The AP8 is a battery charger with discharge function for rechargeable batteries and allows simultaneously anhd alternat-ing charging / discharging of up to 8 batteries in two charging bay groups.

Each of the 8 charging bays can hold one NiMH- or NiCd-battery of the dimensions AA (Mignon) or AAA (Micro). The charging process starts automatically after inserting the batteries. The precise charge control, the -ΔU procedure for detecting a full battery and an integrated safety timer ensure that your batteries are optimal charged and protected.

The discharge function that first discharges the batteries and then fully charges them again, can be separately started for each of the two groups via pressing the ”Discharge“ button. To regularly fully discharge the batteries is a base for their long lifetime. Therefore you should maintain your batteries every 4-6 weeks.

After finishing the charge process the AP8 switches to the maintenance mode that eliminates self discharge and guarantees fully charged batteries for instant use.

The AP8 can detect deep discharged batteries and automatically starts a „forming“ for the affected batteries. Defective batteries are also detected and indicated via LED, an automatic shut down of the particular charging bay follows.

Using a wide range power supply the charger can be operated in almost every international power network and via 12V car adapter also in your car.

The systematic usage of your AV4m can extend the lifetime of your battery, therefore save your money and make an effective contribution to environmental protection. Using a wide range power supply the charger can be operated in almost every international power network and via 12V car adapter also in your car.
