Introduction Congratulations on your choice of SKYRC D100 V2 AC/DC Dual Balance Charger/Discharger/Power Supply. This unit is simple to use, but the operation of a sophisticated automatic charger such as SKYRC D100 V2 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.
Special Features Twin-channel Charger SKYRC D100 V2 allows you to plug 2 batteries into one charger simultaneously, and it will intelligently and automatically charge 2 battries 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(NiMH/NiCd/LiPo/LiFe/Lilon/LiHV/Pb)batteries into any of the charging ports. Dual Input and Power Distribution The input of SKYRC D100 V2 is AC 100-240V and DC 11-18V.
Special Features Voice Guide Purposes to make the charger more user friendly and customizable. A speaker supported English and Chinese separately have been included in the left side of the charger that can reduce the times for mis-operation. Battery Memory (Data Store/Load) The charger can store up to 10 different charge/discharge profiles for each channel. You can keep the data pertaining to program setting of the battery of continuous charging or discharging.
Special Features Fast Charge and Storage Mode of Lithium Battery Function of the two modes differs from each other. “FAST CHG” minimizes battery charge time, while “STORAGE” has the capacity to control the final battery voltage, which is necessary and helpful for a rarely used battery. Re-Peak Mode of NiMH/NiCd Battery 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 making the battery fully charged.
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. Never drop it.
Warning And Safety Notes Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries. A battery pack which consists of different types of cells (including different manufacturers) A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly discharged. Non-rechargeable batteries (Explosion hazard). Batteries that require a different charge technique from NiCd, NiMh, LiPo or Gel cell (Pb, Lead acid). A faulty or damaged battery. A battery fitted with an integral charge circuit or a protection circuit.
Warning And Safety Notes Attention should be paid to the connection of lithium battery especially. Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily. Please get highlighted that lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in series. In the parallel connection, the battery’s capacity is calculated by multiplying single battery capacity by the number of cells with total voltage stay the same. The voltages imbalance may cause fire or explosion .

Power and Battery Connection 1. Connecting to power source There are two kinds of inputs for SKYRC D100 V2, DC 11-18V and AC 100-240V. AC 100-240V power source connection. 12V DC Battery / DC power supply connection.
Power and Battery Connection Note: We will explain the operating procedure of one channel as the procedure for channel A and B is identical. 2. Connecting the battery TO AVOID SHORT CIRCUITS, ALWAYS CONNECT THE CHARGE LEADS TO THE CHARGER FIRST, AND THEN TO THE BATTERY. REVERSE THE WARNING! SEQUENCE WHEN DISCONNECTING THE PACK.
Operating Program Here is the detailed procedure to make the charger work. All the screens and operations will take Li-Po BALANCE CHARGE program for example, Note: We will explain the operating procedure of one channel as the procedure for channel A and B is identical.. 1. Connection 1). Connecting to power source There are two kinds of inputs for SKYRC D100 V2, DC 11-18V and AC 100-240V. A. Operating in AC mode SKYRC D100 V2 comes with built-in switching power supply.
Operating Program 2). Connecting the battery Important!!! Before connecting a battery it is absolutely essential to check one last time that you have set the parameters correctly. If the settings are incorrect, the battery may be damaged, and could even burst into flames or explode. To avoid short circuits between the banana plugs, always connect the charge leads to the charger first, and only then to the battery. Reverse the sequence when disconnecting the pack. 3).
Lithium Battery Program (LiPo/LiFe/Lilon/LiHV) The following flowcharts show the entire programming menu. It is highly recommended to keep these flowcharts handy while you learn how to operate this charger. There are two main ways to program the charger. (1) A memory profile is available for setting and storing pertinent information for up to 20 different program sets; each channel can store 10 sets. Once a battery program is stored into memory, it will be retained until changed again manually.
Lithium Battery Program(LiPo/LiFe/Lilon/LiHV) BATTERY CHECK WAIT... R:3SER S:3SER CANCEL(STOP) R:3SER S:3SER CONFIRM(ENTER) START/ENTER The charger is detecting the battery cell. R shows the number of cells detected by the charger and S is the number of cells set by you on the previous screen. If the two numbers are not identical, press STOP to go back to the previous screen to recheck the number of cells of the battery pack that you set before going ahead.
Lithium Battery Program (LiPo/LiFe/Lilon/LiHV) VARIOUS INFORMATION DURING THE PROCESS Press INC or DEC during the charging or discharging process to view further pertinent information on the LCD screen.

NiMH/NiCd Battery Program NiMH/NiCd: This program is only suitable for charging/discharging NiMH/NiCd batteries. The D100 V2 offers the following NiMH/NiCd charge modes: Charge, Auto Charge, Discharge, Re-Peak and Cycle. Selecting the Battery Type: After powering on the D100 V2, press the INC or DEC button repeatedly until you reach the appropriate program for the battery type you wish to charge. For this example we have chosen the “NiMH BATT“ or “NiCd BATT” program.
NiMH/NiCd Battery Program NiMH Auto CHARGE CURRENT 1.3A START/ENTER After selecting the correct battery type, use the INC or DEC button to change the charge mode to the “Auto CHARGE” setting. Press the START button and the amp rate value will begin flashing. Use the INC or DEC button to adjust the value to the desired rate. Follow the instructions provided on your battery when setting the upper charge amperage rate. Press and hold the START button for 3 seconds to start charging. NiMH 1.3A 5.
NiMH/NiCd Battery Program [ TIME: 00:04:04 ] 9.6V 00640mAh When discharging is complete, the screen will read “END: CUTOFF-VOL” and the charger will emit a ringing sound. The charger will display the elapsed time, end voltage and the discharged capacity in mAh. You can press the STOP button at any time during the discharging process to stop the discharge process.
NiMH/NiCd Battery Program NiMH/NiCd Cycle Mode: The D100 V2 makes cycling of NiMH/NiCd batteries easy. The process of discharging and recharging (cycling) can be performed automatically with one simple step and will improve the performance of NiMH/NiCd batteries. We strongly recommend cycling any battery that has been discharged and stored for a period of time. This will increase the remaining usable battery life and also improve the battery performance.

Conformity Declaration D100 V2 satisfy all relevant and mandatory CE directives and FCC Part 15 Subpart B: 2016.
Commonly Used Terms Commonly used terms Final charge voltage: the voltage at which the battery's charge limit (capacity limit) is reached. The charge process switches from a high current to a low maintenance rate (trickle charge) at this point. From this point on further high current charging would cause overheating and eventual terminal damage to the pack. Final discharge voltage: the voltage at which the battery's discharge limit is reached.
