Introduction Congratulations on your choice of SKYRC T200 AC/DC Dual Balance Charger/Discharger. This unit is simple to use, but the operation of a sophisticated automatic charger such as SKYRC T200 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 Dual Channel Charger SkyRC T200 allows you to charge 2 batteries with different chemistries simultaneously, and it will intelligently and automatically initiate the charging to their maximum capacity. Charging of each channel is 100Watts. Total output power of this charger is 200Watts. Optimized Operating Software SkyRC T200 features the co-called AUTO function that sets the feeding current during the process of charging/discharging.
Special Features 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. Cyclic Charging/Discharging 1 to 5 cyclic and continuous process of charge > discharge or discharge > charge is operable for battery refreshing and balancing to stimulate the battery's activity.
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 .

REVERSE THE SEQUENCE WHEN DISCONNECTING THE PACK. 1) LiPo Battery Connection LiPo The balance wire of the battery must be connected to the charger. Always remember to keep right polarity in the connection. Please refer to the wiring diagram above, which shows a correct way for your LiPo battery connection in the balance charge mode.
Charge Operation Charging Program Depends on different battery type, the operation programs are different. Batt Type LiPo LiHV Lilon LiFe NiMH NiCd Pb · 12 Operation Program Description CHARGE This charging mode is for charging LiPo/LiHV/LiFe/LiIon battery in normal mode. DISCHARGE This mode is for discharging LiPo/LiHV/LiFe/LiIon battery. STORAGE This program is for charging or discharging lithium battery which will not be used for long time.
Lithium Battery Program (LiPo/LiFe/Lilon/LiHV) (1) A memory profile is available for setting and storing pertinent information for up to 20 different program sets; each channel can store 10 program. Once a battery program is stored into memory, it will be retained until changed again manually. Recalling a program memory number makes the charger instantly ready to go! (2) If you do not wish to use the battery program memories, this charger can be manually set before each use.
Lithium Battery Program(LiPo/LiFe/Lilon/LiHV) BATTERY CHECK The charger is detecting the battery cell. WAIT... 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.
