Multi-Current Universal Smart Charger for 9.6V - 18V NiMH Battery Packs (Tamiya Plug) CH-UN180

Features:

• Universal Fast Smart Charger is designed for charging any NiMH / NiCd Battery Pack from 9.6V - 18V, for 8 to 15 cells pack.
• LED flashing red-green-red before charging (no battery connection) in order to test the IC of the charger if ready to use.
• It is a very smart charger. Just plug it in and wait for the battery to get fully charged. Red LED indicates charging and Green LED means fully charged
• Short circuit protection: No output voltage from the charger if the battery is not connected.
• 120-240V AC input for worldwide use.
• Buit in temperature sensor to double ensure the battery pack from overcharged
• Extra battery temperature sensor wire included for your battery which do not have thermostat build in the battery. You need to DIY to add wire on you battery if necessary.
• UL Listed – E308310

Specifications and Functions:

• Auto detect battery pack voltage and set up proper charging voltage
• Cut-off power automatically by negative delta V IC when battery pack is fully charge.
• Built in IC protecting battery from over current, short circuit & reverse polarity.
• One temperature sensor outlet ( Female BEC connector) is installed with the charger to double protecting battery from overcharged.
• You must use temperature sensor to charge 12V or higher NiMH battery pack, except water bottle nimh batteries.
• For <12V battery pack, you may recharge battery without sensor. However, putting a temperature sensor on the battery pack is always a good idea
• Weight: .6 Pounds (272g)
• Dimensions: 140mm x 64mm x 38mm (5.5" X 2.5" X 1.5")

Charging Current

Two current levels: 0.9A and 1.8A selectable by a switch for both low (< 2800mAh) and high capacity battery pack (> 2800mAh)

• For battery pack between 900mAh and 2800 mAh, please use the low level switch -- charging rate: 0.9A
• For battery pack over 2800 mAh, please use the high level switch -- charging rate: 1.8A

Charging time

The smart charger will cut-off power automatically when battery is full. However, Charging time can be estimated as the follow: Time ( Hrs ) = Battery capacity (Ah) / Charging current ( 0.9A or 1.8A )

Accesories included:

• One 5' cable with female Tamiya connector and two clips which allow you to connect a battery pack to the smart charger.
• One temperature sensor (70°C thermister ) is included for battery pack which don't have thermostat protection. It must be connect between battery charger and the battery pack before charging to protect battery from overcharging.
• It will cut-off power if battery temperature is over 70°C.
