FEATURES: Advanced automatic Peak Detection Circuitry technology
Automatic detection of battery type
Charges 6 to 8** cells, and works with Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel-
Metal Hydride battery packs.**SEE COMMENTS FOR IMPORTANT NOTES**
Plugs into a car cigarette lighter or auxiliary power receptacle,
for charging virtually anywhere, even in transit to the field**
**SEE COMMENTS FOR IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES!!**
Has two Peak Charge rates of 600mAh for larger motor and transmitter
batteries, or 200mAh for smaller flight batteries. (see SPECS)
Automatically switches to 15mA TRICKLE Charge after Peak
Pulse Charge current means fliers can Charge smaller batteries
without fear of overheating.
Reverse polarity protection with overload fuse
Multi-function Red LED is ON during Fast Charge, and flashes
during TRICKLE Charge.
The 2-pin connector offers "plug & play" simplicity and connects
