Safety

Although they are safe enough to be used in everyday devices (phones, laptops. etc.) batteries have a high energy density and must be treated with care to ensure proper safe operation and a long lifecycle. When using the charger, be sure to follow proper procedures, and always read the battery manual before charging a new battery.

• Do not leave unattended while charging
• Do not exceed the battery maximum charge or discharge rate
• Do not cover cooling fans or use on a soft surface

Charging

By default, the H6 PRO Lithium Battery Charger only supports 4S (14.8 V) and 6S* (22.2 V) lithium-ion and lithium polymer batteries of AT LEAST 10,000 mAh in capacity. DO NOT use this charger with batteries of other chemistries, voltages, or capacities smaller than recommended with the default firmware. The fixed 10 A charge current is ideal for batteries such as our Lithium-ion Battery (14.8V, 15.6Ah) or other 4S or 6S lithium batteries with capacities of 10,000 mAh or more.

1. Connect the AC (100–240 V) power cord to the AC Power In port and wait for bootup to complete.
2. Connect the XT60 to XT90 battery cable adapter and balance lead extension cable into the Battery Port and Balance Port on the side of the charger.
DO NOT plug the battery cable into the DC Power In port. Connecting the battery to this port while the charger is connected to AC power will damage the charger and the battery and may lead to fire, property damage, or injury.
3. Connect the XT90 cable and balance cable from the battery to the XT90 cable adapter and balance lead extension cable.

4. Press the select key (circle) and use the arrow touch keys to select “Cell count”. Choose the appropriate cell count for the battery you are charging (4S 14.8 V or 6S 22.2 V).
5. Use the arrow keys to select “Select task” and choose either “Charge” or “Storage”.
• “Charge” will fully charge the battery to 4.20 volts per cell (16.8 V for 4S or 25.2 V for 6S) for immediate use.
• “Storage” will charge or discharge the battery to 3.80 volts per cell, ideal for storage and transport.
• Storage charging the battery is strongly recommended at any time the battery will be stored and not used for more than a day (lithium-ion batteries) or for several hours (lithium polymer batteries). This will ensure the longest possible battery cycle life.
6. Select “Start Task” and wait for task to complete. The select button can be pressed at any point to cancel the present operation.
7. The Charger will automatically stop and beep upon task completion.

Make sure to keep the battery and charger away from flammable materials and monitor the battery as it charges, discontinue charging if it becomes hot or changes in appearance.

Refer to the HOTA H6 PRO Full Manual, available for download in the technical details above, for complete technical specifications, instructions, and details about other charger functions if using unlocked firmware.
