Your Radio Shack Universal Battery
Pack Conditioner/Charger uses ad-
vanced technology to condition and
recharge 6- to 12-volt rechargeable
battery packs from camcorders, cel-
lular phones, radio-controlled vehi-
cles, and more.
To prevent your rechargeable battery
pack from losing its ability to fully re-
charge, you must completely dis-
charge it (condition it) about once
every 10 times you recharge it. Nor-
mal battery chargers can only re-
charge a battery pack. Your Radio
Shack universal battery pack condi-
tioner/charger lets you both dis-
charge and recharge it, increasing
your battery pack’s efficiency and du-
rability.
Its features include:
Multiple Charging Contacts — let
you condition various types of re-
chargeable battery packs.
Built-In Discharger — lets you con-
dition your rechargeable battery pack
for the longest life and best perfor-
mance.
Reversible Polarity Switch — lets
you quickly reverse the charging po-
larity of an incorrectly positioned bat-
tery pack.
Automatic Switching — automati-
cally switches to the charging mode
when discharging is complete.
Automatic Voltage Sensor — auto-
matically determines the maximum
voltage a connected battery pack will
be charged to.
LED Charging Lights — show you
the battery pack’s charging condi-
tion.
Temperature Sensor — protects
battery packs from over-heating dur-
ing charging.
Battery Pack Versatility — lets you
recharge Nickel-Cadmium, Nickel-
Metal Hydride, and Lead-Acid re-
chargeable battery packs.
Two Optional Power Sources — let
you power the conditioner/charger
using either standard AC power or
your vehicle’s battery power.
