Chapter
Please study these instructions, reading them completely and attentively, before using the unit
for the first time. This will guarantee that you will be able to exploit all the facilities of your new
battery charger. The warnings and safety notes are particularly important. Please store these
instructions in a safe place, and be sure to pass them on to the new owner if you ever dispose
of the charger.
In the MULTILADER 9E you have acquired a mature product with an excellent performance. It incor-
porates the latest semi-conductor technology to provide superior charging characteristics combined
with simple operation and optimum reliability. These features can normally be expected only from much
more expensive units.
The MULTILADER 9E represents a reliable method of charging sintered Nickel-Cadmium (NC, Ni-Cd)
packs, Nickel-Metal-Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries, Lithium-Polymer (Li-Po), and LiFePO
and also lead-gel and lead-acid (Plumbum: Pb) batteries, intended for direct connection to a easily
accessible 110 ~ 240 V AC (50/60 HZ) mains supply socket near to the charger. It is comprehensively
protected against overload and short-circuit, and requires no maintenance. Separate charge indicator
LEDs are fitted for each charge output.
Note
It is important always to observe the charging instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer, and to
keep to the recommended charge currents and times Do not fast-charge batteries unless the manuf-
acturer states expressly that they are suitable for the high currents which flow during these processes.
When charging new batteries you may also encounter problems with premature charge termination.
Whenever you wish to use a new battery it therefore makes sense to carry out a series of monitored
test charges, so that you can check that the automatic charge termination circuit works correctly and
reliably with your packs, and charges them to full capacity.
