DuraTrax IntelliPeak DC Only Mini Pulse Charger DTXP4109
This is an IntelliPeak DC Only Mini Pulse Charger for Charging/Discharging
Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) and Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery Packs.
If AC input power is needed, user must purchase the DuraTrax Compact Switching Power Supply, DTXP4300.
Note: Do Not Charge -OR- Discharge Battery Cells smaller than Sub-C Size (Sub-C is one size smaller than a C-cell).

Comments
-
Discharging cells smaller than
sub-C size: Do NOT Discharge Cells which are Smaller than Sub-C Size. This
includes 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 which is 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. This cutoff voltage 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.
-
NiMH Battery Care and
Handling: It is important not to allow NiMH packs to overheat while being
charged. Heat can adversely affect the performance of NiMH batteries. 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 in 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 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.

Other IntelliPeak Chargers
Comparison- *All IntelliPeak Chargers-except DTXP4150 IntelliPeak
Twin-Include: Ability to Charge NiCd and NiMH 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 others 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 NiMH
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.
