BHe Intelligent NiMH/NiCd Battery Pack Charger
AC Adaptors and True Chargers.
On the left is an AC Adaptor that comes with a stock China made AEG. It is converted to function as a very simple charger. At the right is the prototype of a NiMH/NiCD Intelligent Batttery Pack Charger with Renovate Function.
As a dedicated battery pack charger it is able to charge a battery more efficiently, safely and faster. Although not printed on the charger, the intelligent features refer to its ability to monitor the charge status of the battery for a 100% charge.
In airsoft, 80% of batteries are Ni-Cad and Ni-MH with capacities between 1200mAh to 2,000mAh so with a 1,000mA output charger charging time is between 1-1/2 to 2 hours. An additional 1 hour trickle charge for full charging to 100%. At this slower rate, battery life is lengthened to as much as 500 cycles.
