FEATURES

Radio Shack is a registered trademark used by Tandy Corporation.

Your Radio Shack Universal Battery

Pack Conditioner/Charger uses ad-

vanced technology to condition and

recharge 6- to 12-volt rechargeable

battery packs from camcorders, cel-

lular phones, radio-controlled vehi-

cles, and more.

To prevent your rechargeable battery

pack from losing its ability to fully re-

charge, you must completely dis-

charge it (condition it) about once

every 10 times you recharge it. Nor-

mal battery chargers can only re-

charge a battery pack. Your Radio

er — lets you con-

dition your rechargeable battery pack

for the longest life and best perfor-

mance.

Reversible Polarit

Switch — lets

you quickly reverse the charging po-

larity of an incorrectly positioned bat-

tery pack.

Automatic Switchin

— automati-

cally switches to the charging mode

when discharging is complete.

Automatic Volta

e Sensor — auto-

matically determines the maximum

voltage a connected battery pack will

be charged to.

LED Char

hts — show you

the battery pack’s charging condi-

tion.

OPERATION

To prevent your rechargeable battery

pack from losing its ability to fully re-

charge, you must condition it (by

completely discharging it) about

once every 10 times you recharge it.

To charge or condition a recharge-

able battery pack, you must:

1. Properly mount or connect the

battery pack to the conditioner/

charger

2. Apply AC or DC power to the

conditioner/charger

3. Recharge or condition the bat-

tery pack.

These steps are explained in the fol-

lowing sections.

MOUNTING/

CONNECTING A

RECHARGEABLE

BATTERY PACK

You can mount/connect battery

packs with bottom or end contacts, or

with connectors.

Warnin

•

Non

-rechargeable battery packs

do not fit into the conditioner/

charger’s charging contacts. Do

not try to connect a non-

rechargeable battery pack

because it might damage the

conditioner/charger.

• Do not try to charge non-

rechargeable battery packs

because they could explode.

• Use only one set of the battery

contacts at one time or you

might short the conditioner/

charger or the battery pack.

Notes:

• A rechargeable battery pack can

be properly charged only when

its contacts correctly match the

conditioner/charger’s contacts.

• Not all battery packs look like

the ones shown here. Look for

the battery pack’s + and – con-

tacts to make the connections.

• Your local Radio Shack store

sells replacement battery packs.

Bottom Contact Battery

Packs

Some rechargeable battery packs

have charging contacts located on

the bottom, such as:

Camcorder batteries: Sharp, Sony,

Panasonic, JVC, Canon, etc.

Cellular phone batteries: Motorola,

Ericsson, Nokia, etc.Charging Contacts

23-250.fm Page 4 Friday, August 6, 1999 2:09 PM

Follow these steps to mount this type

of battery pack on the conditioner/

charger.

1. Pull the battery stopper’s latch

on the right front of the condi-

tioner/charger, then pull open

the stopper.

2. To mount a wide battery pack on

the conditioner/charger, position

the attached battery guide so its

To mount a narrow battery pack,

position the battery guide so its

edge faces in.

3. Place the battery pack on the

conditioner/charger so its con-

tacts overhang, then move the

battery contacts (A and B) up or

down, left or right until they

touch the battery pack’s con-

tacts.

4. Push down on the battery stop-

per’s tab and slide it outward

until it stops (about 3/4inch) to

make room for the battery pack.

5. Close the battery stopper and

make sure the latch locks into

place.

6. To secure the battery pack, push

down on the battery stopper’s

tab and slide it inward until it

touches the battery pack.

7. Place the temperature sensor on

the battery pack. The tempera-

ture sensor’s magnet keeps the

sensor fixed on the battery pack.

If the battery pack’s temperature

gets too high after a long

charge, the temperature sensor

detects it and the conditioner/

charger stops charging the bat-

tery pack.

End Contact Battery Packs

Some rechargeable battery packs

have charging contacts located on

the top and bottom ends, such as the

Hitachi camcorder rechargeable bat-

tery pack.

Follow these steps to connect this

type of battery pack to the condition-

er/charger using the supplied alliga-

tor clip adapter.

1. Clip the red alligator clip around

the battery pack’s positive (+)

terminal, and the black alligator

clip around the battery pack’s

negative (–) terminal.

Note: To use the alligator clips,

press open the jaws then slowly

release the jaws around the ter-

minal. When removing the clips,

press open the jaws. Do not pull

on the wires.

2. Insert the adapter’s plug into the

rectangular socket on the end of

the conditioner/charger.

Warnin

: Never leave the

adapter plugged into the condi-

tioner/charger when a battery

pack is mounted on the

charger’s contacts because they

might touch. This could short the

battery pack, damage it or the

charger, and cause a fire.

3. Place the temperature sensor on

the battery pack. The tempera-

ture sensor’s magnet keeps the

sensor fixed on the battery pack.

(illus)

23-250.fm Page 6 Friday, August 6, 1999 2:09 PM

If the battery pack’s temperature

gets too high after a long

charge, the temperature sensor

detects it and the conditioner/

charger stops charging the bat-

tery pack.

Connector Type Battery

Packs

Some rechargeable battery packs

have a connector, such as 6- to 12-

volt rechargeable battery packs for

radio-controlled vehicles or cordless

telephones.

