  • Page 3: Special Features

    SPECIAL FEATURES Optimized operating software The MultiPro™ charger features an automatic charging function that sets the operating current during the process of charging or discharging. This can prevent overcharging of lithium batteries which could lead to a battery fire or explosion. It will disconnect the circuit automatically and alarm the user once a malfunction is detected.
  • Page 4 SPECIAL FEATURES Maximum safety Delta-peak sensitivity: The automatic charge termination is based on the principle of delta-peak voltage detection. When the battery’s voltage exceeds the threshold, the process will be terminated automatically. Automatic charging current limit You can set the upper limit of the charging current when charging NiCd and NiMH batteries. This is useful for NiMH batteries of low impedance and capacity when using the ‘AUTO’...
