Features |
1. |
Nitecore strongly recommends that AAA, AAAA and 10440 Li-ion batteries are not |
|||
|
|
charged alone in the i4 charger. When using only one charging slot, the i4's current |
|||
|
|
|
|
||
·Capable of charging 4 batteries simultaneously |
|
|
automatically sets to 750mA, which exceeds the maximum current range of most |
||
|
|
AAA, AAAA and 10440 Li-ion batteries. Failing to follow to this recommendation can |
|||
·Each of the four battery slots monitors and charges independently |
|
|
|||
|
|
result in excess heat, battery damage or even explosion,causing property damage |
|||
·Compatible with and identifies Li-ion (26650, 22650, 18650, 17670, 18490, 17500, |
|
|
|||
|
|
and/or personal injury. |
|||
18350, 16340(RCR123), 14500, 10440), Ni-MH and Ni-Cd (AA, AAA, AAAA, C) |
|
|
|||
2. |
Due to the aforementioned reasons, it is recommended that a minimum of two (2) |
||||
rechargeable batteries |
|||||
|
|
AAA or 10440 rechargeable batteries are placed into the charging slots together. |
|||
·Optimized charging design for IMR batteries |
|
|
|||
|
|
When charging two batteries in the i4, be sure to always place them in either slot 1 |
|||
·Features three charging modes (CC, CV and Trickle Charge) |
|
|
|||
|
|
and 3 or slot 2 and 4. |
|||
·Automatically detects battery status and selects the appropriate voltage and charge |
|
|
|||
3. |
When charging different battery types simultaneously (for example, li-ion 26650 and |
||||
mode |
|
||||
|
|
|
AAA), always ensure solid contact is made between both sides of the battery and the |
||

|||
·Automatically stops charging when complete |
|
|

4. |
The i4 is restricted to charging Li-ion, IMR, Ni-MH and Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries |
||||
·Features over-charge prevention to protect batteries |

|
|
only. Never use the i4 for other types of batteries as this could result in battery |
|||
·Features temperature monitoring to prevent overheating |
|
|
|||
|
|
explosion, cracking or leaking, causing property damage and/or personal injury. |
|||
·Made from durable ABS (fire retardant / flame resistant) |
|
|
|||
5. |
The i4 should only be used indoors or inside a motor vehicle. Do not expose it to |

Battery Activation
The i4 is capable of activating depleted Li-ion batteries with protective circuit. After battery installation, i4 will test and activate the battery before charging. When a battery is detected as damaged, the three yellow indicator LEDs over the slot will flicker, and i4 terminates its charging. Such damaged battery cannot be activated by i4.
NOTE: Nitecore does not recommend charging 0V (depleted) unprotected Li-ion batteries with i4 and doing so can result in battery fire or explosion.
