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
INCLUDES: One ElectriFly Peak Charger with 47" wire and a 2-pin
female connector
One instruction sheet
REQUIRES: Setting the charge rate, plugging battery into charger and then
plugging the charger into the power receptacle.
Optional Charge Plug Adapters (For charging batteries that don't
have a red male 2-pin connector.)
