GENERAL OPERATION
OUTPUT BATTERY CONNECTIONS
The Emperor L702B Pro has two sets of outputs on the front of the charger, channel
1 is on the left and channel 2 on the right. Each channel has two 4mm banana
sockets, a 7 cell balance port and a temperature sensor input.
You will need an appropriate charge lead to suit the specific connector on your
battery. Connect this charge lead to the 4mm output sockets on the charger channel
you want to use, with the positive (+) lead connected to the red socket and the
negative (-) lead to the black socket.
Only connect the battery to the charge lead AFTER the charge lead has
been connected to the charger, as the connectors on the charge lead could
touch together and cause the battery to short circuit.
When charging a Lithium pack, make sure that the balance lead is connected to the
charger. The charger has a ‘JST-EH’ type balance port, but also comes with balance
adaptor boards for JST-XH and Flight Power/Thunder Power. To use an adaptor
board, connect the supplied balance adaptor board lead to the charger and then
connect the board that works with your battery balance connector. Optional adaptor
boards for Polyquest & 4/2mm plug car packs are also available.
If the main battery power leads ONLY are connected to the output banana sockets,
without connecting the balancing connector to the balancing port on the charger, the
charger will charge or discharge the connected Lithium pack without balancing it.
We always recommend balancing a Lithium pack, because some cells may
retain more capacity than others, so over time the pack can become
unbalanced. If an unbalanced pack is then used, some of the cells will
exceed their maximum voltage when charged and others their minimum
voltage when discharged, which causes damage to the cells. When a
Lithium cell is overcharged, it can cause damage and in extreme cases can
cause a fire.

TURNING ON & SETTING THE INPUT POWER
The input power leads on the Emperor are supplied with 4mm
gold banana type connectors (with optional crocodile clips)
that should be connected directly to a suitable 11-28V DC
power source, ensuring that the black connector is connected
to the negative (–) and the red to the positive (+).
Power
On
When the charger is initially connected to a power source, it
will ask you to confirm the maximum input power available
from the power source and allow you to adjust the percentage
of this power available to each output on the charger. This
allows the Emperor L702B Pro to deliver the highest available
power to each of the charger outputs (channels), without
overloading the power source.

‘CHG.’ – CHARGE
This line shows the charge current and the maximum cell voltage which can be edited
by press the ‘Enter’ button to highlight the parameter, then the ‘Inc’ and ‘Dec’
buttons to edit the value. The default charge current for a Lithium battery is set to
1C (1 x capacity), however this can be adjusted from 0.1 to 20 Amps.
N.B. For safety the charge current is limited to the capacity x charge rate (see
Maximum Charge Rate setting). If you want to increase the charge current above 2C,
you must first increase the maximum charge rate before you can increase the charge
current.
Normally, the maximum cell voltage should be left at the default value (LiPo=4.2V,
LiIo=4.1V & LiFe=3.7V), but in very cold weather a Lithium Polymer pack can be
overcharged at 4.2V, so reducing the maximum charge voltage to 4.1V can increase
the life of your pack.
Press the ‘Enter’ button for 2 seconds on this line to start the charge.
‘DCHG.’ - DISCHARGE
This shows the discharge current and the cut-off voltage per cell. Pressing the ‘Enter’
button for 2 seconds with this line selected will start the discharge.
STORE MODE START
It is recommended that Lithium batteries are not left in a fully charged or discharged
state for long periods of time, especially when stored in a cold environment.
7
Therefore, store mode will charge or discharge your pack to around a 60% charged
state to help extend the life of your packs.
CUT.TEMPER. - CUT-OFF TEMPERATURE
When used with the optional temperature sensor, a safety cut-off temperature can
be set, so that charging or discharging is terminated automatically if the temperature
sensor detects the battery temperature rising above the selected value.
‘MAX. CAPACITY’ – MAXIMUM CAPACITY
The maximum capacity setting is used to terminate a charge if the charger exceeds
the selected percentage of the battery capacity.
SAFETY TIMER
The safety timer can be used to terminate a charge if it is not completed within the
selected time period.
‘CHARGE RATE’ – MAXIMUM CHARGE RATE
The charge rate allows you to set the maximum charge rate for the pack being
charged. The default is 2C, but some newer packs can allow up to 5C (5 x capacity),
so increasing this value allows the user to select a higher charge current in the charge
parameters.
TCS CAPACITY
TCS (Terminal Capacity Selection) allows the user to select a capacity at which the
charger will beep or stop charging.
Lithium batteries are charged using a constant current then constant voltage (CC-CV),
so when the cells reach their maximum voltage, the charge current is slowly reduced
until the charge is complete. Because the charge current is being reduced, the last
10-30% of the charge takes proportionally longer than the first part.
Therefore, the TCS capacity can be set to warn the user when the selected capacity is
reached, which can be useful if the user does not require a full charge in the battery,
so it can be used sooner.
‘TCS END ACT’ – TCS END ACTION
When the selected TCS capacity is reached, the charger can be set to continue the
charge and warn the user that the TCS capacity has been reached or the charger can
stop the charge.

