Introduction
The POWER PEAK 3 SPORT is designed for charging and discharging NICD and NIMH
batteries consisting of 1 to 10 cells.
The unit provides the following functions: CHARGE, DISCHARGE, DISCHARGE-BEFORE-
CHARGE AND triple DISCHARGE-BEFORE-CHARGE.
Safety notes
-
If the charger is not to be used for a protracted period, disconnect it from the power
source and remove any battery packs connected to it.
-
Be sure to keep the cooling slots unobstructed to provide good air circulation - don't
stand the charger on a carpet or felt surface.
-
Do not set up the charger and batteries on a flammable surface, and never leave the
unit operating unsupervised.
-
Protect the unit from damp.
-
Take care to maintain correct polarity at all connections and outputs. If you connect a
pack with reversed polarity the fuse will blow.
-
Avoid short-circuits.
-
Don't subject the charger to direct sunshine, and do not cover it.
-
Do not charge batteries which are already hot; allow them to cool down to ambient tem-
perature before recharging.
-
Use only packs of fast-charge cells which have been properly balanced (equal state of
charge).
-
Packs must consist of cells of the same make, type and capacity.
-
Do not wire two packs together in parallel for charging.
-
The unit is only suitable for use with rechargeable batteries.
-
Set charge currents within the maximum rated capacity of the cables and connectors
attached to the battery pack.
-
Never connect any charger output to the input.