Connect this type of battery pack to

the conditioner/charger by plugging

the battery pack’s connector into the

conditioner/charger’s rectangular

socket (on the end).

Place the temperature sensor on the

battery pack. The temperature sen-

sor’s magnet keeps the sensor fixed

on the battery pack.

If the battery pack’s temperature gets

too high after a long charge, the tem-

perature sensor detects it and the

conditioner/charger stops charging

the battery pack.

CONNECTING POWER

Caution: Never connect AC or DC

power to the conditioner/charger

when no battery pack is connected.

Using Standard AC Power

Follow these steps to power the con-

ditioner/charger from a standard AC

outlet using the supplied AC adapter.

1. Connect the AC adapter’s barrel

plug to the conditioner/charger’s

12-18V DC jack.

2. Plug the adapter into a standard

AC outlet.

Cautions:

• The supplied AC adapter sup-

plies 18 volts DC and delivers up

to 800 milliamps. Its plug prop-

erly fits the conditioner/charger’s

12-18V DC jack and it has a posi-

tive center pin. Using an adapter

that does not meet these specifi-

cations could damage the bat-

tery pack conditioner/charger or

the adapter.

(illus)

23-250.fm Page 7 Friday, August 6, 1999 2:09 PM

• Always plug the AC adapter into

the conditioner/charger before

you plug it into a standard AC

outlet, and always unplug it from

the outlet before you unplug it

from the conditioner/charger.

Using Your Vehicle’s Battery

Power

Follow these steps to power the con-

ditioner/charger from your vehicle’s

battery using the supplied DC adapt-

er.

Note: When using vehicle battery

power, you cannot charge 12-volt re-

chargeable battery packs.

1. Connect the DC adapter’s small

barrel plug to the conditioner/

charger’s

12-18V DC jack.

Caution: Before plugging the

DC adapter’s cigarette-lighter

plug into the cigarette-lighter’s

socket, make sure the tip is

securely attached to the plug.

2. Plug the adapter’s cigarette

lighter plug into your vehicle’s

cigarette-lighter socket.

Note: You can remove the cover

from the adapter’s back so you

can connect another device to

your vehicle’s battery power.

Cautions:

• The supplied DC cord sup-

plies 12 volts, its small barrel

plug properly fits the condi-

tioner/charger’s 12-18V DC

jack and it has a positive cen-

ter pin. Using a DC cord that

does not meet these specifi-

cations could damage the bat-

tery pack conditioner/charger

or the adapter.

• Always plug the DC cord into

the conditioner/charger before

you plug it into your vehicle’s

cigarette-lighter socket, and

always unplug it from the cig-

arette-lighter socket before

you unplug it from the condi-

tioner/charger.

RECHARGING/

CONDITIONING A

RECHARGEABLE

BATTERY PACK

Charging a Rechargeable

Battery Pack

After you mount/connect the battery

pack to the conditioner/charger,

place the temperature sensor on the

battery, and connect the conditioner/

charger to power, the following se-

quence occurs automatically.

1. The conditioner/charger sounds

one long beep to verify power is

on.

Note: The beep sounds continu-

ously if you install a battery pack

with the wrong polarity or if the

output terminals are shorted.

• If this happens with a 6V or

7.2V battery pack, set the

polarity switch to the other

position.

When you change the polarity

switch position with power on,

the conditioner/charger beeps

once and the green CHARGE

indicator lights.

• If this happens with a 9.6V or

12V battery pack, you must

remove and properly reinstall

the battery pack.

2. The auto sensor checks the bat-

tery pack voltage and the red

CHARGE indicator flashes a

specific number of times that

corresponds to the battery

pack’s maximum voltage.

Note: This indication is accu-

rate only when there is a good

connection between the charger

and the battery pack. If the bat-

tery pack is not properly

mounted, the battery’s voltage

might not be correctly identified.

23-250.fm Page 9 Friday, August 6, 1999 2:09 PM

If you feel the battery’s voltage is

not correctly identified:

• Remove the battery pack from

the charger and make sure

both the battery pack’s and

the charger’s contacts are

clean.

• Mount the battery pack again

and re-adjust the charger’s

contacts (if necessary) to

make sure there is a good

connection between the

charger and the battery pack.

Repeat this procedure until the

charger properly identifies the

battery pack.

3. While the battery pack is charg-

ing, the CHARGE indicators light

steadily to indicate the corre-

sponding battery pack’s charge.

Note: When the battery pack’s

voltage is too low or the battery

pack is damaged, the condi-

tioner/charger could incorrectly

indicate the battery pack’s initial

condition. For this reason, let the

battery pack recharge for about

10 minutes before reading the

CHARGE indicators.

4. When the battery pack is fully

charged (the red indicator lights

steadily), the conditioner/

charger beeps three times (two

short and one long beep).

After you finish charging a recharge-

able battery pack, disconnect the

power cord from the power source

first, then dismount the battery pack

from the conditioner/charger.

Conditioning a Battery Pack

To prevent your battery pack from

losing its ability to fully recharge, you

must condition it (by completely dis-

charging it) about once every 10

times you recharge it.

Note: You do not need to condition a

Lead-Acid or Nickel Metal-Hydride

rechargeable battery pack.

1. Mount/connect the battery pack

on the conditioner/charger.

2. Connect power. The conditioner/

charger sounds one short and

one long beep.
