COMMENTS:
Discharging cells smaller than sub-C size:
Do NOT Discharge Cells which are Smaller than Sub-C Size. This is
to include 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 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, which 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 that NiMH batteries
not overheat while being charged. Heat can adversely affect the
performance of packs. If overheating is observed, disconnect
the pack 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.
-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 other 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.
