Charging batteries
Danger!
Charge exclusively rapid rechargable batteries
of the types "Ni-Cd" and "Ni-MH".
NEVER recharge batteries of other types or
non-rechargable batteries. These are not suit-
able for recharging. This could irreparably
damage the Rapid Battery Charger and the
inserted batteries.
Due to the charging current, only batteries
with appropriate capacities may be charged:
Ni-MH batteries:
- AA min. 1750 mAh/max. 2700 mAh
- AAA min. 750 mAh/max. 1000 mAh
Ni-Cd batteries:
- AA min. 700 mAh/max. 1000 mAh
- AAA min. 300 mAh/max. 600 mAh
Should an attempt be made to charge batteries with
significantly lower capacities, the batteries could be
destroyed. There is also the danger of a fire as well
as an explosion!
