Maha Powerex MH-C204W 1-Hour Worldwide Travel Conditioning Charger for AA / AAA NiMH Batteries Maha

Compact and Light Weight: Charger Unit weighs only 4 oz!

*Batteries not included

• No need to carry around another bag of luggage for your heavy charger.  Unlike other models, the MH-C204W does not need an external power adapter – it has an universal power adapter built into it.  The size of the MH-C204W is about the same size as a standard consumer digital camera.
• Worldwide Operation:   Instead of carrying around transformers for each country, the MH-C204W has an integrated 100-240V 50/60Hz international power supply.  Take the charger anywhere in the world and never worry about voltage!
• Ultra fast recharging time;  recharge 2 AA or 2 AAA batteries right around 1 hour.  Recharge 4 AA / AAA batteries in about two hours.

Improvements on an already intelligent charger

• When the light turns green, the batteries will be nearly 98% charged so you can get the most of the high capacity batteries.  The MH-C204W has a 5th generation PowerEx microprocessor that features an unique four stage charging process:
• Ramp-up
• Rapid Charging
• Top-off charging
• Maintenance Charging

The Ramp-up jolts the batteries if needed to revive old batteries. This jolting feature is a series of carefully timed high current pulses that can activate both new and inactive batteries.

The MH-C204W is designed with an intermediate, medium current, top-off charge so that the battery will retain most of its charge.  The Maintenance Charging feature is an extremely low current pulse charging that gives the batteries a brief pulse charge periodically to ensure the batteries are charged but not overcharged.

Battery Conditioning Feature:  Bring dead batteries back to life

Like a well conditioned athlete, batteries also need to be conditioned from time to time so that it can produce maximum performance in all of your equipment.  Batteries that were ready for the recycle bin may be brought back to life using the conditioning feature.  The conditioning feature is also an useful tool at reviving poorly performing batteries.
