The document describes a product with the following features: compatible with various types of batteries, adjustable charging speed, peak detection and safety timer function, automatic startup and status display.
The DuraTrax Onyx 100 is a compact and lightweight charger designed for charging NiCd and NiMH batteries used in radio-controlled models. It features selectable charge currents of 1A, 2A, or 4A (with a 2A limit on AC input) and utilizes peak detection for automatic charge termination. The device includes an auto-trickle function to top off packs to maximum power once the fast charge cycle is complete.

The charger is compatible with nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery types.
The charger uses peak detection intelligence to automatically detect when the battery voltage has reached its peak.
No, you must never connect the charger's AC and DC input connectors to any power source at the same time.
A built-in backup safety timer will automatically stop the fast charge cycle.
