ElectriFly Peak Charger from Great Planes.
Charges NiCd or NiMH Battery Packs used to fly electric aircraft.
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 directly into most ElectriFly batteries (Adapters are
sold separately for use with transmitters and other batteries, see
REQUIRES). One year warranty

COMMENTS: If the battery is rated at 330mAh or less, set the switch
on the face of the charger to "200mA". If the battery is rated at
greater than 330mAh, set the switch to "600mA". This charger will not
charge batteries smaller than 6 cells.
