Power Peak 3/24 Sport LI
Order No.

The Lithium battery pack is charged at a constant
current until it reaches the final charge voltage
of 4.2 V per cell (B). After this point the
charger maintains the voltage at a constant
level, and the rest of the charge is delivered with
a declining current curve until the pack reaches
the final cut-off point (C).

At the conclusion of the charge process the
beeper sounds, and the letter R (= Ready)
appears on the screen. The pack can now be
removed from the charger, and is ready for use.
Discharge process
This charger can also be used to discharge
Lithium batteries. The first step is to set a discharge
current in the set-up menu “SET DIS”. The
discharge process terminates automatically at
about 2.5 Volts per cell.
Safety notes
• The Power Peak 3/24 Sport LI is suitable
solely for charging rechargeable NC, NiMH
and Lithium batteries. Do not attempt to
recharge dry cells - explosion hazard.
• The charger is designed solely for use with
an 11 … 15 V DC power supply; do not connect
it to any other voltage.
• Protect the charger at all times from dust,
dirt and damp.
• Do not subject the charger to excessive
heat or cold, nor to direct sunlight.
• Avoid shock and pressure loads, and do not
subject the Power Peak charger to severe
vibration.
• Do not place the charger and the batteries
connected to it on any form of flammable
surface. Do not operate the charger in the
vicinity of inflammable materials or gases.

• Do not leave the charger operating unsupervised.
It is normal for the charger to
become quite hot when operating.
• Ensure that there is an unrestricted airflow
to the charger’s cooling slots - never place
it on a carpet or felt surface.
• If you will not be using the charger for a protracted
period, disconnect it from the power
supply and any batteries connected to it.
• Never charge any battery a second time
immediately after its initial charge.
• Do not charge a battery which is already
warm or hot to the touch. Allow packs to
cool down to ambient temperature before
continuing.
• Packs to be charged as a unit must consist
of cells of the same make, the same type
and the same capacity.
• Do not charge two batteries connected in
parallel to one output; connect only one
battery at a time.
• Take great care to maintain correct polarity
of the battery, and avoid short-circuits.
• Read the battery manufacturer’s instructions
and adhere to them strictly.
• Check the charger case and cables for
damage at regular intervals.
Safety Notes relating to Lithium-Ion-Polymer
batteries
These operating instructions for the battery
charger can only provide a global overview of
the methods of charging and handling rechargeable
Lithium batteries, and should not be
considered as a substitute for the instructions
provided by the battery manufacturer.
Please be sure to read the instructions and
information supplied by the battery manufacturer.
• Do not submerge the battery in water or any
other liquid.
• Do not heat or incinerate the battery, or
place it in a microwave oven.
• Do not short-circuit the pack or charge it
with reversed polarity.
• Do not subject the battery to physical pressure;
do not deform or throw it.
• Do not solder directly to the battery.
• Do not modify or open the battery.
