OpERATiNG iNSTRuCTiONS
this charger is controlled by an intelligent Microprocessor and designed to charge nickel Metal hydride and
nickel cadmium aa, aaa size rechargeable batteries. please note that the charger must not be used for
alkaline, zinc carbon, lithium or any kind of battery other than nickel Metal hydride or nickel cadmium.
charging current is 800ma for aa and 300ma for aaa. this is why charging times of less than 4 hours can be
achieved, depending on battery capacities.
Charger DesCription:
charging is controlled by a special intelligent Microprocessor, supplying optimum charging current to prolong
battery cycle life and accelerate charging; the unit can charge 2/4 aa or 2/4 aaa batteries at a time;
automatic charge current selection for size aa & aaa; Faulty cell detection; reverse-polarity protection; led
display for rapid charge / trickle charge / faulty cell detection.
safety features
-dv cut off function when battery is fully charged;
Maximum temperature cut off function;
safety timer cut off.
instruCtions for use
1. to connect the charger to the mains.
connect the mains adaptor output plug to the charger input socket. connect the mains adaptor ac input
plug to suitable ac mains.
1a. to use the charger in a vehicle.
connect the cigarette plug output plug to the charger input socket. connect the dc input plug
(cigarette lighter plug) into the vehicle cigarette lighter socket. [12volt negative earth
systems only]
2. selector switch and inserting batteries into the charger.
insert batteries into the charger as per the”+” “-“ indication. to charge 4 aa batteries, slide the battery
switch to the “4” position and put 4 batteries in the charger. to charge 2 batteries, slide the battery
switch to the “2” position and put 2 batteries in the left two channels. it is not possible to charge 1 or 3
batteries. please see Fig1.
3. charging and led indication the led “power” (red) on the charger is illuminated to indicate the charger
is on.
the led “charge/ready” is illuminated red to indicate batteries are fast charging.
the led “charge/ready” illuminates green to indicate batteries are now fully charged.
the led “charge/ready” flashes red to indicate a faulty cell.
note: it is normal that batteries will become hot during charging. if the battery temperature becomes too hot
during charging, charge current will be limited automatically to protect the batteries. in this case charging
times can be longer than under normal conditions. the charger will not supply charging current when in default
mode as described below:
