Basic Features
The product is intended to charge and discharge 9V NiCd, NiMH or Li-ion rechargeable
batteries.
It provides four independent charging slots for rechargeable batteries. The charger can also
optimize and test the maximum capacity of the rechargeable batteries.
The charger can charge batteries of different sizes, types, and capacities at the same time.
The charger integrates the voltage change over time, referred to as the “minus delta voltage
(-ΔV)”, and automatically terminates charging.
For NiCd and NiMH batteries, when the battery is fully charged, the charger will
automatically continue to provide a trickle charge. Trickle charging prevents the
rechargeable batteries from being overcharged, and compensates for self-discharging of the
batteries.
For LiIon batteries, only use protected batteries. Protected Li-Ion batteries will automatically
stop charging when the maximum voltage is reached. If you are uncertain, contact the
manufacturer.
The charger includes over-temperature protection, and will shut off the current flow to protect
the rechargeable batteries and charger itself from overheating.
