In addition to the standard charging, conditioning and discharging, the WizardOne charger- analyzer also offers two unusual operations modes. The “Break-In” mode allows the user to input the capacity of the battery and performs a “forming” charge designed to properly break- in new batteries. The “Cycle” mode allows user to charge and discharge batteries consecutively while storing the capacity for up to 15 cycles.

It also armed with additional patented termination algorithms found in other Maha chargers. The unit can be operated in a “basic” and “advanced” mode. In the basic mode, user merely needs to insert the batteries with no further key press. The charger will select the appropriate settings automatically, making it suitable for the casual users.

High Power NiMH Batteries

We receive many emails from folks wondering if their new cameras were defective because they only got 20 or so shots before the batteries died. Today's digital cameras are extremely high-drain devices, the batteries must power a large color LCD, a motorized zoom lens, the flash, the autofocus system, the CCD imager and associated hardware. We recommend the use of high-capacity NiMH rechargeable batteries. Please check these out.




Powerex/Maha 2200mAh NiMH
