Charging/Discharging Batteries with GMC08
- Connect one end of the 12V, 2A DC output plug to the power jack on the device and the other end to an electrical outlet.
- Insert the batteries with the electrodes in the top right corner.
- Slide the battery capacity switch on the top right of the device to the desired capacity. The device will start charging/discharging the battery until the level reaches the selected capacity.
- Check the LEDs of each slot. When the LED turns solid green, the battery has finished charging/discharging and can be removed.
Notes:
- The three charging capacities are not exactly accurate. The lowest capacity is about 20%~30%, which mainly meets the demand for sea/land/air transportation. The intermediate capacity is around 60%, which mainly meets the demand for long-time transportation and storage. The highest capacity is around 100%, which is mainly suitable for charging batteries for daily use.
- The battery may have power loss when finish charging/ discharging, and after a while the device will start charging again.
- The short-circuited battery may cause GMC08 reboot repeatedly, and all the LED lights will flash. Remove the short- circuited battery will solve the problem.
- After slide the switch to different capacity level, the charging capacities will take 2~3(s) to take effect.
Precautions
- Do not attempt to open, disassemble, or modify the device.
- Do not use a third party power adapter.
