SECTION TWO: SPECIAL FEATURES ON
RECHARGING 1.2V Ni-Cd/Ni-MH BATTERIES
The SmartCharger is equipped with a whole host of state-of-
the-art technologies to allow the fastest, most efficient and user-
friendly battery charging ever!
2.1
Built-in Microprocessor
The SmartCharger is equipped with a built-in micro-
processor that automatically detects the battery condition and
monitors the charging process to give optimum charging capacities
each time.
2.2
Simply insert a 1.2V Ni-Cd/Ni-MH battery leaving the lid
open, press ANALYZE and, within about ten seconds, the
SmartCharger will have evaluated the condition of your battery.
The amount of energy left in the battery and its voltage will be
displayed on the LCD. The level of energy remaining in the battery
will be indicated by the number of bars illuminated on the Energy
symbol (see 1.4). If the SmartCharger detects that the battery is
unsuitable for recharging, the Bad Battery symbol will appear, in
which case you should remove the battery and dispose of it.
2.3
High-tech, Super-fast Charging Capabilities on 1.2V Ni-
Cd or Ni-MH Batteries
The SmartCharger is so technologically advanced that it is
able to provide super-fast and efficient charging in the shortest
possible time. The SmartCharger customises recharging cycles
according to the battery's individual needs and is equipped with the
very latest technologies, such as Negative Pulse, Fuzzy Logic and
Soft-Start, Intelligent Discharge, and Negative Delta V and Delta V
Square over Delta t Square, to achieve the highest charging
performance possible!
Negative Pulse: Improves charging performance by applying a
loading or discharge pulse to the batteries during charging. This
prevents crystallisation and reduces the build-up of gas bubbles
around the electrode during recharging, thereby maximising the
conductive surface area around the electrode and, in turn,
increasing charging efficiency.
Soft-Start: Prevents the generation of damaging heat during
charging to extend battery life! The charging cycles are Fuzzy
Logic controlled to allow a careful analysis of the battery and
gradual increase in the battery's charging level before Fast
Charging. This protects the battery and extends its useful life.
*
Intelligent Discharge System (IDS): Automatically discharges
and conditions batteries to a suitable level before recharging to
allow maximum charging capacity.
*
Negative Delta V and Delta V Square over Delta t Square
Technologies: Negative Delta V and Delta V Square over Delta
t Square are advanced charging termination criteria. This
prevents overcharging and damaging heat generation, both of
which would permanently impair the battery.
2.4
Advanced Features on Charging 1.2V Ni-Cd/Ni-MH
Batteries
The SmartCharger has a number of unique features specific
to the charging of 1.2V Ni-Cd (Nickel-Cadmium) and Ni-MH
(Nickel-Metal Hydride) batteries.
Super-fast Charging Capabilities: The SmartCharger is
specially designed to charge Ni-Cd/Ni-MH batteries in the
fastest possible time. The table in 1.3 speaks for itself!
*
User-friendly Operation: There is no need to waste time in
selecting the appropriate battery size. Simply insert the battery,
close the lid and the SmartCharger will do the rest!
V
Negative Delta V and Delta V Square over Delta t Square: The
SmartCharger employs the most advanced charging methods
that adapt to your batteries. It then relies on direct feedback
from the battery itself to stop charging at exactly the right
