SK-100170 Multi Chemistry Charger

Multi Chemistry Charger SK-100170 Instruction Manual

Introduction

The Multi Chemistry Charger SK-100170 is a versatile charger
capable of charging various types of batteries. It features an AC
100-240V power jack, battery type indicator, battery type button,
current and capacity LED indicator, current switch, balance port,
and battery socket.

AC 100-240V Power Jack

The AC 100-240V power jack allows you to connect the charger to
a power source using the included AC power cord.

Battery Type Indicator and Button

The battery type indicator and button allow you to select the
type of battery you want to charge. The available options are LiPo,
LiFe, and LiHV.

Current and Capacity LED Indicator

The current and capacity LED indicator displays the charging
current and the remaining capacity of the battery being
charged.

Current Switch

The current switch allows you to select the charging current.
The available options are 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A.

Balance Port and Battery Socket

The balance port and battery socket are used to connect the
battery to the charger.

Operation

The SKYRC e455 charger comes with a built-in power supply. To
charge a battery, follow these steps:

Insert the AC power cord into the charger.
Insert the AC cord into a wall socket (100-240V). The battery
type LED and the charge current LED (default 2A) will glow constant
white.
Connect the battery balance wire to the balance port, which is
on the front side of the charger. Select the battery type
(LiPo/LiFe/LiHV) by pressing the BATT button.
Select the proper charging current (1A/2A/3A/4A) by pressing
the A button. The recommended charge rate is 1C (battery capacity =
charge current). For example, if you have a LiPo cell of 2200mAh
capacity, the charge current should be 2.2A (1C). If you have a
LiPo cell of 2800mAh capacity, the charge current should be 2.8A
(1C).
Connect the battery main charge lead to the battery socket,
which is on the front side of the charger, and the battery balance
wire to the balance port, which is on the right side of the
charger.
Press and hold the A button for 2 seconds to start charging.
The charge status LED will glow to indicate charging is in
progress.

CAUTION: Make sure to connect your battery to
the e455 charger as shown in the connection diagram. Failure to do
so will damage the charger.

OPERATION

SKYRC e455 comes with the built in power supply. You can connect the AC power cord to the AC socket(100-240V AC) directly.

Please refer to following steps to charge the battery,

1) Insert the AC power cord into the charger.

2) Insert the AC cord into a wall socket (100-

240V). The battery type LED and the charge

current LED(default 2A) will glow constant

white.

3) Connect battery balance wire to balance port

which is in front side of the charger, select the

battery type LiPo/LiFe/LiHV by pressing the

“BATT” button.

Select Battery Type

4) Select the proper charging current 1A/2A/3A/4A by pressing the “A” button.
The charge current varies from 1A(1000mA) to 4A(4000mA). The recommended charge rate is 1C (battery capacity = charge current). 1C means: capacity value = charge current.

Example: LiPo cell of 2200mAh Capacity; 1C=2200mA (=2.2A) charge current. You can choose 2A current to charge the battery.

LiPo cell of 2800mAh Capacity; 1C=2800mA (=2.8A) charge current. You can choose 3A current to charge the battery.

5) Charging LiPo/LiFe/LiHV Battery

Select Charging Current

Connect the battery main charge lead to battery socket which is in the front side of the charger and

battery balance wire to balance port which is in the right side of the charger.

Press and hold “A” button for 2 seconds to start charging. The charge status LED will glow to indicate

charging is in progress.
