WARNING

1. Always use a charger speciﬁcally designed for the chemistry of the battery to be charged.

Never use NiCD or NiMH type chargers to charge LiPO batteries. Never use a LiPO type

charger to charge NiCD or NiMH batteries. Failure to do so will damage the batteries and

may cause ﬁre and personal injury. When charging NiMH batteries, you must use a linear

charger with peak detection. Do not use a timer charger. Charge battery at no higher than a

1C charge rate. To calculate your battery’s 1C charge rate, divide the battery capacity (mAh)

by 1000.

Example: 3000mah ÷ 1000 = 3amps, 4200mah ÷ 1000 = 4.2amps, etc.

2. Always charge batteries in a ﬁre proof container. Do not charge batteries on or near wood,

cloth, carpet, in your model, or on or near any other ﬂammable material. Keep a chemical ﬁre

extinguisher near by in case of ﬁre.

3. Never leave batteries unattended while charging. Always observe batteries when charging

so that you may react quickly to any problems that may occur.

4. If a battery is deformed, swollen or appears damaged, DO NOT CHARGE. Follow the disposal

instructions below to properly and safely dispose the battery.

5.

Any time you have an accident with your model or if the battery swells “balloons” or if the

battery exceeds temperature guidelines, follow these safety steps:

a. Immediately remove the battery pack from your model or charger.

b. Place the battery in a non-ﬂammable, well ventilated area.

c. Observe the battery for 30 minutes from a safe distance.

d. After 30 minutes, if the pack appears stable, is not swollen and does not show any signs of

damage, return the battery pack to normal use with caution.

6. Do not let exposed battery wires touch each other. This may cause the battery to short and

potentially cause a ﬁre.

7. Store your batteries in a cool, dry place between 40-80 Fº / 4-26 Cº. Batteries must be stored

at 3.75-3.80 volts per cell to maintain capacity and pack life. Do not store fully charged for

longer than one week to prevent damage.

8. Do not assemble unmatched or dissimilar LiPO cells.

9. Store battery packs out of the reach of children and pets.

CHARGING WARNINGS

BATTERY DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Discharge battery pack to 2.5 Volts per cell or less.

2. Fill a bucket with enough water to submerge the battery pack completely.

3. Add salt to the water until no more salt will dissolve; the water is nowsaturated with salt.

4. Place the battery pack in the bucket and leave submerged in the salt water solution for 24 hours.

5. Remove the battery pack from the salt water and test the voltage.

6. If the voltage does not read 0.0 Volts, re-submerge and re-test untilthe voltage reads 0.0 Volts.

7. Once the battery pack has been discharged to 0.0 Volts, it is safe to dispose of in the trash.

[ 10 ]

The Venom™ Medion Dual 10 Amp Charger has default settings in the User Set

menu that can be adjusted in this ﬁrst step. The screen displays the following

information in sequence and the user can change the value of the parameter

on each screen. When you want to alter the

parameter value in the program, press the Start/

Enter button once. The value will start ﬂashing. It

can be changed by using the INC or DEC buttons,

and ﬁnally saved by pressing the Start/Enter

button once.

The screen displays the nominal voltage of a

Lithium battery. There are three kinds of Lithium

batteries: LiFe (3.3V), LiIO (3.6V) or LiPO (3.7V). It

is very important to check the battery and set up

correctly for the chemistry type. If it is different

from the correct value, the battery may explode

during the charge process.

The Venom™ Medion Dual 10 Amp Charger

recognizes the cell count of Lithium batteries

automatically at the beginning of the charge or

discharge process to avoid erroneous settings

by the user. A deeply discharged battery can be

recognized incorrectly by the charger. To prevent

the error, you can set the time term to verify the

cell count by the processor. Normally, 10 minutes

is enough to perceive the cell count correctly.

For a battery of larger capacity, you may

extend the time term. If you set the time term too long for a battery of smaller

capacity, the charge or discharge process may ﬁnish within the time term

with the erroneous cell count. This may cause lethal results. If the processor

recognizes the cell count incorrectly at the beginning of the charge or

discharge process, you may extend the time. Otherwise use the default value.

Delta peak of NiCD and NiMH battery

This is the setting to set the sensitivity for the charger to detect the peak on a

NiCD or NiMH battery. The effective value ranges from 5 to 20 mV per cell. If the

trigger voltage is set higher, there is a danger of overcharging the battery. If it

is set lower, there is a possibility of premature termination. Please refer to the

technical speciﬁcation of the battery. (NiCD default: 12mV, NiMH default: 7mV).

