Ce chargeur utilise un système de détection de charge pour protéger votre batterie Ni-Cad et Ni-Mh contre les
surcharges tout en optimisant la charge. Ce système surveille constamment la charge et s’arrête automatiquement en
fin de charge. Ceci permet d’éviter d’endommager les éléments Ni-Cd et Ni-Mh.
Important : La batterie doit être un peu chargée avant chaque vol. Si vous chargez la batterie 12 à 24 heures
avant de voler, il sera nécessaire de compléter la charge juste avant le vol.
ATTENTION : Vous ne pouvez pas charger une batterie Li-Po avec ce chargeur. Vous devez absolument utiliser un
chargeur spécial pour ce type de batterie sous peine de causer un incendie.
Utilisation du chargeur DC Peak
1. Sélectionner un courant de charge de 1,4 A à l’aide du potentiomètre sur le chargeur.
2. Connecter la batterie au chargeur avec l’adaptateur fourni.
3. Connecter le chargeur à l’alimentation 12 V. La Led doit clignoter durant toute la charge.
4. La charge est terminée quand la Led reste constamment allumée (40 minutes). Vous pouvez remarquer que la
batterie est chaude en fin de charge.
Charging the Aircraft Battery
The ParkZone ® variable rate DC Peak charger uses unique
peak detection circuitry that ensures an accurate charge
every time and protects your Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries from
the dangers of over-charging. This charger continually moni-
tors the battery’s charge curve and automatically stops charg-
ing when the peak charge is detected. The peak detection
charger will help avoid damage to your Ni-Cd and Ni-MH cells.
Important: The battery should be charged shortly before
flying. If you charge the battery 12 to 24 hours prior to flying,
you will need to “re-peak” the battery before you fly.

WARNING! You cannot charge the optional Li-Po battery packs with the ParkZone variable rate DC Peak
charger included with this kit. You must use a Li-Po specific battery charger. Failure to follow this warning
could result in a fire.
Using Your Variable Rate DC Peak Charger
1. Using the dial on the side of the charger, set the charge rate at 1.4 amps.
2. Connect the battery pack to the charger using the included adapter.
3. Connect the charger to the 12V power outlet in your automobile.
The LED will continually blink while the battery charges.
4. Charging is finished when the LED indicator glows steadily (approximately 40 minutes). You should also notice at
this time that the battery is warm to the touch. To avoid a fire or damage to your vehicle, place your battery pack
on a heat-resistant surface while it is charging.
Variable Rate DC Peak Detection Charger Features
• Variable charge rate from 0.5–1.8 amps
• Trickle charge
• Uses automobile 12V power outlet
• Charges 5- to 10-cell Ni-Cd and Ni-MH battery packs
• LED charge indicator
Note: The charge time is only an estimate of a fully discharged battery pack. Actual charge times may vary.
Damage to the charger and battery will occur if you exceed the maximum charge rate recommended (1.4 amps).
Note: Do not leave the charger or battery unattended during the charge process. While charging, place the
battery on a heat resistant surface and constantly monitor the temperature of the battery pack. If the battery
becomes hot at any time during the charge process, discontinue charging immediately. It should only be warm to
the touch, and should not feel warm until it is almost done charging. Do not allow children to charge battery packs
without adult supervision.
