| Astro Flight Upgrade Chip to 123 Charger
This Software chip reprograms the model 109/109D and newer model 110 Deluxe Chargers to make them into a A123 lithium chargers. Now your Astro charger (previously mentioned models only!) is ready for A123 packs. Remember, after upgrade use it only for Lithium Ferrite Phosphate packs (A123 type chemistry). No other type cells should be connected to it.
Here is how:
The #555 "A123 Version 1.31" upgrade micro chip is our latest software version (releases March 2008)and is easy to install. Simply plug into socket on the circuit board for instant upgrade of your charger. Remove the four screws in the chargers face plate. Flip the charger over into the gray tub. Use needle nose pliers to carefully remove (wiggle upwards) the old chip.You may use a Popsicle stick to guide in the feet and press gently. The small notch on the chip should face the middle of the charger, not the edge of the charger. Inserting backwards causes no harm except you will see black squares on the display. Reinstall faceplate and screws. That's it, your done!
