Featuring German engineering know-how and the highest standards of quality control, the Ansmann Energy 16 Plus Speed battery charger accepts up to twelve AAA/AA NiCd or Ni-MH cells, six C or D sizes and two 9.0 Volt E-blocks. Microprocessor control circuitry performs a quick initial test and diagnosis. A pre-charge follows for batteries that have neared total discharge, or a refresh sequence followed by the usual charge cycle. During charging, individual cell monitoring and a tri-colour LED on each battery slot indicate progress as well as any fault conditions.

• a safety timer.
• reverse polarity and over-charging protection (with trickle charge function).
• detection of faulty or non-rechargeable alkaline cells.

• power input switchable between 120V and 240V AC, suitable for worldwide travel.

Charging currents vary from 60mA for 9V E-block batteries to 400mA for micro AAA 1.5V and 1000mA for Baby C and Mono D sizes.

The Energy 16 comes with a power cord, an instruction manual and a three-year warranty as standard.
