8. Operation
a) Connecting the charger to the power supply
Connectthechargertoapowersupplytoturniton.YoucanusetheACinput(100–240V/AC)
ortheDCinput(stabilised9–12V/DC).TheDCinputallowsyoutousethechargeron-the-go.
When the charger switches on, “VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 1S QUAD” will appear on the display.
Always connect the charger to the power supply before connecting a battery.
Do not use the AC and DC power connections at the same time, as this may damage
the charger and void the warranty.
 Ifthechargerispoweredbyaxedvoltagepoweradapter,thepowersupplymust
beabletodeliverasufcientlyhighcurrent(forbestresults,werecommendapower
supply that delivers a current of at least 14 A). However, the charger features a built-in
poweradapter,thereforeaxedvoltagepoweradapterisnotrequiredandshouldbe
avoided.
The charger is now ready for use.
b) Connecting a battery to the charger
You can charge up to four batteries at the same time. The charger has four separate channels.
Eachchannelconsistsof4batteryterminals(BEC,MOLEX,MCPX,MCX),ared/greendual
LED indicator and a switch. The channels are separated from each other and indicated by the
CH1–CH4markings.
 Usetheswitchonthecorrespondingchannel(CHX)tosetthemaximumpermitted
voltage(4.2V/4.35V)fortheconnectedbatterytype.Werecommendresettingthe
switchtoLiPoafterchargingiscomplete.ChargingLiPobatterieswithanexcessive
maximumvoltagerepresentsarehazard.Inaddition,LiHVrechargeablebatteries
willnotreachtheirmaximumcapacity.
 Connectamaximumofonebatterytoeachchannel.Youcanonlyuseoneoutput
(BEC,MOLEX,MCPX,MCX)atthesametime.Amaximumoffourbatteriescanbe
connected to the charger.
 Onlyusesingle-cellrechargeablebatteries(S1).Thechargerdoesnothavethenec-
essary connections for monitoring individual cells.
