Model Airplane News, Dec 2001 by Chianelli, Chris

Proper battery maintenance is particularly important for the small cells that power backyard and park flyers. The key to that is a good charger. OFNA's new Charger King Ck-201 is a multipurpose AC/DC charger that is well suited to a variety of charging and discharging tasks on packs of I to 10 cells. It is adjustable from 0.5 to 5 amps in fast-charge mode, and it has a sensor that automatically detects the cell type and number when the pack is connected to it. The autoselectable discharge rate varies between 0.3 and 2.5 amps. The Ck-201 has built-in voltage minimum and overload, overheating and reverse-polarity protection. A single switch allows the user to select among fast charge, trickle charge, discharge and cycle modes. The Ck-201 is available from OFNA for $299.
