It's perfect for entry-level modelers and small budgets. Compact and low-cost, the Onyx 110 makes it easy to get a full, deep charge on NiCd and NiMH packs. Set the charge rate, attach the pack and it starts charging automatically - and switches to a trickle charge rate when peak charge is reached. Works with packs ranging from tiny 600mAh "AAA" to 6000mAh sub-C size cells - and anywhere there's AC or DC power.
Features:
- Great for a pit table, but includes a built-in switching AC power supply for use on your workbench at home.
- Small enough to put in a pit bag - and weighs just under a half-pound.
- Charges 6- and 7-cell power packs as well as 4-, 5-cell and 8-cell radio packs.
- Starts charging at hookup, peaks packs automatically and switches to trickle charge rates to keep them topped off.
- Simple to use, built to last - and protected by a full 5-year warranty.
