220 charger is great for a wide
variety of applications! The 0.1 to 5.0 amp adjustable
current range plus 4 to 8 cell NiCd and NiMH compatibility
makes this charger an excellent choice for applications as
small as 1/32 scale micros to 1/8 scale electrics – even
nitro receiver packs and transmitter packs. The advanced,
reversed LCD with backlight, and simple menus and controls
are very easy to use anytime. The tiny built-in switching AC
power supply makes for super-simple transportation, yet
can still deliver the power for race quality packs. A unique
jack is built-in which is handy for charging 4 to 5 cell nitro
Rx batteries or even transmitter packs. A quick reference
fl owchart is included for easy understanding of all menus.
