10. e Please charge your LiPoRxllinstantly after purchase Depending on the storage duration of the LiPoRxil and leakage currents of the lithium cells and or of the electronics the cells could be deeply discharged In reality this is very unlikely because the electronics of the LiPoRxil not in the predecessor LiPoRx is completely separated from the lithium battery about 12 hours after switching it OFF e Please check the charge state of your LiPoRxil every 3 months by switching it briefly ON and OFF At the latest you have to re charge your LiPoRxIlwhen the LED displays flashes violett or red e If the battery nevertheless is deep discharged then the LiPoRxllcan be recharged at a very low current about 1 10 C Select 250 mA 0 25 A charge current Use charge output 1 or 2 at the isl 6 at the nextGen eration select additional diode ON and start charging with Use output 3 at the isl 8 e Schulze chargers isl 6 is 8 nextGeneration show a warning message e g wrong cell count when a deep discharged battery is connected The warning message disappears when the charger measures more than 6 volts charge voltage If the charger should switch off before the voltage reaches 6 volt then disconnect the LiPoRxIl and connect it a second time Pay attention to the charge voltage that it really rises e When the LiPoRxil reaches a voltage at which the micro processor in the LiPoRxllis able to function again about 6 volts it will switc