‘CHG.’ – CHARGE
This line shows the charge current and the delta-peak cut-off voltage. These values
can be edited by pressing the ‘Enter’ button to highlight the parameter, then the ‘Inc’
and ‘Dec’ buttons to edit the value.
When charging NiCd and NiMH batteries, most chargers detect when the pack is fully
charged by using a method called delta-peak. This monitors the voltage of the pack
which increases as the pack becomes charged. When the pack is fully charged the
pack starts to get warm and the voltage then starts to drop. The delta-peak cut-off
voltage is the voltage drop (per cell) that is detected before the charger will stop the
charge. The default delta-peak voltage setting for NiMH packs is 5mV/cell and for
NiCd is 8mV/cell.
To start the charge function, press the ‘Enter’ button for 2 seconds with this line
selected. The screen will then move to the charge type screen (see page 12).
n.b. The selected charge currents will not be used if ‘Automatic’ charge type is
selected.
‘DCHG.’ - DISCHARGE
The discharge line shows the discharge current and the discharge cut-off voltage (per
cell). The default cut-off voltage for NiCd/NiMH cells is 0.8V/cell.
Pressing the ‘Enter’ button for 2 seconds with this line selected will move to the
discharge type selection screen.
n.b. The selected discharge current will not be used if ‘Automatic’ discharge type is
selected.
9
CYCLE
The cycle mode allows the user to both charge and discharge a battery a number of
times, in order to bring it back to peak performance.
Dependant on the final charge state required, you have the options to discharge then
charge (D>C) or charge then discharge (C>D) the pack. In addition, the number of
cycles and the delay between charging or discharging can be set.
n.b. When cycling a battery, the charger will use Automatic charge and discharge
currents.
To start the Cycling you pack, hold the ‘Enter’ button down for 2 seconds.
‘MAX. CAPACITY’ – MAXIMUM CAPACITY
The maximum capacity setting is used to terminate a charge if the charger exceeds
the selected percentage of the battery capacity.
‘PEAK DELAY’ – START PEAK DELAY
When charging a NiCd or NiMH type pack using delta-peak cut-off, the charger is
looking for the pack voltage to peak and then drop off. However, some packs can
give false peaks soon after the charge is commenced. Therefore, the start peak delay
function overrides the peak detection for a selected number of minutes to stop any
false peaks being detected. The default setting is 3 minutes.
‘TRI. CURRENT’ - TRICKLE CHARGE CURRENT
With NiCd and NiMH type batteries, it is recommended that the pack is trickle
charged after the main charge has completed, so that the battery is kept fully
charged and is ready to be used. Therefore, we suggest setting the trickle charge
current to around 10% of the pack capacity.
SAFETY TIMER
The safety timer is used to terminate a charge if it is not completed within the
selected time.

CHARGE
After selecting charge for a NiCd or NiMH pack, you are given the option to select
four different charge types. These are:-
This is a fully automatic charge that will ignore the selected charge parameters. The
Automatic
charger will monitor the battery by stopping the charge for a few seconds every minute
and then automatically adjust the charge current to make sure the best charge current
is delivered to your pack.
The charger will charge the pack at the selected charge current, but will stop charging
for five seconds every minute. This allows for better peak detection.
Normal
The selected current is maintained throughout the charge.
Linear
Reflex (sometimes know as ‘Burp’ or ‘reverse pulse’) charging is where the charger
Re-Flex
applies a reverse charge of 4 times the charge current for 4/1000 of every second.
Reflex charging is believed to help remove oxidizing gas bubbles from the cell plates in
the battery, allowing it to charge more efficiently. Reflex charging is not always

