1-3 cells LiPo / LiFe
4-8 cells NiMH / NiCd
Connections & Operation
DC INPUT: connect to a suitable DC source
with 11-15V. Be careful with correct polarity!
- Red = Plus
- Black = Minus
STATUS LED: indicates if charger
is in stand-by-mode (LED off), char-

Balancing Function
The Sigma Power Charger contains an integrated balancer for 2S- and 3S Lithium based (LiPo, LiFe) battery packs
using EHR balancing connector. Please refer to drawing (also like that on charger) for correct polarity, basically
minus (black wire) is always on the far right side of the plug as shown
on drawing.
The balancer equalises the cells, during charging, which results in high-
er performance and higher cycle-life.
Caution: Avoid incorrect connection as in the worst case this may re-
sult in damage to the battery and/or charger!

Usage
Connection:
connect the Sigma Power Charger to a suitable power source:
 main power with 100-240V AC
 a suitable powersupply or car-battery with 11-15V DC
After turn-on, the BATTERY TYPE LED'S indicates which battery type is selected. If your desired battery type is
selected already, you can go straight to point „Start Charging process" below.
For maximum convienence, the Sigma Power Charger checks the number of cells once you connect a battery
pack and adjusts it's algortihms automatically. The number of cells the charger recognises is also indicated by the
blinking of the designated battery LED (1x = 1S, 2x = 2S, 3x = 3S).
Battery Type Selection:
 Press and hold the button BATTERY TYPE until one of the green BATTERY TYPE LED'S starts flashing, which
indicates you have entered battery type selection mode. The selected type is indicated by the blinking LED.
 By pressing the BATTERY TYPE button again, you can now hop through the three battery types (NiMH/NiCd,
LiPo, LiFe) and you can select the desired type by either pressing BATTERY TYPE button for 2sec or if you wait
longer then 3sec, the selected battery type will be permanently saved, the LED will turn ON all the time and
the charger automatically leaves battery type selection mode and that.
Caution: it is important that you use correct battery type for the battery you plan on charging, as charging a pack
in the wrong mode may result in under- or overcharging of your battery!
Note: The charging process won´t be started at this time and the battery type selection is only active if there is no
battery connected to the charger!
Select Charge Current:
 move to slide switch to the desired charge current (1A / 2A / 4A).
Note: depending on the battery you want to charge (refer to „Charging Recommendations").
Start Charging Process:
 press START/STOP button shortly
 the STATUS LED turns ON (red) and indicates that the charge process has started.
 the STATUS LED will remain red until battery has been fully charged.
Note: Charge process can be stopped anytime by pressing START/STOP button, then STATUS LED will turn off.
End of Charge:
 when battery is fully charged, the STATUS LED will flash for 15sec and the charger will beep to indicate that the
battery has been fully charged now.
 by pressing START/STOP button you can turn off the LED.
Charging Recommendations
Always follow the cell manufacturers charge-/usage-recommendations, never use batteries outside their specifi-
cations. As a safe „rule of thumb", charging your packs with 0.5C* is always a safe value!
* C=Nominal capacity of the battery.
E.g. with a nominal capacity of 4000mAh (4.0Ah), the battery can be charged with a max. current of 2.0A.:
3-Way Protection-System
The Sigma Power Charger is protected against faults and operator errors by the Multi-Protection-System. Faults/
Errors are indicated by the beeper and different LED flashing sequences. All faults/errors stop the charging process
to protect the charger and the battery. The errors are as following:
Failure
Input Voltage Error
Charger malfunction
No battery connected
Safety Timer exceeded (>3hrs charge time)
Battery Error
Press START/STOP button to stop LED's flashing and beeping, this will return the charger to stand-by mode.
The crossed-out wheeled bin means that within the European Union the product must be taken
