FEATURES

Four independent slots
There are four independent charger-analyzers for AA and AAA NiMH/NiCd batteries.
Larger LCD display with backlit for easy reading.
Digitally display various modes during operation. Also the charging current (in mA),
accumulated charging capacity (in mAh), the voltage (in Volt) and time elapsed (in hh:mm)
Seven buttons for easy programming and operation
Four Slot Number Buttons (SNB) to display individual slot operation data during the various
operation mode, and other three buttons for programming and operation.
Five modes of operation: Charge, Refresh & Analyze, Break-In, Discharge and Cycle.
Turbo fast charging - 60 minutes to charge up 2600 mAh battery
Charging current from 200mA to 2600mA.
Discharging current from 100mA to 1000mA.
Smart phone control-support both APPLE iPhone and Android smart phone
Negative delta peak value adjustment via smart phone
Battery internal resistance and voltage graphic can be displayed via smart phone
USB ports, 5V 2.1A for charging iPad, smart phone, MP3 and digital camera
Smart cooling fan
Worldwide voltage AC adaptor (12V / 2.5A)
Damaged battery detection: To ensure safety, the charger performs an "impedance check" at the
beginning of the program. If the NiMH batteries are totally damaged (no voltage), there will be
no display in the screen. If the NiMH batteries are with large resistance, it will display R000 for 2
seconds, and then the charger will start working.
Built-In PTC thermistor to avoid over heat and independent negative delta V eliminates over and
undercharging.
Firmware is ungradable via smart phone.

GENERAL BATTERY KNOWLEDGE
Battery Capacity(mAh):
Milliamp hours: mAh is the capacity of the battery or the amount of charge added to a battery.
What is 0.1C, 0.2C, etc?
"C" stands for the battery capacity and the number in front of it is the fraction of the battery capacity. For
example, 0.1C means 0.1 times the capacity for the battery. For a 2700mAh battery, 0.1C would be 0.1
times 2700mAh which equals 270mA.
Choosing the right charging & discharging rate
Charging at a rate below 0.33C and above 1.0C is not recommended. Charging too slow may prevent the
charger from terminating correctly.
Charging too fast may damage the battery.
Typically speaking, slower charging rate will yield better battery performance but requires longer time.
Faster charging rate may not charge as fully and battery temperature can be higher.
Battery Matching
In most devices, usually two or more batteries are used together. When batteries are used in a series, the
performance is limited by the worst one. In other words, one poorly performing battery can significantly
reduce the device runtime.
Battery matching refers to grouping batteries with similar "actual" capacity. To perform this, use the Refresh
& Analyze mode to determine the battery capacity. Group batteries with capacity within about +/- 5% of the
rated capacity.
Battery "Forming"
New batteries and those stored for extended period become chemically deactivated. Battery forming is a
charge-discharge-charge cycle which forces a full charge into the battery at a very slow rate. This process
activates the battery. In certain cases, it needs to be repeated two or three times.
Battery forming can be performed using the Break-In mode.
Trickle charging
After the rechargeable battery is fully charged in any of the operating modes, the charger will give a small
amount of current to the rechargeable batteries to maintain the fully charged level. This mode is
automatically launched after rechargeable batteries are fully charged and kept in the charging unit. The



will be displayed on the LCD.

Batteries are getting warm.
It is common for batteries to get warm while charging. The charger has a built in temperature sensor which
will stop the charging cycle if it has become too hot. Charging may resume when the battery has cooled.
Allow batteries to cool before placing into a product to be used.
