Adjustable Fast Charge Current of .5-6.5A
Pulsed fast charge, with 8-bit pulse width modulated current control
output.
100mA TRICKLE charge
10 and 2A fixed Discharge rates, selectable by switch. Fixed
2.6V Discharge Cutoff Voltage (see COMMENTS). Not designed for
A or AA size (and smaller) cells (see COMMENTS).
Cycle functions: Select a single Discharge/Charge cycle for periodic
pack conditioning, or continuous "auto-repeat" cycles for reviving
packs that have developed a memory, or for breaking in a new pack.
Four multi-function, high intensity LED indicators. Status light
glows during Charge and flashes when nearing Peak.
Audible mode select tone signals for easy set-up
Twin built-in miniature fans keep the charger cool, increasing
efficiency and lifespan.
Reverse polarity and overload protection
Designed to charge sub-C battery pack.

COMMENTS: Discharging cells smaller than sub-C size-
Do NOT Discharge Cells Smaller than Sub-C Size. This includes
A and AA size (and smaller) cells which are normally installed
inside radio transmitters and so on. Discharge Current rate of
the IntelliPeak is too high for such smaller cells and the wiring
used to assemble such packs. Failing to avoid this will likely
cause permanent damage to the cells and/or wiring in the packs,
and possibly the equipment in which the battery is installed.
Fixed Discharge Cutoff Voltage-
The IntelliPeak Charger has a fixed Discharge Cutoff Voltage
setting of 2.6V. This Cutoff Voltage is not adjustable. If a
specific Discharge Cutoff Value other than 2.6V is desired,
monitor the pack voltage during Discharge with a separate voltmeter
(or the built-in LCD on the IntelliPeak Digital Pulse Charger) and
manually terminate Discharge at such point as desired.
Battery Care and Handling: It is important not to allow NiMH
batteries to overheat while being charged. Heat can adversely
affect the performance of batteries. The Zero Delta V
technology is designed to allow for high rate, 6.5A Fast Charge
without adverse heating of the battery. If overheating is
observed, disconnect the battery from the charger immediately
and reduce the Charge rate for future charging needs.
-Also, Do Not Deep-Cycle batteries. Permanent damage could
result. Store packs with some voltage remaining in the cells.
-Use a battery pack no more than three cycles per day, with a
two to three hour break in between for cooling. More frequent use
is likely to overheat the pack.
WARNING: Do Not leave charger unattended during Fast Charge. If the
battery or charger becomes hot at any time, disconnect the battery
from the charger immediately.
-Do Not Charge 4 or 5 cell batteries at a rate greater than 4.5A
as this could cause excessive heating in the charger itself.
Other IntelliPeak Chargers Comparison-
*All IntelliPeak chargers-except DTXP4150 IntelliPeak Twin-include:
Ability to charge and packs.
Adjustable Pulsed Current.
Cycling functions (single cycle: periodic conditioning of regularly
used batteries, and auto-repeat cycle: for deep conditioning of
new or unused batteries.
Four multi-function LEDs and audible tones to ease setup.
CPU driven.
*Each one builds up to the next one:
-Pulse Charger: AC/DC input, 1A Discharge rate, great for racers
and sport modelers alike.
-Mini Pulse Charger: Builds on the Pulse Charger's features with DC
input, detachable AC Power Supply...charger itself is very small,
great for portability, 2A Discharge rate, 1 built-in cooling
fan. Note: This charger will only go down to a 1A Charge rate.
(The others chargers go down to .5A).
-Deluxe Pulse Charger: Adds to the Mini Pulse Charger's features
with DC input, detachable AC Power Supply. 2 and 10A Discharge
rate (faster Discharge ability). Negative Delta V (for NiCds)
and Zero Delta V (for NiMHs) peak technologies, auto-selects.
High Rate Charging for high-capacity packs. Two built-in
cooling fans.
-Digital Pulse Charger: Includes all of the Deluxe model's features
plus LCD readout showing Battery Voltage, Charge Current, and
Discharge capacity in milliamps.
