Great Planes Triton Charger - GPMM3150 - Manual (Page 3)

• Perform 1 to 10 cycles for battery conditioning and evaluation (NiCd and
NiMH only).
• Recall data for 10 full cycles on a two-line, 32 character LCD.
• Displays input and output voltage, and memorizes peak and average battery
voltages.
• Status screen constantly updates capacity, battery voltage, current, and time
during use.
• Adjustable sound cues.
• Warning messages for improper input voltage, poor connections, unsuitable
battery condition, reverse polarity on output.
•
Safety features include cool-off time delay, maximum NiMH charge input, fast
charge safety timer, current overload and reverse polarity protection.
•
Built-in cooling fan, for better charge efficiency and extended charger life.
• Do NOT attempt to charge incompatible types of rechargeable batteries as
permanent damage to the battery and charger could result.

• Do not allow water, moisture or foreign objects into the charger.
• Do not block the air intake holes or the fan vent, which could cause the charger
to overheat.
• Do not attempt to use batteries with more cells or total voltage than listed in the
specifications.
• Do not leave the charger unattended while charging. Disconnect the battery
and remove input power from charger immediately if the charger becomes

• Do not place the charger or battery on a flammable surface or near a flammable
object while in use. Keep away from carpets, cluttered workbenches, etc.
•
Always disconnect from power source when not in use.
•
Do not overcharge batteries as permanent damage could result. Do not use a
charge or discharge current rate which exceeds the safe level of the battery. Do
not attempt to charge or discharge a battery if it is hot.
•
Keep out of reach of children.
While similar in appearance to NiCd batteries and having the same 1.2V rating per
cell, NiMH cells contain a different chemical makeup which requires different care
and handling.
• Do not to allow NiMH batteries to overheat at any time. Heat can adversely
affect the performance of NiMH batteries. If overheating is observed, disconnect
the battery from the charger immediately and allow to cool!
