Tenergy's TN455 is an intelligent charger designed for AA and AAA NiMH/NiCd batteries. 

 

TN455 offers multiple operation modes based on your needs (charge, test, refresh, 

discharge/charge).  Its backlit LCD allows you to see the charging status in real time, 

including the charging current, battery voltage, measured capacity, as well as the elapsed 

time.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

 

 

1  Intended Use

 

 

The product is designed for use with NiMH or NiCd rechargeable batteries.  It provides 

four independent charging slots for AA / AAA size batteries.  This charger can also 

optimize and test the maximum capacity of your rechargeable batteries.  Each charging 

slot has its own display to show various information, such as charging current, battery 

voltage, charged capacity, and elapsed time. 

 

The  charging  current  can  be  selected  from  200  mA,  500  mA,  700  mA  and  1000  mA. 

Batteries  of  different  types (NiMH/NiCd)  and  sizes (AA/AAA)  with  different capacities 

can be charged  at  the  same  time.  This charger uses  the  minus  delta  voltage  (-

Δ

V) 

function to determine the charging status. When a battery is fully charged, the charger will 

switch to trickle charging automatically. Therefore the battery will be kept at its optimum 

capacity.  The  charger  also  has built-in  overheat  detection  to  protect  rechargeable 

batteries and charger itself from getting too hot during use. The charger can only be used 

with the original power supply included with this charger.  

 

Please  operate  and  store  this charger  in  dry,  indoor  environment  only.  This  product
