Operating Manual Ultra MFD 150
In the ULTRA MFD 150 you have acquired a mature product with an excellent performance. It incor-
porates the latest semi-conductor technology to provide superior charging characteristics combined
with simple operation and optimum reliability. These features can normally be expected only from much
more expensive units.
The ULTRA MFD 150 represents a reliable method of charging sintered Nickel-Cadmium (NC, Ni-Cd)
packs, Nickel-Metal-Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries, Lithium-Polymer (Li-Po), and LiFePO
4
(LiFe) batteries,
and also lead-gel and lead-acid (Plumbum: Pb) batteries, intended for direct connection to a easily
accessible 220 ~ 240 V AC (50 HZ) mains supply socket near to the charger. It is comprehensively
protected against overload and short-circuit, and requires no maintenance. Separate charge indicator
LED is fitted for the charge output. You have such a perfect power supply for 12V DC Charger and
Mini-drills. This power supply can also be used as a charger for lead batteries.
Note
It is important always to observe the charging instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer, and to
keep to the recommended charge currents and times Do not fast-charge batteries unless the manuf-
acturer states expressly that they are suitable for the high currents which flow during these processes.
When charging new batteries you may also encounter problems with premature charge termination.
Whenever you wish to use a new battery it therefore makes sense to carry out a series of monitored
test charges, so that you can check that the automatic charge termination circuit works correctly and
reliably with your packs, and charges them to full capacity.
