Dolphin MultiCharger

Introduction

The Dolphin MultiCharger provides intelligent battery management for 10 Dolphin battery packs.

Basic Features

The Dolphin MultiCharger

•Can charge as many as 10 Dolphin battery packs independently.

•Charges 3.6V NiMH rechargeable battery packs. A two-level charging algorithm switches from fast charge to trickle charge when the battery is fully charged. This method provides rapid charging without overcharging.

•Incorporates a Condition and Calibrate cycle to correct errors associated with rechargeable batteries.

Intelligent Battery Charging

The battery charging circuitry is intelligent and can sense changes in temperature and voltage. When charging a battery, the Dolphin MultiCharger charges at the maximum rate. When the Dolphin MultiCharger senses that the battery pack is fully charged, the charging rate drops to a trickle charge. The trickle charge keeps the battery pack at full capacity. This charging method protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging.

The Dolphin MultiCharger can charge 10 battery packs simultaneously with individual charge control circuitry for each of the 10 battery pocket locations.
