AC/DC D48 Charger
Congratulations with your new compact
and durable Team Orion AC/DC D48
charger. The D48 charger uses adjustable
current from 0.5 till 6.5 Amps to charge
from 4 up to 8 cell battery packs. The D48
offers the special feature to charge from a
12-13.8 Volt battery / power supply or from
220-240 Volts direct. The adjustable
current feature is used in combination with
the Delta Peak cut-off system. The Team
Orion Delta Peak system delivers
maximum driving time and energy with
efficient battery use.
Warning
Charging NiCad or NiMH batteries with high current produces a large amount of gas and
thus strong gas pressure within the cells. With old or defective batteries, this can cause an
explosion of the battery cells. Therefore always maintain a safe distance from the charging
and never charge batteries in the vicinity of small children. Charging batteries with less than
6 cells or with higher supply voltage causes greater heating of the charger. Here you
should reduce the charging current since it could cause overheating or damage to the final
stage of the device. When charging from an automobile battery, avoid short circuiting the
charging terminals with the automobile chassis. In the battery charger the positive terminal
of the supply voltage is connected directly to the positive terminal of the charging terminal;
on contact with the automobile chassis, this would cause a short circuit of the automobile
battery. This charger is for use only from 4 up to 8 cell battery packs.
Do not open the charger! High voltage danger!

3 steps how to use the Team Orion AC/DC48 charger
Step 1 - Make your choice of power supply:
a) Charging with AC: Check if the Coltage of the main power outlet is 220-240V/50Hz.
If the Voltage is correct, connect the power cable to the back of the charger and connect
after to the mains power: if done correct the power LED will switch on.
b) Charging with DC: Connect the connector into the back of the charger. Connect the
crocodile clips to a fully charged 12V car battery or 12-13.8 V power supply, the red cable
to the positive (+) and the black to the negative (-) connection. The power LED will lighten
up if connected correctly.
Never use the AC and DC features together,
this will damage your charger immediately!
Step 2 - Connect the charger with the charge leads to the battery pack that needs to be
charged, be sure to connect red (+) and black (-) correctly.
Step 3 - Set the charger to the desired current and push the start button once. The charger
will start charging the battery.
