![]() Specifications nextGeneration high-tech multi function charger/discharger with the unbelievable characteristics
Remarks (*) automatic cut-off may be problematic with 1 – 3 cells, so we recommend as before to use more or equal than 4 cells. (**) The higher cell count is valid for a supply voltage of minimum 13.8 volts. next 10.36-8 Because of the high discharge power at power supply use (or with a fully charged car battery) we use a more powerful fan than in the other chargers of this series. For this reason the noise of the fan (if it really works) is louder than the noise of the other fans. |
