CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
For new NiMH batteries, it is necessary to cycle them three to five times
before they reach peak performance. Battery cycling can be achieved by
using the batteries completely and recharging them.

MH-C490F
Stealth 2 Hour / 9 Volt / 4 Bank Charger
1. Plug in the supplied AC power adapter into an outlet matching the
input requirement indicated on the label, without the charger
attached.
2. Connect the charger (without batteries installed) to the connector-end
of the AC power adapter.
Thank you for purchasing the PowerEx battery charger.
Read these instructions carefully and thoroughly before
operating this unit.
3. Place the batteries into the charger. You may put 1 to 4 batteries in the
charger. Use only 7.2V, 8.4V or 9.6V NiMH batteries. You may mix
different voltage of batteries in the charger. See illustration below for
proper polarity and insertion instruction.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. READ AND
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
•
•
Do not charge battery chemistry other than NiMH.
––When not using with Maha 9V batteries, verify batteries can accept
90mA quick charge. Batteries incapable of accepting a rapid charge
may explode and result in fire.
•
Refer to illustration under charging instructions for insertion of
batteries.
•
•
•
Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture due to risk of fire.
For indoor use only.
Do not operate the charger if it appears damaged in any way. Always
use the supplied AC adapter.
•
•
Do not allow the battery terminals to become shorted.
To reduce the risk of damage to the AC power adapter, always pull by
connector.
WARNING: NEVER USE ALKALINE OR RECHARGEABLE
ALKALINE BATTERIES.
It is possible for certain batteries to be charged slightly slower
than others. It is normal for certain banks to finish faster or
slower than others.
