OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This section explains how to power the charger, load a battery onto the
charger, and charge it.
Adjusting Position of Contacts for Charging
• Before battery can be inserted into the charging bay and charged,
the contact terminals of the charger must be properly adjusted
accommodate your battery.
• Adjust horizontal position for contacts by sliding the Left and Right
Contact Adjusters until they are properly aligned with your battery’s
positive and negative terminals.
• Depending on the location of your battery’s charging terminals you
may need to adjust the vertical position of the charger contacts. You
can do this by turning the adjusting dial until the proper height is
achieved.
• Note: The LI5000 has built in reverse polarity detection software.
This ensures full and safe charging for each and every charge.
Should you by chance insert the battery in reverse polarity (the
positive contact is on the negative side of the battery, and vice versa),
the unit will detect and automatically adjust itself to ensure a full and
safe charge.

Adjusting Sliding Cover
• For small or standard size batteries, simply pull back the Sliding
cover.
• For larger-sized batteries, press and hold down on the release
button to move the Sliding Cover forwards or backwards.
Mounting a Battery pack
• Pull back the Sliding Cover.
• Place in the battery until completely inserted into the Charging Bay
and battery terminals are aligned with charger contacts.
• For larger or longer batteries, press and hold down on the release
button to extend the Sliding Cover before inserting the battery.
• When battery is properly mounted and contact is made, the LCD
display will indicate charging status, and after approximately 5
seconds, the LCD display will detect battery type and begin the
charging cycle.
* Some batteries can be
(or may need to be)
positioned vertically.

Charging of AA/AAA Rechargeable Batteries
• You can also charge one or two AA/AAA size NiCd/NiMH
rechargeable batteries.
• Move the Left/Right Contact Adjusters and Adjusting Dial to the
proper horizontal and vertical position.
One cell charging Two cell charging
• Pull back the sliding cover and insert one or two AA/AAA sized
batteries into the Charging Bay where indicated on the charging
bay floor.
• Adjust the Sliding Cover until batteries are fully inserted into the
Charging Bay.

Charging of a USB Device
• You can charge and power up USB devices through the 1 amp
USB output port. This works for devices such as MP3 players,
mobile phones and portable gaming devices (USB cable not
included).
• Connect the USB device to the USB output port on the charger.
USB port
Output: 5V/ 1A
max.
• USB Active display should appear when cable is connected to
USB output port.
• Charging indicator on device will indicate charging status.
• The LI5000 has the ability to charge a battery in the charging tray
(Li-ion, NiCd, NiMh) as well as simultaneously charging or
powering up a USB device. The USB device will continue to be
charged at a 1 amp output, however, the battery pack charging
power will be reduced to a 450 mA charging current.
ATTENTION: DO NOT mix cell size or type in the charging
bays. Cells inserted into the charging bays must be same
size, capacity, and type (i.e. NiCd or NiMH). The charger
may malfunction with mixed cell types or capacities in the
charging bays, and may damage the cells permanently.
DO NOT CHARGE ALKALINE BATTERY CELLS IN THIS
CHARGER.
