GPMM3160   ElectriFly Equinox LiPo Cell Balancer 1-5 Series
TECH NOTES
           This is the Great Planes ElectriFly Equinox LiPo Balancer.
          For LiPo (Lithium Polymer) battery packs with 2 to 5 cells,
                 assembled IN SERIES and wired for balancing.
             Not Compatible with LiPos having a 2-pin charge lead.
FEATURES: Regulates voltages of all cells in a Lithium Polymer pack to very
            tight tolerances during Charge and Discharge functions and provides
            a safe Charging and Discharging platform which is critical when
            handling LiPo batteries
          Eight status LEDs and pushbutton control
          Gold plated banana plugs on input for easy connection to charger/
            discharger
          Automatically checks for poor quality cells
          Maximum current handling capacity is 3 amps (current of up to 6 amps
            maximum is possible with the use of high-power adapters available
            separately-GPMM3163)
          Unlike some balancers, Equinox has two separate functions;
         Quick-Balance Mode: applies a small discharge current to gently
          balance voltages of all cells in a LiPo pack
          Interface Mode: allows the Equinox to be used with a separate
          charger or discharger whereby it will monitor and control
          how each cell in the LiPo pack is charged or discharged
         Balanced packs typically charge to the fullest possible safe
          voltage, meaning more power to the motor system. Also, Balanced packs
          generally last longer as no individual cell becomes overcharged.
         This is one reason why LiPos fail.
INCLUDES: Great Planes ElectriFly Equinox LiPo Balancer with 2S and 3S battery
            adapters, Interface Mode and Connection Flowchart and instruction
            manual
REQUIRES: LiPo batteries with a compatible balance connector. CANNOT BE USED
          WITH LIPOS NOT WIRED FOR BALANCING.
SPECS:   Compatible Input Devices: LiPo chargers and dischargers ONLY 2S and 3S
             (operation based on nominal cell voltage of 3.7V per cell)
          Cell Balancing Range: 2-series to 5-series LiPo packs (7.4-18.5V)
          Max. Charge Current: 3A (over 3A requires special harness)
          Discharge Termination: Auto-cut based on individual cell voltages
            2.75V per cell in Quick-Balance Mode
            3.0V per cell in Interface Mode (with separate discharger)
          Quick-Balance Mode Discharge Current: 120mA per cell
          Overload Protection: 7.5A auto (spade) fuse
          Dimensions: 3.23 x 1.57 x 0.59 oz. (82 x 40 x 15mm)
          Weight: 1.55 oz. (43.8g)
