Due to the world-wide shortage of IC chips, Ansmann is re-engineering the the Powerline 8 Charger. The item is currently out of stock. It will take several months and will undoubtedly raise the price by at least 20-30%.

However. . . Here's the solution!

The recently introduced Comfort Smart Battery Charger (see below) has rapidly become our latest and greatest for professional battery charging. It replaces the Powerline 8 charger with a new, sleek design and improved "Perfect Seven" Charging Technology.

"PERFECT SEVEN" CHARGING EXPLAINED

Capacity Quick Test

Immediately after inserting the capacity quick test determines the residual charge of your battery and displays it via the LED for 5 seconds: Red: <25% Yellow: 25-75% Green: >75%

Gentle pre-charge

A low or deep discharged battery is pre-charged with lower power if required. The automatic detection of low-performance batteries can increase the capacity again in many cases

Battery analysis

The battery behavior of the cell is analyzed and evaluated to determine whether it is still reliable or defective

Quick charging

The comfort chargers from Ansmann charge your NiMH batteries with up to 1000 mA quickly and at the same time in a controlled manner

IQ shutdown

Multiple protective mechanisms protect the inserted batteries from overheating and overcharging. So you can sit back comfortably while your battery is recharged to full power

Top-off recharging

This stage ensures that the battery is gently charged to 100% and does not overheat

Trickle charging

The battery is kept in fully charged by means of charging pulses. Gentle 13 mA (AA) and 6.5 mA (AAA) keep the batteries at 100% and do not overcharge them

5V Micro USB input

The charger can be charged on any standard USB, e.g. on a smartphone power supply, laptop, car, power bank etc.
