This is an IntelliPeak AC/DC Pulse Charger for Charging/Discharging Nickel-Cadmium
(NiCd) and Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery Packs.
Note: Do Not Charge -OR- Discharge Battery Cells smaller than Sub-C Size ("Sub-C"
is one size smaller than a "C" size).
FEATURES: Peak charges nickel-cadmium and Nickel-metal Hydride batteries using
two specialized peak charging technologies, plus discharging and cycling features
not commonly found in other chargers. "Negative Delta V" peak detection
for NiCds, plus advanced "Zero Delta V" peak detection technology
specifically for NiMHs, providing full charges without overcharging. Built-in
Artificial Intelligence to eliminate false peaks. Auto-selects peak detection
method by identifying cell chemistry. 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. Incredibly small, detachable, 12 volt 7 amp AC power supply
with built-in cooling fan for at home use. Output: 4-7 cells on DC, 4-8 cells
on AC. Adjustable fast charge current of 0.5-6.5 amps. Pulsed fast charge, with
8-bit pulse width modulated current control output. 100mA trickle charge. Discharge
voltage cutoff :2.6volts 10 and 2 amp fixed discharge rates, selectable by switch.
Fixed 2.60V discharge cutoff voltage (see COMMENTS). Not designed for discharging
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 batteries 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. One Year Warranty

Fixed discharge cutoff voltage- The IntelliPeak Charger has a fixed discharge
cutoff voltage setting of 2.60V. This cutoff voltage is not adjustable. If a
specific discharge cutoff value other than 2.60V is desired, monitor the pack
voltage during discharge with a separate voltmeter (or the built-in LCD on the
IntelliPeak Pulse Charger) and manually terminate discharge at such
point as desired.
NiMH Battery Care and Handling: It is important not to allow NiMH batteries
to overheat while being charged. Heat can adversely affect the performance of
NiMH batteries. The Zero Delta V technology is designed to allow for high rate,
6.5A fast charge without adverse heating of the NiMH 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 NiMH batteries.
Permanent damage could result. Store NiMH packs with some voltage remaining
on the cells. -Use a NiMH 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 4.5 amps as this could cause excessive heating in the charger itself.
