How does a smart NiMH charger work?
Contrary to appearances, charging the battery is a very complex, multi-stage process that requires the use of appropriate equipment. When using a conventional charger without a charging management system, it is necessary to manually supervise the charging process because there is a risk of damaging the charged batteries. For this purpose, charger manufacturers have developed a number of necessary technical solutions that enable safe charging of NiMH batteries and accumulators. In smart chargers, the control system includes a microprocessor that supervises the battery charging procedure in real time. When the batteries are fully charged, this information is indicated by a message on the LCD display. Then the charger goes into the state of maintaining the target voltage on the batteries. Thanks to this, you can easily avoid the possibility of battery damage due to overcharging.
Perfect solutions for charging multiple batteries at the same time
The Botland store offers universal chargers from everActive that use a microprocessor system that supervises the charging process. Depending on your needs, you can choose a charger equipped with 2, 4, 8, 12 or 16 slots for AA or AAA batteries. If you are an avid modeler and your remote-controlled aircraft is equipped with many battery packs, then a very good solution will be the NiMH Redox Beta charger with a built-in balancer, which ensures correct and even charging of individual packs.
