Note: To determine if this charger is suitable for your application, you must perform this calculation to determine the maximum amp rate the charger can supply. Divide the Watts of the charger by the Voltage of the battery pack. This will tell you the maximum amp rate the charger can deliver (Watts / Voltage = Amps). So using the Touch 680 AC as an example and a 6S LiPo battery pack, would be 80 Watts divided by 22.2 Volts, which equals 3.6 Amps. This means that the charger can supply a maximum of 3.6 amps to a 22.2 Volt 6S battery. This amp rate will gradually reduce as the battery voltage increases during the charge cycle.  

Important: 
1) DO NOT leave the battery in your model when charging 
2) DO NOT leave unattended when charging 
3) ALWAYS balance charge the battery 
4) ALWAYS use a LiPo charging bag 
5) YOU MUST use a Li-Poly specific charger to charge the pack (NiMH or NiCD only chargers WILL NOT WORK!) 
6) YOU MUST not over discharge the Li-Poly battery pack 
7) READ & UNDERSTAND the instructions carefully before operating this battery
