© 2020 Terraview 360, Inc. 3 Part Number: TSN0001, Rev A 1. Introduction The Range Pro X8 RP6S24KHDA is a dual 6S2P, 24,000 mAh, high density, battery pack consisting of two independent 6S2P Lithium Ion Polymer battery packs installed in a single battery cage. The battery packs are impedance matched at the factory, placed in a common cage, and wired independently to a single connector. On the aircraft the unit provides a blind mating power solution with easy insertion and extraction from the system using a dovetail rail system and latching mechanism. The power pins from both battery packs, though housed in the same connector, are independently routed to the aircraft power distribution board. For charging, power and balance port connectors are separately wired for each battery pack and broken out for connection to a charger using a custom cable. To connect the RP6S24KHDA to the SKYRC Ultimate Duo 400W (D400) Balance Charger, use the RPBCCA400-12 twelve-inch cable that includes a battery mating connector on one end and two sets of power and balance ports on the other. Custom cable lengths are available upon request. This document provides instructions on how to customize the D400 charger for use with the RP6S24KHDA battery as well as some common troubleshooting steps for addressing issues that may arise when the unit is not set up correctly. For additional details on how to use the D400, refer to the Ultimate Duo Instruction Manual provided with the charger.

Power on the Ultimate Duo 400W Charger (D400). b. Press the STATUS “+” or “–“ button for the channel until the display screen reads: BATT/PROGRAM SYSTEM SETTING-> c. Press ENTER “” to review the system settings. d. To scroll from one parameter to another, use the STATUS “+” or “–“ buttons. e. To change the value of a parameter enter into editing mode by pressing ENTER “”. f. In editing mode, the value of the selected parameter will blink slowly. Press the STATUS “+” or “–“ button to adjust the parameter value. When the value is set correctly exit the editing mode by pressing the Enter “” button. Some screens contain two parameters. In this case, pressing the Enter “” button will close editing for the first parameter and open editing for the second parameter. Pressing Enter “” a second time will close editing on the second parameter.

When all system settings for the channel have been properly set and verified, press the BATT/PROG “” button to return to the main menu. h. If not already completed, repeat steps 2.b through 2.g for the other charging channel. *In most cases Synchronization can be set to ON but it is important to note that in rare cases Synchronization may prevent one side or another from charging properly if there is a significant mismatch between battery states. Also note that while Synchronization will ensure the same program is being used by both sides of the charger, in the case of custom Battery Memory programs it does not ensure that the programs for each channel are identical. Battery Memory programs must be independently set on each side of the charger.
