User manual GRAUPNER LIPO-CHARGER 3

[. . . ] The use of the most recent semi-conductor technology has made it possible to obtain those superb charging characteristics, simple handling, and an optimum of reliability that you will normally find only with devices of a higher price class. the LiPo charger 2/3 can charge 2 or 3 LiIon or Lithium polymer cells. Please note: The charging instructions of the battery producers, as well as the charge currents and charging time, should always be respected. Only the batteries which are expressedly adapted to the use of these high currents may be quick-charged. [. . . ] LiPo batteries are distinguished by their charge capacity which is significantly higher than with other types of batteries. However, this advantage, essential as it is in its way on the one hand, requires a different treatment in view of the charge / discharge methods and a problemfree operation. Please refer to the producer's technical specifications for further indications and safety rules. Basically, batteries built on a basis of Lithium may ONLY be charged using special chargers which are adapted, with respect to final cut-off voltage and capacity, to the type of battery to be charged. LiPo batteries are normally charged with 1-2 C current, where 1 C is the capacity charge current. 9 A, so adjusting isn't necessary and has been deliberately made redundant. As soon as the battery's specific charging end voltage has been reached the charge current will be automatically reduced in order to prevent that the cut-off voltage is exceeded.
