5. When finished charging, the screen will show "END" and tones will sound for 10 seconds. The battery should now be ready

for use. Triton2 will display details about the charge data for your battery, including charge capacity, elapsed charge time,

etc. To see details about input, output, maximum battery voltage and temperature, press BATT TYPE and MENU CHANGE

buttons simultaneously to see the DATA VIEW screens (see page 12).

1. At the "LiPo CHARGE" screen (or "Li-Ion CHARGE" screen if you selected that lithium type), rotate the dial to find the "LiPo

DISCHARGE" screen (or "Li-Ion DISCHARGE screen).

2. Two values can be adjusted on this discharge screen. Press the dial to cause the discharge current value to flash. Rotate

the dial to change this value (0.1 – 3.0 amps). To determine if a LiPo or Li-Ion battery can deliver its rated capacity, set this

current to the C÷ 5 value. For example, for a battery rated at 2100mAh, set this current to (2100 ÷ 5) = 420mA, or "0.4A".

3. Press the dial to cause the discharge cutoff voltage value to flash. This is the total pack voltage where Triton2 will stop

discharging, and is based on 3.0V per cell. The cutoff voltage should be set to 3.0V for a 1-cell battery, 6.0V for 2-cell packs,

9.0V for 3-cell packs, 12.0V for 4-cell packs, and 15.0V for 5-cell packs. Rotate the dial to adjust this value as needed, then

press the dial to confirm both settings.

4. To START DISCHARGE, press the dial for 2 seconds. "BATTERY CHECK" will show briefly, and Triton2 will start discharging

if the battery is in suitable condition.

5. When discharge is finished, the screen will show "END" and

tones will sound for 10 seconds. The battery can now be re-

charged, or disconnected from Triton2. To see details about input,

output, and average discharge voltages and capacity, press BATT

TYPE and MENU CHANGE buttons simultaneously to see the

DATA VIEW screens (see page 12).

CARE & HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEAD-ACID BATTERIES (Pb)

Never attempt to care for lead-acid (Pb) batteries in the same way as other battery types! Lead-acid batteries commonly used

in R/C hobby field boxes require unique care and handling methods as they contain different characteristics than other battery types.

• Do not attempt to use the NiCd, NiMH, or lithium functions on Pb batteries.

• Do not exceed 14.7V maximum charge voltage for batteries rated at 12V.

• Pb batteries have a self-discharge rate of 5-10%, meaning they hold charge very well. Thus, there is no need to trickle

charge Pb batteries. No cycling of Pb batteries is needed.

• Do not leave Pb batteries in the full discharge condition, which could cause the battery to lose its ability to regain full charge.

1. Press BATT TYPE to find the "Pb CHARGE" screen.

2. Two values can be adjusted on the Pb charge screen. Press the dial to cause the charge current value to flash. Rotate the

dial to change this value (0.1 – 7.0 amps). For 12V 7Ah (7000mAh) lead-acid field batteries, a slow charge current value of

C÷10 is recommended, which would be (7000 ÷ 10) = 700mA or "0.7A". A faster charge current value of C÷3 can be used,

which would be (7000 ÷ 3) = 2333mA or "2.3A".

3. Press the dial to cause the voltage value to flash. This is the nominal rated voltage of the entire battery. Set this voltage to

the voltage printed on your battery. Most hobby field batteries have a nominal rated voltage of 12.0V. Rotate the dial to find

the voltage value which matches that listed on your battery.

Press the dial to confirm both settings.

4. To START CHARGE, press the dial for 2 seconds.

"BATTERY CHECK" will show briefly, and Triton2 will start

charging if the battery is in suitable condition.

5. When finished charging, the screen will show "END" and tones

will sound for 10 seconds. The battery should now be ready for

use. To see details about input, output, and maximum battery

voltage, press BATT TYPE and MENU CHANGE buttons

simultaneously to see the DATA VIEW screens (see page 12).

DISCHARGING LiPo OR Li-Ion BATTERIES

CHARGING LEAD-ACID BATTERIES (Pb)

Notes about discharging LiPo and Li-Ion batteries:

• The maximum discharge current is 3 amps. For batteries having more than 6

volts, the actual amount of discharge current might automatically be limited so

to not exceed the charger's maximum rated discharge power of 20 watts. See

the included MAXIMUM POWER CHART for details.

• Discharge can be stopped manually by pressing MENU

disconnecting the pack.

Notes about charging Pb batteries:

• Lead-acid (Pb) batteries are charged using the "constant current / constant voltage"

process (cc/cv) as explained in the section for lithium batteries. However, the

charger will determine the battery is full when output current drops to approximately

90mA and will automatically stop charging at that time. The cutoff voltage for Pb

batteries is also different from lithium batteries.

• Lead-acid batteries do not need trickle charge, and therefore no such feature exists.

• Lead-acid batteries have a nominal voltage of 2.0V per cell. For most field batteries,

even though you cannot see any individual "cells", there are 6 cells internally. At

2.0V per cell, this makes a total field battery voltage of 12V.

• For lead-acid batteries rated at 12V or greater, the actual amount of current

delivered to the battery might be limited due to the charger's 90 watt max. charge

power rating. This is normal, due to various possible circumstances such as the

condition of the battery, limitations of the input power source, charge

connector/connection, etc.
