GPMM3000   Great Planes   ElectriFly Peak Charger 
TECH NOTES
            This is the ElectriFly Peak Charger from Great Planes.
  Charges NiCd or NiMH Battery Packs used to fly lightweight electric aircraft.

 *****************************************************************************
        SEE COMMENTS FOR IMPORTANT NOTES ON CHARGING 8 CELL PACKS
 *****************************************************************************

FEATURES: Advanced automatic peak detection circuitry technology.
          Automatic detection of battery type.
          Charges 6 to 8** cells, and works with Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel-
            Metal Hydride battery packs.**SEE COMMENTS FOR IMPORTANT NOTES**
          Plugs into a car cigarette lighter or auxiliary power receptacle,
            for charging virtually anywhere, even in transit to the field**
            **SEE COMMENTS FOR IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES!!**
          Has two peak charge rates of 600mAh for larger motor and transmitter
            batteries, or 200mAh for smaller flight batteries. (see SPECS)
          Automatically switches to 15mA trickle charge after peak.
          Pulse charge current means fliers can charge smaller batteries
            without fear of overheating.
          Reverse polarity protection with overload fuse.
          Multi-function red LED is ON during fast charge, and flashes
            during trickle charge.
          The 2-pin connector offers "plug & play" simplicity and connects
            directly into most ElectriFly batteries (Adapters are sold
            separately for use with transmitters and other batteries, see
            REQUIRES).
          One year warranty

            plugging the charger into the power receptacle.
          Optional Charge Plug Adapters (For charging batteries that don't
            have a red male 2-pin connector.)
