Charging; Mode Selection - XciteRC 52000025 Mode D'emploi

WARNING: the charger is only suitable for the battery types listed in the specifications with a nominal
voltage of 1.2 V. Before you start charging, make sure that the battery to be charged is the correct type - do
EN
not attempt to charge batteries with different number of cells or even other battery types - fire or explosion
hazard!
WARNING: the maximum charging current is 1A. According to this, for batteries with a capacity lower
than 1000 mAh the charging rate is over 1C, therefore check whether your batteries are suitable for the 1A
charging current. Most cell types can also be charged with 2C or more. If this is not the case, do not charge
this battery with the charger - fire hazard!

Charging

• Make sure that the charger is connected to the mains - the LCD segments shows null.
