Caricabatterie Ansmann Powerline Vario X USB

The Ansmann Powerline Vario X USB is a compact, travel-friendly battery charger designed to charge a wide range of rechargeable batteries: 3.6V/3.7V or 7.2V/7.4V Li‑Ion/Li‑Po packs and pairs of 1.2V NiMH AA or AAA cells. Movable contacts adapt to different pack shapes and sizes, and the USB input allows operation from any USB power source such as a mains USB adapter, car adapter or powerbank.

Advantages

The charger automatically detects battery voltage and polarity to prevent short circuits and incorrect insertion, then starts microcontroller-controlled charging immediately. For NiMH cells it switches to pulse maintenance charging after full charge to keep batteries ready for use. An LCD shows charge status in 25% steps for simple monitoring. Its compact size and USB power make it convenient for travelling and versatile use.

Suitable for

• Charging 3.6V/3.7V Li‑Ion or 7.2V/7.4V Li‑Po/Li‑Ion rechargeable battery packs
• Charging pairs of 1.2V NiMH AA or AAA round cells
• On‑the‑go charging via USB mains adapters, car USB outlets or powerbanks

How to use

Connect the Powerline Vario X to a suitable USB power source (mains USB adapter, car USB port or powerbank). Adjust the movable contacts so they make firm contact with the poles of the battery pack or insert two NiMH cells in the designated positions. The charger will automatically detect voltage and polarity; charging will begin and progress is shown on the LCD in 25% increments. When charging of NiMH cells is complete, the charger will switch to pulse maintenance mode.

Recommendations

Use a USB power source with at least 1 A output. Avoid charging damaged or swollen Li‑Ion/Li‑Po packs. For long storage, keep NiMH cells charged periodically using the charger’s maintenance function and disconnect the charger once charging is finished if not required for maintenance.
