• Incredibly small Peak Charger for optimum portability
• "Negative Delta V" Peak Detection for NiCds and NiMHs
• Built-in Artificial Intelligence to eliminate false Peaks
• Auto-identifies the quantity of cells being charged
• Computerized control, 8-bit 4MHz CPU with 8K ROM, 1K RAM, 1-channel 16-bit Analog-To-Digital Converter.
• High efficiency P-Channel MOSFET drive transistors
• 11-15V DC input
• Built-in cooling fan
• Output: 4-7 cells on DC
• Adjustable Fast Charge Current of 1-4.5A
• Note: 3A maximum Charge rate recommended with NiMH packs.
• Pulsed Fast Charge, with 8-bit Pulse Width Modulated Current Control output.
• 100mA TRICKLE Charge
• 2A fixed Discharge rate. Fixed 2.6V Discharge Cutoff Voltage - (see COMMENTS). NOT designed for Discharging 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 breaking in new packs.
• 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

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 and manually terminate Discharge at such point as desired.
