The Main Menu is where all main functions (charge, discharge, cycle) are located and started, as well as where to select the

battery type, charge, discharge, and cycle currents and voltages. When power is applied the first time, Triton2 will automatically

default to the "Memory (01) NiCd" screen shown on the left side of the Main Menu flowchart. It is strongly recommended to

have all flowcharts handy as it will greatly simplify and quicken the process of learning to use the charger.

1. ALWAYS connect the battery adapter lead to the charger BEFORE connecting the battery to the adapter. Make sure to observe

proper polarities for all connections, with the red positive (+) leads connected to each other, and the black negative (-) leads connected

to each other. WARNING! NEVER allow the positive and negative output connections to touch while a battery is connected.

Failure to do so could result in permanent damage to the battery and/or the charger and void your warranty.

2. Rotate the dial to move up and down a menu. To adjust values on-screen, press the dial and the adjustable feature will flash.

Rotate the dial to find desired value, then re-press the dial to confirm the selection. If a screen shows two adjustable values,

repeatedly press the dial to select the value to be adjusted.

3. BATTERY MEMORIES: If you don't

wish to use a battery memory, skip to

step 4. Using the memories prevents

you from having to manually change

all settings each time you change

batteries. Once set, simply select the

memory number that matches the

corresponding

battery. You

customize any of the ten memories as

you wish, as explained in the diagram

at right. Or, you can use one of the ten

factory programmed memories if the

settings match your battery type. See

the included BATTERY MEMORY

CHARTS for the factory programmed

memories, and a blank chart where

you can record customized memory

settings. All memory settings will hold

even if power is removed, until they're

changed again manually.

Note: You cannot start any charge,

discharge, or cycle function from the

memory screens. You must press

MENU CHANGE to confirm all

memory settings and move to the

appropriate "charge" screen for the

selected battery type.

4. SETTING BATTERY TYPE: If not using a memory, press BATT TYPE to find the battery type which EXACTLY matches your

battery. Referring to the Main Menu flowchart, select from NiCd, NiMH, LiPo (use this for Li-Ion batteries also – see the

"Selecting LiPo or Li-Ion Battery Type" section for details), and Pb (lead-acid).

5. STARTING CHARGE, DISCHARGE, OR CYCLE: Read the sections below for how to set values for the selected battery

type, and how to start charge, discharge, or a cycle.

• NEVER allow NiMH batteries to overheat, as this could adversely affect their performance. If this happens, disconnect the

battery from the charger immediately and allow to cool!

• NEVER deep cycle NiMH batteries as permanent damage could result.

• NEVER attempt to use the NiCd, Pb, or lithium functions with NiMH batteries.

• Store NiMH packs with some voltage remaining on the cells (refer to battery supplier).

Press the dial, then rotate to select a memory (1-10). Re-press dial to

confirm memory selection.

ROTATE DIAL

IMPORTANT! Press, then rotate dial to find the EXACT battery type to

match your battery. Press dial to confirm.

Press, then rotate dial to find the voltage which EXACTLY matches the

nominal voltage shown on the battery pack. Press dial to confirm.

Press, then rotate dial to find the capacity value which MOST CLOSELY

matches the capacity shown on the battery pack. Press dial to confirm.

Press, then rotate dial to find the desired charge current. Refer to the

"NiCd and NiMH Charge and Discharge Current" chart for

recommendations. Press dial to confirm. (Screen not shown for lithium

batteries, as current will automatically be set to the battery's 1C value).

Press, then rotate dial to find the discharge current value. Refer to the

NiCd and "NiMH Charge and Discharge Current" chart to determine the

proper current. Press dial to confirm.

Press, then rotate dial to find the discharge cut-off voltage. Refer to the

"Discharge Cutoff Settings - NiCd and NiMH" chart on page 7 to

determine the proper voltage. Press dial to confirm. (Screen not shown

4.4V

for lithium or lead-acid batteries.)
