3.2 BattAir Plugin Integration (Optional)

The M9 charger is compatible with ISDT BattAir Plugins, which convert standard LiPo batteries into "smart" batteries. These plugins store battery data and communicate wirelessly with a smartphone app and the charger, simplifying the charging process.

1. Install the BattAir App: Download the "BattAir" app from your smartphone's app store (Google Play Store for Android, Apple App Store for iOS).
2. Connect BattAir Plugin: Plug the BattAir Plugin into your battery's balance lead. Ensure the negative pin of the balance lead aligns with the negative pin on the BattAir Plugin for proper data transmission. The plugin will power on and indicate its status.
3. Initialize Battery in App: Open the BattAir app. The app will detect the "Unknown Battery" connected via the plugin. Select it to begin initialization.
4. Enter Battery Information: Input the battery's chemistry (e.g., LiPo 4.20V), cell count (e.g., 6S), charge rate (e.g., 1C), discharge rate (e.g., 30C), and capacity (e.g., 5200mAh). You can also add a manufacturer name and an optional password.
5. Enregistrer les paramètres : Press the "Save" button in the app and then press the physical button on the BattAir Plugin to save the settings to the plugin. This data will then be automatically recognized by the M9 charger when the battery is connected.
