INPUT POWER

AC Input: For indoor use, this charger includes a built-in switching AC power supply that delivers power by connecting 
the AC power cord to a common 110V AC outlet.

DC Input: This charger can be powered by a portable 12V DC power source for use at the track. On the left side of the 
charger, connect the DC power cord’s alligator clips directly to the output terminals on the 12V DC power source. Always 
match polarities (red lead to red “+” terminal, black lead to black “-“ terminal). To utilize the charger’s 

absolute maximum

 

power capabilities the DC power source must be capable of delivering at least 4 amps while maintaining 12 volts DC. 

WARNING! Never accidentally short together the positive (+) and negative (-) input connections when 

connected to 12V DC power. Failure to do so could result in permanent damage to the power source and 
the charger.

This charger is rated for a maximum output power of 40 watts. Depending on certain conditions (e.g. if charge current is 
set to maximum, the maximum number of cells are connected to the output, and input voltage is low), the actual current 
delivered to the battery might be slightly less than the setting. This is normal.

The charger will be on at all times when connected to input power. Disconnect the charger from input power when not 
in use. 

CONTROL & CONNECTIONS

OUTPUT LEAD: The standard connector 
is compatible with most R/C car batteries. 
See the SPECIFICATIONS chart on
page 1 for a list of additional adapters for 
charging battery types with different 
connectors.

SETTING BUTTON: For selecting NiCd or 
NiMH battery type, and the charge current 
rate.

DATA BUTTON For selecting different 
data to be viewed on the LCD. 

START BUTTON: For starting charge. 
Can also be used to stop charge.

RADIO BATTERY JACK: A unique jack is located on the front 
edge of the charger, for charging of NiCd or NiMH 4 or 5 cell 
receiver batteries for nitro vehicles, or even 8 cell transmitter 
batteries! This jack is universal – compatible with Futaba-J, 
Airtronics-Z, Hitec, JR, and Spektrum receiver battery 
connectors, and BEC type connectors. 

For some transmitters, opening the battery compartment and disconnecting the battery’s lead will reveal if the battery’s 
own plug can be connected directly to this jack on the charger. Or, if you wish to connect the charger to a transmitter’s 
built-in charge jack, check with your local retailer for the appropriate charge adapter listed below:
