Thank you for purchasing the
Maha battery charger. Read these instructions carefully and
thoroughly before operating this unit. IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS. READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
GENERAL
PRECAUTIONS
- Do not charge any other chemistry
of battery cells in addition to NiCD and NiMH.
- Do not expose the unit to rain or
moisture due to risk of fire.
- Do not operate the charger if it
appears damaged in any way.
- Always place the battery cells
with positive tip facing top. Incorrect polarity may cause fire
or explosion.
- Always use the supplied AC adapter
or cigarette lighter adapter (optional). The cigarette lighter
adapter includes a fuse. CAUTION: for continued protection
against risk of fire, replace only with the same type and rating
of fuse.
- Do not allow the battery terminals
to become shorted.
- To reduce the risk of damage to
the AC power adapter, pull by connector rather than the cord
when disconnecting.
- Use of an attachment not
recommended by or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
- When using the optional car kit,
vehicle should never be started while the charger is in use.
Damage to the charger could occur.

CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
When using at home / office
Plug in the supplied AC power
adapter into a 110V 60Hz outlet, without the charger
attached.
Connect the charger to the
connector-end of the AC power adapter.
You are now ready to place the
batteries into the charger. Keep in mind that the charger consists
of two independent circuitries. It is like having two separate
chargers. Therefore, you can put a set of two batteries at bank 1
and 2, while placing a different set at the other. You must
place either 2 or 4 batteries.
After you have inserted the
batteries, you can either charge or condition them.
If you wish to charge, simply leave the batteries in the charger.
If you wish to condition, press the button located
in the front of the charger. Now, simply wait until the
appropriate lights show to indicate a full charge.
WHAT IS CONDITIONING?
The conditioning feature rejuvenates your batteries and will
eliminate the memory effect on certain batteries. It discharges
and recharges your batteries. When the discharge is complete, the
charger will automatically return to rapid charge mode..
WARM BATTERIES?
It is normal for NiMH & NiCD batteries to become warm
while been rapid charged. Temperature may reach as high as 131
degree F.

When the green lights are shown, the
batteries are ready for usage.
When using in a vehicle
(Optional Car Kit
Required)
Make sure your vehicle’s output
voltage is between 9V to 15V, and is capable of supporting a 500mA
current drain. If you have any concerns regarding this, refer to
your vehicle’s owner’s manual.
- Plug in the supplied cigarette
lighter adapter into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter, without
the charger attached. Verify that the green power LED on
the cigarette lighter adapter is illuminated. If LED does not
light, your vehicle may need to be running in order to energize
the cigarette lighter, or the inline fuse may need to be replaced.
- Connect the charger to the
connector-end of the cigarette lighter adapter.
- Follow step four and five on the
section "When using at home / office"..............Find
