E-MAX LIPO CHARGER BALANCER EC-0857

Emax EC-0856 Balance Charger

The Emax EC-0856 Balance Charger is an affordable and simple to use charger that will help keep your Lipo batteries in good condition. There's nothing fancy about it, but it does what it says - balance charges your 2 or 3 cell Lipo batteries! It is very important to keep the cells of your Lipo batteries balanced......that is, all cells should be about the same voltage. This helps prevent individual cells from being damaged during use.

This charger uses standard houseld current, and includes a 4 foot power cord. It is recommended for use with Lipo batteries of 1000mah capacity or larger. 

To charge a Lipo with this charger:

1. Connect the charger to a standard 110/120 volt outlet. Three GREEN LED lights will come on, indicating that the charger is properly connected to power.

2. Plug the balance connector of your 2 or 3 cell Lipo battery into the appropriate charging port. Two or three of the LED lights will turn RED, indicating the cells are being charged.

3. The LED lights will turn GREEN when charging is complete. Unplug the battery from the charger, and disconnect power to the charger.
