PIT PEAK

™

4/5 Cell Ni-Cd and Ni-MH

Receiver Pack Charger

INSTRUCTIONS

Thank for you purchasing the Pit Peak

DC Peak charger. This charger will safely charge virtually all 4/5 cell Ni-Cd and

Ni-MH receiver packs. It continuously monitors the battery’s charge curve and calculates when the peak will occur

(100% charge), then stops fast charging at that point. This feature helps to protect Ni-Cd and especially Ni-MH cells, which are very sensitive to heat. After the battery has peaked, the charger automatically transitions to trickle charge, keeping the battery pack fully charged until you are once again ready to use it.

Connect the red (positive) alligator clip to the red terminal of the DC power source and the black (negative) alligator clip to the black terminal of the DC power source. If you choose to power this charger with an automobile battery, never do so with the automobile running!

Charging 4/5 Cell Ni-Cd or Ni-MH

Receiver Packs

When power is supplied to the charger correctly, the charger will beep.

1. Connect the receiver battery lead to the charger. The charger will beep and the LED will flash red until you begin the charge process by pressing the

Start button.

Pit Peak Features

• Peak detection circuitry

• 1.5-amp charge rate

• Alligator clips for DC operation

• Universal charge lead with BEC adaptor allows virtually all 4/5 cell receiver packs to be charged

• Simple push-button operation

2. Push the Start button to begin the

1.5-amp fast charge process. The charger will beep and the LED will remain solid in color.

Once the battery has peaked, the beeper will repeatedly sound and the LED will once again flash. When this occurs, the charger is in trickle charge mode.

Re-Peak

You can re-peak your battery pack by simply pushing the Start button with the battery still attached to the charger.

Do not re-peak more than once per charge cycle. After the battery has re-peaked, the charger will once again transition to trickle charge.
