Peak Charger 1 offers two fixed charge rates selectable by switch:
a minimum 3.5A peak charge current for 6 cell (7.2V) or 7 cell
(8.4V) sub-C size battery packs, and a 1A peak charge for 8 cell
(9.6V) transmitter batteries
•
Peak Charger 2 offers a minimum 3.5A peak charge current for 6
cell (7.2V) or 7 cell (8.4V) sub-C size battery packs
•
100mA trickle charge rates for 6 and 7 cell packs, 50mA trickle for
8 cell Tx packs
•
Two multi-function, high intensity LEDs for easy set-up
•
Fused overload, thermal, and reverse polarity protection
•
Charge only nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal hydride rechargeable
batteries. Damage may occur from other types of batteries.
•
Do not use automotive type battery chargers to power the charger.
•
Do not allow water, moisture or foreign objects into the charger.
•
Do not cover the air intake holes on the charger. This will cause
the charger to overheat.
•
Do not charge batteries containing fewer than 6 cells.
•
Do not leave the charger unattended while charging. Disconnect
the battery and remove input power from charger immediately
if the charger becomes hot. Allow the charger or battery to cool
down before reconnecting.
•
Keep out of reach of children.
The IntelliPeak Twin Pulse Charger is
capable of charging both nickel-cadmium
(NiCd) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH)
battery chemistries, as identified by this
symbol. Look exclusively for battery chargers with this symbol to
handle both NiCd and NiMH charging needs.
While similar in appearance to sub-C NiCd batteries, NiMH batteries
have a different internal chemistry and require a different charging
method. It is important not to allow NiMH batteries to overheat
while being charged. Heat can adversely affect the performance of
NiMH batteries. If overheating is observed, disconnect the battery
from the charger immediately. Do not deep cycle NiMH batteries.
Permanent damage could result. Store NiMH packs with some
voltage remaining on the cells. Use a NiMH battery pack no more
than three cycles per day, with a two to three hour break in-between
for cooling. More frequent use is likely to overheat the pack.
To use a 12V DC battery for input power, attach the red alligator clip
to the positive (+) terminal on the battery, and the black alligator clip
to the negative (-) terminal. It's best to use a clean DC power source
whose output is filtered to remove unwanted electrical noise. To
achieve the maximum potential of the Twin charger, the source
battery must be capable of delivering at least 7 amps of current while
maintaining 12V DC.
If using 110V AC for input power, connect the black AC plug to a
regular 110V wall outlet. Do not connect the DC input leads to any
power source simultaneously with AC input, as permanent damage
to your charger may result.
Anytime AC or DC power is applied to the input and no load battery
is present on either output, both LEDs will flash at a slow rate. This is
simply to confirm that supply power is present on the input. It is not
recommended to leave the IntelliPeak Twin connected to any input
power for an indefinite period when loads are not present on the
output. This will unnecessarily shorten the lifespan of the charger.
The IntelliPeak Twin charger incorporates a miniature fan to help
keep all internal components cool during operation. This will help
extend the service life of the charger, as well as allow the charger to
function more efficiently. The fan will turn on anytime a load is present
on the charger's output.
The IntelliPeak Twin Pulse Charger is fuse protected from current
overload. Replace the glass fuse only with one of the same rating
(250V/3A) and size (5x20mm). CAUTION: Disconnect the charger
from the AC power source and the load battery from the charger
before replacing the fuse.
The built-in output leads have standard connectors on the end. This
is for direct connection to common 6 and 7 cell R/C sub-C battery
packs. An adapter cord is included for charging Futaba
®
transmitter
batteries with the Twin charger. This adapter is designed to connect
directly to Futaba transmitter charge jacks and ONLY the output of
Peak Charger 1 on the LEFT side of the charger.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Congratulations on your purchase of the IntelliPeak Twin Pulse Charger by DuraTrax! A
breed apart from other chargers, it offers the ability to peak charge TWO battery packs at
once. The Twin Pulse Charger is the ultimate in convenience for models which operate from
two batteries simultaneously, or modelers who use multiple packs on a regular basis.
