| Features |
- Universal Fast Smart Charger (cigarette Male plug) is designed for charging any NiMH / NiCd Battery Pack from 9.6V - 18V, for 8 to 15 cells pack.
- LED flashing red-green-red before charging (no battery connection) in order to test the IC of the charger if ready to use.
- It is a very smart charger. Just plug it in and wait for the battery to get fully charged. Red LED indicates charging and Green LED means fully charged
- Short circuit protection: No output voltage from the charger if the battery is not connected.
- 120-240V AC input (USA plug) for worldwide use.
- Buit in temperature sensor to double ensure the battery pack from overcharged
- Extra battery temperature sensor wire included for your battery which do not have thermostat build in the battery. You need to DIY to add wire on you battery if necessary.
- First smart charger that get UL safety approved on the market
|
| Specs & Functions |
- Auto detect battery pack voltage and set up proper charging voltage
- Cut-off power automatically by negative delta V IC when battery pack is fully charge.
- Built in IC protecting battery from over current, short circuit & reverse polarity.
- One temperature sensor outlet ( Female BEC connector) is installed with the charger to double protecting battery from overcharged.
- You must use temperature sensor to charge 12V or higher NiMH battery pack, except water bottle nimh batteries.
- For <12V battery pack, you may recharge battery without sensor. However, putting a temperature sensor on the battery pack is always a good idea
|
| Charging Current |
Two current levels: 0.9A and 1.8A selectable by a switch for both low (< 2800mAh) and high capacity battery pack (> 2800mAh)
- For battery pack between 900mAh and 2800 mAh, please use the low level switch -- charging rate: 0.9A
- For battery pack over 2800 mAh, please use the high level switch -- charging rate: 1.8A
|
| Charging time |
The smart charger will cut-off power automatically when battery is full. However, Charging time can be estimated as the follow:
Time ( Hrs ) = Battery capacity (Ah) / Charging current ( 0.9A or 1.8A ) |
| Dimension (LxWxH) |
140mm x 64mm x 38mm (5.5" X 2.5" X 1.5") |
| Weight |
272g (0.6 lb) |
| Accesories included |
One temperature sensor ( 70oc thermister ) is included for battery pack which don't have thermostat protection. It must be connect between battery charger and the battery pack before charging to protect battery from overcharging. It will cut-off power if battery temperature is over 70 oC. |

How to use Temperature sensor
(1) attach temperature sensor to battery pack inside firmly --- you can use electronic tape or glue to attach the sensor to one of battery's surface
(2) Plug (red, BEC ) connector into the temperature socket into the charger |

| Precautions |
- Please don't use the charger to charge battery pack with capacity less than 900 mAh
- If your battery pack is 12V or more, please always use temperature sensor (included) to double ensure power cut-off. The temperature sensor shall be attached to battery pack firmly by electric tape or glue (see above to see how)
- If you have question on what current setting to use, please check the battery specification to find out what is the maximum charging current before selecting the charging current.
- The charger is designed for indoor use only.
- The charger should be horizontally positioned and work in well ventilated condition, avoid moisture and keep it away from inflammable explosive goods.
- Ambient temperature shall not be more than 40 degree C when using the charger
- Remove the AC power before connect or disconnect the charger with batteries.
