This is the Electrifly Triton DC Computerized, Charger, Discharger, and Cycler from Great Planes.
FEATURES: Handles 1-24 cell NiCd or NiMH cells, 1-4 Lithium-Ion or Lithium- Polymer cells (Li-Ion/Li-Po) or 6,12, and 24V lead-acid batteries (Pb). 24V lead acid batteries and 1-3 lithium-polymer cells. Great for small Park Flyers, large scale electrics, transmitter and receiver batteries, field batteries . . . even R/C cars! Up to 10 different battery configurations are storable for instant, easy recall and charger set up. Features adjustable peak detection sensitivity, and recalls data for up to 10 full cycles. Top-off charge feature fully charges NiMHs without overheating. The scrolling dial offers simplicity and sophistication in its programming. Warning messages for improper input voltage, poor connections, unsuitable battery condition, and reverse polarity on output. Safety features include cool-off time delay, maximum NiMH charge input, fast charge safety timer, current overload, and reverse polarity protection. Optional battery temperature monitoring allows modelers to safely and accurately charge heat-sensitive Lithium-Ion, Lithium-polymer and NIMH batteries. Built-in cooling fan for better charge efficiency and longer charger life. One year warranty.

COMMENTS: To achieve the Triton's maximum potential, the power supply must be capable of delivering at least 13 amps of current while maintaining 12 volts DC. 9-09-02kh upd nna 11-18-02 upd jpg 1-9-03 upd jxs 1/17/03 ir/jxs Q: When should my fan turn on? A: The temperature-controlled fan does not turn on until needed, which occurs in the following circumstances: 1. During discharge 2. During charge: a. if the temp of the charger exceeds 50 degrees centigrade b. if the charge output power is over 30W c. if the charge current is over 2.5A d. if charging 1cell, or packs containing 2 or 3 cells 3. During charge or discharge, if the temp of the charger itself exceeds 100 deg C the charger will stop all charge or discharge functions until the temp of the charger becomes below than 70 degrees C. The fan should continue to run until the temp of the charger drops below 45 degrees C.
Temperaure sensor recommended for LI-PO chargers using an external temp sensor and plugging this into the charger socket. LI-POs should be charged at currents recommended by the battery manufacture and no greater. We are unable to accept any claims for damaged cells. Can be used on the sweet 16 Quick but you will need to charger one set of cells at a time due to the input voltage required.
