- Pushbutton controls and audible tones make for easy set-up and control.
- Configure up to 5 batteries in memory for instant, easy recall and set-up.
- A custom peak detection system loads NiCd and NiMH batteries full of power. Peak sensitivity can be adjusted to tailor the charger to the battery.
- Large alligator clips on the DC input easily connect to most 12V DC power sources.
- A backup safety timer automatically stops charge to prevent accidental battery overcharge.
- Includes a built-in output lead with standard plug. An adapter is available separately to connect batteries having a Deans® Ultra Plug® connector (GPMM3131).
- Solid-state reverse polarity and current overload safety devices ensure trouble-free operation and long duration.
TYPICAL APPLICATION:
The Onyx 220 charger is great for a wide variety of applications! With adjustable charge current ranging from 0.1 to 5 amps, it's an excellent choice for applications as small as 1/32 scale micros to 1/8 scale electrics — even nitro receiver batteries and transmitter packs! An advanced LCD with reversed characters and backlight — previously only found in top-end racing chargers — is great for use indoors or outdoors, daytime or night. A tiny, lightweight built-in switching AC power supply, combined with a DC input means the Onyx 220 can be used anywhere!
