Maha Battery Chargers MH-C204W Improvementsimprovements on an already intelligent battery charger When the light turns green, your rechargeable batteries will be nearly 98% charged so you can get the most of the high capacity rechargeable batteries currently available. The Maha MH-C204W battery charger has a 5th generation PowerEx microprocessor that features an unique four stage charging process:

-Ramp-up
-Rapid Charging
-Top-off charging
-Maintenance Charging
The Ramp-up jolts the rechargeable batteries if needed to revive old batteries. This jolting feature is a series of carefully timed high current pulses that can activate both new and inactive rechargeable batteries.

The MH-C204W battery charger is designed with an intermediate, medium current, top-off charge so that the rechargeable battery will retain most of its charge.

The Maintenance Charging feature on the MH-C204W Maha battery charger is an extremely low current pulse charging that gives the rechargeable batteries a brief pulse charge periodically to ensure the rechargeable batteries are charged but not overcharged. This feature actually allows you to leave your rechargeable batteries in the MH-C204W battery charger while plugged in - without any fear of over-charging your rechargeable batteries.

CONDITIONER One of the most impressive features on the MH-C204W battery charger is its battery conditioning ability, which will rejuvenate your NiMH rechargeable batteries to their best performance by subjecting them to a automatic discharge / charge conditioning cycle. The MH-C204W charger is also capable of reviving many old NiMH batteries that you once were un-chargeable by other battery chargers. NiMH rechargeable batteries that were ready for the recycle bin may be brought back to life using the MAHA PowerEx MH-C204W conditioning feature.

DUAL BATTERY CHARGING CIRCUITS
The intelligent MH-C204W battery charger features two independent banks, able to perform different functions simultaneously This means you can charge two unique sets of two rechargeable batteries. You can put two NiMH AA rechargeable batteries in one bank and two Nimh AAA rechargeable batteries in the other bank. IT'S LIKE HAVING TWO BATTERY CHARGERS in one!

RAPID CHARGER
The state-of-the-art Hi-Tech MH-C204W Battery Charger, charger can rapid charge your NiMH ( Nickel Metal Hydride ) AA / AAA rechargeable batteries with the precision that only microprocessor technology can provide. Designed with two independent circuits. You can charge either one or two sets of rechargeable batteries totally independent of each set.

CONDITIONER

How long does it take to charge batteries usng the MH-C204W?
Generally around 1 hour for 2 AA or AAA batteries and 2 hours for 4 AA or AAA batteries.

Will it charge higher capacity batteries?
Yes. As a matter of fact, this charger was designed not only to charge any capacity of NiMH batteries, it will charge with up to a 98%+ efficiency. An industry first.

Will the MH-C204W charge the new ENELOOP rechargeable batteries from SANYO?
Yes it will and with absolute precision. The MH-C204W has been throughly tested with the new SANYO ENELOOP rechargeable batteries.

Can I use the MH-C204W charger to charge 1800 mah Batteries?
The literature that came with it said not to use the MH-C204W to charge batteries less than 2000mAh. You can charge the 1800mAh rechargeable batteries just fine in the MH-C204W battery charger if you charge 4 batteries at a time. Actually the instructions say not to charge any rechargeable batteries that are less than 2000mAh when charging 2 rechargeable batteries only. If you only charge 2 AA rechargeable batteries at a time then the batteries must be at least 2000mAh or higher to prevent any damage to the batteries.

Do the rechargeable batteries get warm while charging?
Yes, rechargeable batteries will get warm while charging and this is normal. More heat may be noticed when you are charging 2 batteries rather than four due to the higher charge rate. Some of the heat you may notice during charging is actually from the built-in power supply. However the MH-C204W battery charger has a built-in temperature termination sensor similar to the MH-C401FS battery charger that monitors your rechargeable batteries and makes sure that they are charged safely and completely.
**Please note that there are some other brands of battery chargers on the market that boost cool charging. Naturally your batteries will stay cool if they are only charged to 80 percent of their rated capacity. In other words if you were charging 2200 mAh batteries with these other so called cool chargers, and they were only charging to 80 percent your batteries rated capapcity, your rechargeable batteries would be charging up with an average capacity of 1760 mAh - you would be losing 440 mAh of your rechargeable batteries rated capacity and naturally your rechargeable batteries could fail due to the inefficient charging.
