The four bay Multicharger has four slots that fully charge a main battery in four hours. The
charging slots work independently to control the charging of individual battery packs.
The last slot on the right also functions as a battery analyzer/charger. It resets and re-calibrates a
battery, then displays it’s resulting capacity. The process monitors changes in temperature,
current, and voltage. The slot senses when a battery pack is fully charged and automatically
switches to maintain the battery at full capacity indefinitely.
