SPECIAL FEATURES
● Two independent outputs, each with identical features and functions.
● A tiny built-in switching AC power supply is great for portability and cramped pit areas, yet can deliver up to 5 amps
of charge current for each output!
● A DC power lead with alligator clips easily connects to many 12V DC power sources.
● Selectable charge currents of 800mA, 1.5A, 3A and 5 amps, with auto trickle – each output.
● LiPo/LiFe compatibility with built-in balancing each output.
● A built in jack for charging 4-5 cell Rx packs or even Tx packs – each output.
● Easy to read blue backlit LCD shows battery voltage, charge current, time and capacity – each output.
● A custom cc/cv algorithm carefully charges lithium-polymer, lithium-ion or lithium ferrite-phosphate (such as
LiFeSource
™
) batteries fully and safely!
● A precise peak detection system with automatic trickle charge fi lls NiCd/NiMH packs completely, for optimum battery
voltage and run time.
● Push button controls and audible tones make for easy setup and control.
● Solid state reverse polarity and current overload protection ensure trouble-free operation.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
● Do not leave the charger unattended while in use.
● Disconnect the battery and remove input power from the charger immediately if the charger
or battery becomes hot!!
● Do not attempt to charge incompatible types of rechargeable batteries as permanent damage to the
battery and charger could result.
● Do not use automotive type battery chargers to power the charger.
● Do not allow water, moisture or foreign objects into the charger.
