This charger is a fast charger for NiCd/NiMH
batteries. The standard version utilizes a method
called -dV detection for charge termination when
the batteries are fully charged. This method is
based on the fact that the voltage drops over
the NiCd/NiMH cells when the batteries are fully
charged. This voltage drop is detected when the
voltage has dropped a certain percentage from
the highest value (typically 0.5%). lf this drop does
not occur, the charger has a safety timer which
will terminate charging after a given time period to
avoid overcharging the batteries. A few cells may
have a voltage drop in the first part of the charge
cycle. This is especially true for battery cells which
have been idle for a longer period of time. Because
of this, a start-timer is built into the charger which
prevents -dV detection the first minutes of the
charge cycle.
As the charger is programmable, it is possible that
the standard parameters, which this user manual
is based on, have been changed. See separate
user manual or contact supplier for additional
information.
