Cellpro Multi4 Charger
Model LC04S04A-MC, for use with LiPo, Li-Ion, A123,
NiCd, NiMH and Lead Acid battery packs
Automatic and manual charge rates at up to 4A with
overcharge protection and cell balancing (for packs with
node connectors)
Features
New in v1.55 rmware: Press and hold Mode button at power on (see page 7) to...
n
Set current input limit to prevent charger from overstressing power supply.
n
Turn Auto Start on/off (off is factory default). With Auto Start on, simply connect bat-
tery to begin charging using selected preset.
New in v1.58 rmware: Multi4 now fully supports charging two parallel-connected
packs using two chargers. See page 11 for details.
n
Simple to operate: just connect the Cellpro Multi4 Charger between a power source and a
pack, select a pack-specic preset and start charging. No jumpers, plugs or dials to set! Char-
ger automatically determines pack capacity and sets optimal current, then dynamically adjusts
charge rate as needed. Manual charge rates up to 4.0A allow for special situations.
n
Charges LiPo, Li-Ion, LiFePO4, A123©, LiMn, NiCd, NiMH and Lead Acid chemistries
(adapters for many node connector types are available from FMA Direct). Supports both bal-
anced (depending on chemistry) and non-balanced charging (with certain safety limitations).
n
Charger holds up to 25 user congurable presets (User Presets), optimized for the different
chemistries, providing charging strategies for most common RC charging needs. Charger also
holds up to 50 Library Presets. When using the free Charge Control Software, the number of
custom presets is virtually unlimited and will grow over time to meet industry needs. Replace
and customize presets to match your battery inventory.
n
Charges Lithium (2s to 4s balanced charge, 1s to 2s unbalanced charge) and A123 packs (2s
to 4s balanced, 1s to 5s unbalanced) in any capacity up to 32Ah. During balanced charging,
each cell is charged independently, providing exceptional charging safety and elevating RC
packs to the safety level of cellphones. Typical packs of up to 4Ah capacity charge in 50 min-
utes or less using charger’s 2C Auto Current Mode.
n
Latest technology provides the ultimate in safety—even charges packs having hidden physical
damage without danger of re. A pack will not charge if individual cell voltages don’t equal
total pack voltage.
n
Cell balancing to 5mV and automatic overcharge protection assure longest pack life. Auto-
matic temperature monitoring prevents pack overcharging at low ambient temperatures and
charger damage at high ambient temperatures.
n
Backlit display lets you select presets, replace default presets from a library and shows charg-
ing data such as individual cell voltages, charge current, supply voltage, and amount of charge
(mAh) put into pack. Plus, the unique Fuel display shows percent capacity in a pack.
n
Charge Control Software (CCS, a free download) allows you to customize, save and load pre-
sets (including charger data displays), and view real-time charging data and graphs. CCS also
manages rmware updates to keep your charger operating smoothly.
Precautions
n
Follow all instructions in this manual to assure safe operation.
n
Always watch LiPo packs while charging. Never leave them unsupervised during charging.
n
See additional warning sheets provided with this charger and FMA LiPo packs.
n
Follow all guidelines for charging, discharging, handling and storing packs of all kinds.
