Universal Battery Charger & Analyzer
The professional's choice for complete battery & battery pack support both at home & in the field

by MAHA PowerEx / Iowa Thin Film (mhc777plusII)

The PowerEx Universal charger adapts to fit virtually all brands of NiMh, Li-Ion, NiCd, Li-Po battery packs for camcorders, radios, cameras, phones & more. External cradles are also provided for charging AAA, AA, C, & D sizes.

Perhaps the most complete charger

The PowerEx MHC777 Plus offers charging control & battery pack compatibility beyond most other universal chargers. It supports a wide range of battery voltages from 1.2 to 14.4v.

This charger does not use special adaptor plates, but rather provides a simple "floating contact pin" system for you to place the spring-loaded contact pins in alignment with your specific battery pack. A magnet in the base holds your battery pack securely in place.

We include the battery holders to charge AAA, AA, C, & D cells from this charger using the alligator clip cable. Very handy to have!

Features include digital display of voltage, capacity & time throughout each cycle, & microprocessor control of Delta-V, Zero Delta V, & temperature compensation. Charges at selectable rates up to 800mA.
Charge, discharge, & analyze your battery packs.

Includes AC & DC input adaptors for use at home, on the road, or with a solar power kit.

How is this equipment useful?

First, the universal charger is designed with advanced circuitry that will ultimately take better care of your batteries than the AC charger that the manufacturer included with your camera kit. The manufacturers charger is designed to simply apply a fixed voltage until a threshold is reached. The universal will charge, discharge, condition, & analyze capacity based on a number of factors including variable voltage, temperature, & time.

Second, the MHC777Plus offers a DC input option, which enables you to charge your batteries from DC power sources without using an inverter. The DC CLA plug will plug into a solar panel or portable 12V solar kit just as easily as it will into your vehicle dashboard. If you plan to charge camcorder or camera packs while in the field, this universal charger is a natural choice for use with portable solar battery packs. Note that you will only be able to charge at the maximum rate of your solar panel output, so if you want full performance, please use a hybrid solar pack that includes battery storage.

Choose the charger that pampers your battery packs whever your work & play takes you.
