FEATURES
Separate charging processes for each battery inserted (individual
supervision of each cell position); Faulty cell detection; Automatic start
of the charging process once the batteries make contact regardless of
the charging status before insertion; NiMH or NiCd selected via switch;
Microprocessor control of the charging status; –delta V control and safety
timer; Trickle charging; Automatic matching of charging current and

unit is connected to the mains (see type plate), or to the 12 V DC adaptor
and the corresponding (NiMH or NICd) rechargeable battery is inserted,
the charging process starts automatically. When inserting the batteries
please pay attention to the correct polarity and type (NiMH/NiCd). When
several cells are to be charged, they do not need to be inserted at the