USER SETUP PROGRAMMING MENU

An optional feature to protect the battery is the

external temperature probe. The temperature cut-

off can be On or Off. If it is On, set the maximum

temperature at which the charger should allow

battery to reach during charge. Once a battery

reaches this temperature during charge, the process

will be terminated to protect the battery.

When using the battery cycle feature of charging

and discharging, a battery will become warm after

the charge or discharge period. This program can

insert a time delay to occur after each charge and

discharge process to allow the battery adequate

time to cool down before being subjected to the next

process. The value ranges from 1-60 minutes.

Trickle charge mode for NiMH, NiCD, and PB

batteries. This can be set to On or Off. With this

mode turned On, the charger will automatically

supply a trickle current to the battery after fast

charging has ended. This trickle will be enough to

maintain full charge without overheating.

Note: Trickle charging a NiMH battery may damage the pack

When you start a charge process, the integral

safety timer automatically starts running at the same

time. This is to prevent overcharging the battery if

it proves faulty, or if the termination circuit cannot

detect that the battery is full. The value for the safety

timer should be generous enough to allow a full

charge of the battery.

This program sets the maximum charge capacity that will be supplied to the battery

during charge. If the delta peak voltage is not detected nor the safety timer expired

for some reason, this feature will automatically stop the process at the selected

capacity value.

The beep sounds every time a button is pressed to conﬁrm your action. The beep or

melody sounds at various times during operation to alert different mode changes.

These audible sounds can be On or Off.

This program monitors the input voltage of the

source. If the voltage drops below the value you

set, the operation forcibly terminates to protect

the input source.

The backlight intensity of the LCD screen can be

adjusted to suit different conditions.

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. Lithium batteries use a

charge technique termed constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC). The

charge current varies according to the battery capacity and performance. The

ﬁnal voltage of the charge process is also very important. It should be precisely

matched to the charge voltage of the battery. They are 4.2V for LiPO, 4.1V for LiIo,

and 3.7V for LiFe. The charge current and nominal voltage as for cell count set on

the charge program must always be correct for the battery to be charged.

To alter a parameter value in the program, press Start/Enter button to make it

ﬂash, then change the value with INC or DEC button. The value will be stored by

pressing Start/Enter button once.

FAST CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERY

Lithium charge proﬁles are set so the feeding

current gradually reduces near the end of the

charge to maintain the constant voltage. (CV)

To ﬁnish the charging process faster, this program

shortens the amount of time for the CV process

and ends earlier. The charging current will go to 1/5 from the initial value to end

the process while the normal Lithium charge process reduces to 1/10 during the

CV term. The ﬁnal charged capacity will be slightly less than if using the regular

charge feature, and charge time is greatly reduced.

You can set up the charging current and the

voltage of the battery pack being charged. As you

press Start/Enter button, the voltage conﬁrmation

will be displayed. Then if you conﬁrm the voltage

and current, press Start/Enter button again to

start charging.

The screen shows the real-time progress during

fast charge process. To stop charging press Batt

Type/Stop button once.

STORAGE MODE FOR LITHIUM BATTERY

Lithium batteries, if they are to be stored for a long time, need to be conditioned

and have their voltage set to a prescribed level to maintain long life. If stored

fully charged for a long period of time, packs will increase in internal resistance,

and lose power, or capacity. Use the storage feature for batteries that will be

stored for more than 30 days.

This program will determine to charge or discharge the battery to the storage

voltage depending on the battery at its initial stage. They are different from the

type of Lithium battery. 3.75V for LiIo, 3.85V for LiPO, and 3.3V for LiFe per cell. If

the voltage of battery at the start is over the storage voltage, the program will

start to discharge.

VOLTAGE BALANCING AND MONITORING DURING DISCHARGE

The processor monitors the voltage of individual cells during storage mode

and discharge of a lithium battery pack. With the balance block attached to the

balance plug of the battery, it will equalize the voltage of each cell during the

storage and discharge function.

If the voltage of any one or more cells varies abnormally during the procedure, it

terminates the process automatically with the error message “Battery Voltage Cell

Low Vol”. If this happens, the battery pack contains

the bad cell, or the bad connection of the cable

plug. You can easily know which one cell is bad by

pressing INC button at time of the error message.

The processor detected the voltage of one cell in

the Lithium pack is too low.

In this case, the 4th cell is bad. If there is a

connection break in the cable or plug the voltage
