Plug charger cable into correct ports.

2. Connect Vehicle

Turn off the vehicle (switch should be inboard toward center of vehicle) and connect DSUB connector.

Turning off the vehicle is important so that charge termination is succesful. LiPo chargers work by charging in two modes, first constant current (CC) then constant voltage (CV). During CV, the current is monitored until it drops under a certain threshold at which point the charger terminates the charging process. If the verhicle is left on, this threshold current may not be reached and the charger will charge indefinitely.
