DC Powered Peak Detection Fast Charger
for 4—8 Cell Ni-Cd & Ni-MH batteries
PROPHET SELECT
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Prophet Select DC Peak Detection Charger. Charging 4–8 cell Ni-Cd and Ni-MH
battery packs safely and efciently has never been so easy. Just select a charge rate of 1, 2 or 4 amps and press
the start button. The charger will automatically stop fast charging when it senses that the pack is fully charged and
enters a safe trickle charge mode to equalize cell voltage and maintain full charge.
Although this product is designed for ease of use it is not a toy and requires some basic mechanical ability and
adult supervision. This Manual contains basic instructions for safety, operation and maintenance. It’s essential to
read and follow all the instructions and warnings in this manual, prior to assembly, setup or use, in order to operate
correctly and avoid damage or injury.

Supplying power to the charger
This charger can be powered by using the provided alligator clips to connect the charger to a 12V DC power
source, such as a 12V hobby battery (HAN102), a 12 volt power supply or an automobile battery.
Connect the red (positive) end of the alligator clips to the red terminal of the DC power source and the black
(negative) end of the alligator clips to the black terminal of the DC power source. If you choose to power the
charger with an automobile battery, never do so with the automobile running!

Charging 6- & 8-Cell Ni-Cd or Ni-MH Sub-C Battery Packs
1. When power is supplied to the charger, the charger will beep, and the LED will ash once.
2. Connect the battery pack to the charger, and the charger will beep again. The LED will repeatedly blink until you
begin the charging process.
3. Select the charge rate based on the batteries capacity rating. See “Charge Times” chart below.
4. Push the Start button to begin the charging process. The LED will be solid red during the charging process.
5. When the battery is fully charged, the LED will ash and the beeper will sound for 30 seconds. If the battery is
left connected after 30 seconds, the LED will continue to ash, and the beeper will sound approximately
every 90 seconds.
When the battery has reached full charge, the Prophet Select charger will automatically transition to a safe,
low-current Trickle Charge.
Charging 4- & 8-Cell Ni-Cd or Ni-MH Radio Packs
1. When power is supplied to the charger, the charger will beep, and the LED will ash once.
2. Connect the battery pack to the charger using the included RX charge adapter, and the charger will beep again.
The LED will repeatedly blink until you begin the charging process.
3. Select a charge rate of either 1 or 2 amps, depending on the receiver pack you are going to charge. We
recommend that you charge 600mAh or lower capacity receiver packs at 1 amp, while you may charge higher
capacity packs at 2 amps.
4. Push the Start button to begin the charging process. The LED will be solid red during the charging process.
5. Once the battery has peaked, the LED will ash, and the beeper will sound for 30 seconds. If the battery is
left connected after 30 seconds, the LED will continue to ash, and the beeper will sound approximately
every 90 seconds.
Note: When you connect the charger to a power source, the charger will beep. The charger also beeps
when a battery has been successfully connected. The LED will illuminate to indicate the battery is charging.
Once the battery has peaked, the LED will ash, and the charger will beep repeatedly.
Advanced Trickle Charge
Once the batteries are fully charged, the charger will immediately enter a pulse trickle charge. This pulse trickle
charge will condition the batteries, extend their life and make certain that they are fully charged when you are ready
to use them. You will know that the charger has entered Advanced Trickle Charge when the charger beeps and the
LED continuously ashes.
Re-Peak
Once the battery pack has peaked and is on Advanced Trickle Charge, you can re-peak the battery by simply
pushing the Start button without disconnecting the battery from the charger. Do not re-peak the battery more than
once during a charging process.
Charge Times
The following are approximate charge times necessary for a battery that is fully discharged.
Please note these are estimated times only.
The charge rates are based on the physical size of the individual cells that make up each battery pack. If the cell
size is Sub-C size or larger and the battery leads are of a gauge that will accomodate a higher charge rate, than the
4 amp rate is acceptable.
For battery cells smaller than this size, use a lower current rate or damage to the battery may occur and the battery
may not accept a full charge.
Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries transfer energy to heat then they cannot accept any more charge. If the batteries become
warm, end the fast charge process.
