Hitec CG-340 DC Field Battery Charger

This simple to use charger will peak charge most popular NiCD and NiMH battery packs. The CG-340 is an advanced charger design capable of charging batteries of high capacity and voltage.

CG-340 Capabilities and Specifications;
- Peak charges NiCD and Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) hobby batteries
- 12 Volt D/C, minimum 4amp input power source required
- Features the exclusive Hitec "No False Peak" circuitry
- Shuts down automatically after 120 minutes
- Wide input voltage range (DC 9-13.9 Volts)
- Automatic Nicad trickle charge
- User adjustable charging rates
- Handy built-in wire holder
- MOS-FET drive control
- Delta Peak cutoff

Pack Size and Charge Rates:

There are three options to select from,
 4-16 cell NiMh pack charge rate selectable from 0.2 through 1.5amps
 4 - 5 cell Nicad pack charge rate selectable from 0.2 through 1.5amps
 6-10 cell Nicad pack charge rate selectable from 0.2 through 3.0amps
11-12 cell Nicad pack charge rate selectable from 0.2 through 2.7amps
13-14 cell Nicad pack charge rate selectable from 0.2 through 2.3amps
15-16 cell Nicad pack charge rate selectable from 0.2 through 2.0amps

Cell Capacity Limitations;-
The CG-340 can charge the smallest 50ma cells up through larger motor battery cells of up to 3000ma. We do suggest for optimum performance of your high capacity 1200ma sub "c" and higher Nicad motor batteries, you use a charger capable of at least a 5amp charge rate.

In Series Charging;-
One of the CG-340's strong advantages is the ability to charge up to 16 cells at a time. While few modelers use such large packs, the real strength is to charge two or even three smaller packs in series at the same time
