2.60V discharge cutoff voltage (see COMMENTS). Not designed for
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.

COMMENTS:
Discharging cells smaller than sub-C size-
Do NOT Discharge Cells which are Smaller than Sub-C Size. This is
to include A and AA size (and smaller) cells which are normally
installed inside radio transmitters and so on. 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 2.60V. 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 Digital 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 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
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.

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 showing battery voltage charge current and
discharge capacity in milliamps.
