This is an IntelliPeak DC Only Mini Pulse Charger for Charging/Discharging
Nickel Cadmium () and Nickel Metal Hydride () Battery Packs.
If AC input power is needed, user must purchase the
DuraTrax Compact Switching Power Supply, DTXP4300.
Note: Do Not Charge -OR- Discharge Battery Cells smaller than Sub-C Size
(Sub-C is one size smaller than a C-cell).
FEATURES: Peak Charges & batteries using specialized Peak Charging
technology, plus Discharging and Cycling features not commonly
found in other chargers.
Incredibly small Peak Charger for optimum portability
"Negative Delta V" Peak Detection for NiCds and NiMHs
Built-in Artificial Intelligence to eliminate false Peaks
Auto-identifies the quantity of cells being charged
Computerized control, 8-bit 4MHz CPU with 8K ROM, 1K RAM,
1-channel 16-bit Analog-To-Digital Converter.
High efficiency P-Channel MOSFET drive transistors
11-15V DC input
Built-in cooling fan
Output: 4-7 cells on DC
Adjustable Fast Charge Current of 1-4.5A
Note: 3A maximum Charge rate recommended with packs.
Pulsed Fast Charge, with 8-bit Pulse Width Modulated Current Control
output.
100mA TRICKLE Charge
2A fixed Discharge rate. Fixed 2.6V Discharge Cutoff Voltage-
(see COMMENTS). NOT designed for Discharging 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
batteries that have developed a memory, or breaking in new packs.
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
One built-in miniature fan keeps the charger cool, increasing
efficiency and lifespan.
Reverse polarity and 7.5A fused overload protection

COMMENTS: Discharging cells smaller than sub-C size:
Do NOT Discharge Cells which are Smaller than Sub-C Size. This
includes A and AA size (and smaller) cells which are normally
installed inside radio transmitters and so on. The Discharge
Current rate of the IntelliPeak is too high for such smaller cells
and the wiring which is used to assemble such packs. Failing to
avoid this will likely cause permanent damage to the cells and/or
wiring in the battery 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
packs to overheat while being charged. Heat can adversely affect
the performance of batteries. 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
will likely 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.
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 that shows battery voltage, Charge current,
and Discharge capacity in milliamps.
