ANSMANN Energy 16 Plus Battery Charger + Size D Rechargeable Batteries (4-Pack)

Intelligent charge control

After inserting the batteries, the charger starts an automatic diagnosis and a quick capacity test for about ten seconds.
Depending on the condition of the battery, the device selects a gentle pre-charge and/or refresh program, or initiates the actual charging process.
The refresh mode restores performance of rechargeable batteries damaged by storage or memory effect, and prolongs their life cycle considerably.

Once a battery is fully charged, the charging process is automatically stopped and switched to trickle charging (buffer charging with current impulses).
This feature ensures optimum performance and counteracts the self-discharge of the battery. The battery can thus remain in the device until it is used.
A clearly arranged LED display shows the current program mode for each charging slot separately.
Should a non-rechargeable or defective battery be inserted accidentally, this will be indicated by a flashing red LED.

ANSMANN Energy series

The microcontroller-monitored charger of Energy series does not require any control elements and, thanks to the fully automatic control, its handling is clear and easy.
Apart from USB devices, you can charge all five major battery sizes, also mixed. The battery level prior to charging is irrelevant.
The charger is suitable for all brand batteries (NiMH/NiCd) and rechargeable batteries.

• Charging the batteries: Charging option for 1-12 Micro AAA / Mignon AA, 1-6 Baby C / Mono D, 1-2 9V Block NiCd/NiMH rechargeable batteries.
• Maintaining and refreshing the batteries: The device automatically detects ailing rechargeable batteries, and initiates a refresh program which gently "revives" the batteries.
• Automatic shut-off: State of the art microprocessor-controlled charging technology with multiple overcharge protection guarantees optimally charged batteries and a gentle charging process.
• Quick charge: The Energy 16 Plus US automatically determines the optimal charging current for the inserted batteries and charges them with up to 1000 mA in a rapid charging process.
• Individual monitoring: Each battery is individually monitored during charging, and individually charged to its maximum capacity.
• USB charging sockets: Two USB ports offer the possibility to also charge mobile devices with fixed batteries, such as smart phones.

Highlights of the Size D Rechargeables

For devices with high power consumption/low self-discharge

Optimal solution for demanding users: The batteries have a high capacity, and still a very low self-discharge.
It is thus ideal for applications such as flashlights, toys, modelling, game consoles, digital cameras, flash equipment, medical equipment etc. maxE has the energy to power all your devices.

Benefits the environment and your wallet

NiMH batteries can generally be used wherever disposable batteries are used. This allows you to save money and protect the environment.
A rechargeable battery can replace many hundreds to thousands of batteries!

Fast charging + no memory effect

The batteries can be charged with a high charging current, thereby very short charging times are possible.
With the latest battery technology, the memory effect is ruled out even after several partial charges.
