Quick Guide from the Manual

The SkyRC PC1500 is a dual-channel intelligent charger designed for 12S/14S LiPo and 12S LiHV batteries. It features a maximum output power of 1500W and supports CAN communication. Before use, ensure the AC power is well-grounded and the charger is placed on a heat-resistant, non-inflammable surface.

Operation Procedure

1. Power On: Connect AC power. The charger will beep once, and the fan will start for a self-check.
2. Select Language: For initial use, short-press the MODE button to select the language, then press START to confirm. For routine use, long-press the MODE button for 10 seconds to enter the language selection menu.
3. Select Battery Type: Press and hold both the MODE and START buttons simultaneously for three seconds to toggle between LiPo and LiHV.
4. Connect Battery: Connect the battery to the charging channel. The charger will automatically detect the cell count.
5. Select Charge Mode: Choose between Fast Charge, Charge, or Storage. Long-press the START button for three seconds to begin the process.

Battery Maintenance

To extend battery life, use the STORAGE mode if the battery will not be used for a long time. The charger will automatically charge or discharge the battery to 3.8V±0.05V per cell. Select the STORAGE mode and long-press the START button for three seconds to initiate maintenance.
