Time

This charger can charge between 2 and 12 NiMH or NiCd
cells connected in series and will detect and provide the
correct output voltage and current to suit.
End charge is by -Δ V(about 5mV for each cell) detection,
after -Δ V. It will turn to trickle-off charge, it’s charger
current is fast charging current of 1/20.

Warning: This charger should only be used to charge

NiMH or NiCD batteries with a capacity of more than
1000mHA