The Emperor L702B Pro has a number of error and warning messages that are
designed to advise the user of any problems.
When applicable, pressing the ‘Esc’ button clears the message.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• DO NOT attempt to charge incompatible types of rechargeable batteries. This
charger is designed to only charge and discharge Nickel-Cadmium, Nickel-Metal
Hydride, Lithium-Ion, Lithium-Polymer, LiFePO4 and Lead-Acid batteries.
• Make sure you place the charger on a firm level surface for charging.
• DO NOT attempt to charge batteries at excessive fast charge currents. Check with
your battery manufacturer for the maximum charge rate applicable to your battery.
• DO NOT use automotive type battery chargers to power the charger.
• DO NOT leave the charger unattended while charging. Disconnect the battery and
remove input power from charger immediately if the charger becomes hot. Allow the
charger or battery to cool down before reconnecting.
• DO NOT allow water, moisture or foreign objects into the charger.
• DO NOT place the battery or charger on or near a flammable object while in use.
Keep away from carpets, cluttered workbenches, etc.
• DO NOT cover the air intake holes on the charger as this could cause the charger to
overheat.
• Connect the charge lead to the charger BEFORE connecting to the battery.
• DO NOT disassemble the charger.
• This unit is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they
have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can
use it safely.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
charger.
• DO NOT attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
15
• Lead-Acid batteries must be placed in a well ventilated area when charging.
• DO NOT attempt to charge whilst the input 12 volt battery is being charged, as the
voltage supplied to the charger may be too high.
LITHIUM ION/POLYMER BATTERY - SAFETY WARNINGS
Ensure that the charger and battery are placed on a non-flammable surface whilst
charging.
NEVER charge a Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe battery inside a vehicle whatever the
circumstances.
ALWAYS ensure that the charger is correctly set for the battery being charged,
checking both voltage and capacity. Be particularly careful if using a series/parallel
battery pack, or if using packs of different specifications with the same charger.
NEVER charge at a rate higher than that recommended by the cell manufacturer, this
can be very dangerous.
DO NOT leave Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe batteries unattended whilst they are
charging. Monitoring the batteries during charging is very important.
ALWAYS monitor the temperature of the battery being charged every few minutes. If
the battery becomes hot to the touch, disconnect it from the charger immediately
and allow to cool. DO NOT recommence charging until the battery and charger have
been checked for compatibility and the charger settings have been confirmed as
being correct.
In the unlikely event of the Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe battery catching fire DO NOT use
water to attempt to put the fire out, instead use sand or a fire extinguisher designed
for electrical fires.
When used correctly, Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe battery packs are as safe as any other
type of rechargeable battery pack. However they do require different charge regimes
to the longer established Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride technologies and
have the potential of catching fire if severely mistreated.
If Lithium Polymer battery packs are short-circuited or severely over-charged
elemental Lithium may be deposited internally, and if the battery pouch is damaged
this can escape from inside the battery. If this occurs a fire may be caused, as
elemental Lithium is highly reactive when exposed to water or moisture, producing
flammable hydrogen gas and corrosive fumes. Elemental Lithium is not produced
16
unless the battery pack is severely mistreated, so in normal usage there is no
likelihood of explosion or fire.
Lithium Ion/Polymer battery packs must NEVER be discharged below 3 volts per cell
(Li-Fe 2.0V) as this will result in damage to the cells. If the voltage is allowed to drop
below 3 volts per cell the battery voltage may seem to recover following a charge,
but the battery may not then give its full nominal capacity and a reduction in
performance is likely – allowing the voltage to drop below 3 volts per cell will
invalidate all warranty claims.
NEVER charge Lithium Polymer battery packs at greater than 4.2V per cell, Lithium
Ion at 4.1V volts per cell or LiFe at greater than 3.7V per cell as this will cause
irreversible damage to the cells and will invalidate all warranty claims.
NEVER charge Lithium battery packs above their maximum charge rate. This can
damage the pack and can be dangerous. Generally, Lithium Polymer packs should not
be charged above 2C (2 x Capacity). However, some newer packs do allow charging at
up to 5C, but charging at these higher rates will reduce the life of the pack.
e.g Pack of 2500mAh capacity : 2C = 5000mAh = 5A max charge current.
DO NOT use discharge rates in excess of those specified with the battery pack as this
will result in a significant drop in voltage under load and will dramatically reduce the
number of charge/discharge cycles the battery pack will give.
If disposing of Lithium battery packs ensure that the pack is fully discharged by using
a light bulb, electric motor or similar to completely discharge the pack.
DO NOT allow any Lithium battery pack to short-circuit as this is likely to
result in a minor explosion and consequent fire.
BEFORE charging any Lithium battery packs they should be closely inspected for any
damage, such as punctures in the sleeving or if the battery has swollen or expanded
in size. If any such damage is detected DO NOT charge, even if the battery otherwise
appears to be brand new.
Before commencing charging ALWAYS double check the settings on the charger to
ensure it is set correctly for the battery pack to be charged. Using the wrong settings
is likely to result in damage to the battery pack being charged and could result in the
battery catching fire.
