CM 9398 Universal Battery Charger
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Camelion Charger.
For Your Safety
To prevent damage to this unit or injury to yourself or to others, please
read the following operating instructions before usage. Keep this operating
instructions for your reference when needed.
This Charger has 4 channels for charging AAA, AA, C, D rechargea- ble
batteries, and 2 channels for 9V rechargeable batteries. The build-in battery
tester provides the battery status. Based on different battery capacity, the
time of charging requirement can be selected.
When the pre-set time is reached, the charger will automatically switch to
trickle charge from fast charge mode. It ensures that the damage of the
rechargeable batteries caused by over-charging will be minimized.
Instruction:
-
Insert the AC power supply cord into AC mains outlet
-
For Charging:
– Set the timer according to the given charging timetable.
– Set the function switch on the unit to “charge” position.
– When AAA/AA/C/D types rechargeable batteries are inserted into the corresponding slot, the corresponding red LED will light up to indicate charging is in progress. If the charging battery is 9V cell, then the “9V” red LED will light up.
– After the predetermined time, the charger will switch to the trickle charge mode and the green LED will light up. Please notice that there is no trickle for 9V battery, so the “9V” red LED will continue.
– Remove the battery from the charger.
Hot Tip
To prevent overcharging note the appropriate charging time for your rechargeable battery and set the Time Control Feature accordingly.
For example if you are inserting a Ni-MH 2500mAh battery which requires 12 hours charging, you can set the time first for 3 hours.
When the red light switches off you can set it for an additional 9 hours.
Charge Times
The rechargeable battery charge time depends on the nominal capacity. To determine the charge time for your batteries, divide the imprinted capacity by the charging current and multiply this value by 1.2. You can determine the charge time for e. g. a discharged Ni-MH rechargeable battery with 2300mAh: 2300:250 = 9.2 x 1.2 = 11.04 hours. Set the timer on 12 hours as mentionned under Hot Tip. For more information about charging times of our Camelion chargers, please visit our website http://vww.camelion.com/germ/chargingtabel.html -
For Testing:
– Set the function switch on the unit to the “test” position.
– Insert 1.2V rechargeable battery (AAA, AA, C or D cell) to the first slot close to function switch. The clear LED will light up.
– Remember: You first determine if the battery is rechargeable by testing it. lf the clear LED glows weakly, the battery can be recharged.
– When charging period is completed, if the battery does not brightly light the clear LED, discard it.
Note: Only test 1.2V batteries (AAA/AA/C/D cells). Higher voltage batteries will burn out tester bulb. -
For Discharging:
Switch the function switch on the unit to the ,,discharge“ position.
(Please note that this charger cannot discharge 9V batteries) All the LEDs will go off to indicate batteries are in discharge mode. -
Please note that this is not an automatic charger. The charger does not switch to charge mode automatically after discharge. To check if the batteries are fully discharged, use the “test” feature.
