(charge current: Start '> 3 seconds' 0.1-6.0A, voltage: 1S-6S). Enter This displays the number of cells you set up and the processor detects.
LITHIUM BATTERY(LIPO/LILO/LIFE)PROGRAM 'STORAGE' CONTROL OF LITHIUM BATTERY This is for charging or discharging Lithium battery not to be used for the time being. The program will determine to charge or discharge the battery to the certain voltage depending on the voltage of the battery at its initial stage. They are different from the type of the battery, 3.75V for LiIo, 3.85V for LiPo and 3.3V for LiFe per cell.
PB( LEAD-SULPHURIC ACID) BATTERY PROGRAM This is programmed for charging Pb(lead-sulphuric acid) battery with nominal voltage from 2 to 20V. Pb batteries are totally different from NiCd or NiMH batteries. They can only deliver relatievely lower current compare to their capacity, and similar restrictions definitely apply to charge. So the optimal charge current will be 1/10 of the capacity. Pb batteries must not be charged rapidly. Always follow the instruction is supplied by the manufacturer of battery.
NIMH/NICD BATTERY PROGRAM These programs are for charging or discharging NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydride) or NiCd (Nickel-Cadmium) battery commonly used for R/C model aplications. To alter the value at the display, press Start/Enter key to make it blink then change the value using INC or DEC key. The value will be stored by pressing Start/Enter key once. To start the process, press Start/ Enter button for more than 3 seconds.
NIMH/NICD BATTERY PROGRAM CHARGING NICD/NIMH BATTERY IN RE-PEAK CHARGE MODE Re-peak Charge Mode (NiCd and NiMH batteries only): In re-peak charge mode, the charger can peak charge the battery once, twice or three times in a row automatically. This is good for confirming the battery is fully charged, and for checking how well the battery receives fast charges. A five minute cool-off delay occurs after each re-peak charge. See the diagram below for using re-peak charge mode.
