Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Prophet II Sport AC/DC Peak Detection Charger.

Charging 1–8 cell Ni-Cd and Ni-MH battery packs safely and efficiently

has never been so easy. Just select a charge rate of 1, 2, 3 or 4 amps and

press the start button. The charger will automatically stop fast charg-

ing when it senses that the pack is fully charged and enters a safe trickle

charge mode to equalize cell voltage and maintain full charge.

Be sure to read the entire manual to become familiar with the features of

the charger. Failure to understand the features of the charger can cause

serious damage to the charger, battery or cause serious injury and damage

to personal properly.

Never leave the charger unattended during use.

setup

AC Power

To power your charger, connect the AC power cord into a standard 120V AC

wall outlet.

notIcE: Always consult 12V battery collateral materials or Horizon Hobby

before using with sources other than standard 120V AC wall outlet.

DC Power

If you power the charger by using DC power, connect the red (positive) end

of the alligator clips to the red terminal of the DC power source and the

black (negative) end of the alligator clips to the black terminal of the DC

power source.

notIcE: Always make sure that you follow proper polarities at all times.

cautIon: Never connect the AC and DC input cords to an active

power source at the same time. This will void the warranty, cause

product damage and possibly injure the user.

cautIon: If you choose to power your charger with an automobile

battery, never do so with the automobile running as fluctuation in

power can cause product malfunction and possibly injury.

notE: If using an automotive battery as a power source, do not run the

engine.

charging Battery Packs

1. When power is supplied to the charger, the charger will cycle through

each LED then stay solid on.

2. Connect the battery pack to the charger. Use the appropriate adapter if

necessary.

notE: For optimum performance, charge 6–8-cell packs using a DC power

source. With AC power, the charger can only supply up to 2 amps of charge

current.

cautIon: See battery pack manufacturer's or vendors' specific

charging rate instructions for charging. If charging current rate is not

available, we recommend a charge current rate of 1C or less. (e.g., 1

x 1500mAh / 1h = 1500mA or 1.5A). Do not charge cells smaller than

sub-C cells over 2 amps or damage to the charger or battery may

occur.

WarnInG: If at any time during the charge process the battery pack

becomes hot (over 140º F), unplug the battery immediately and

discontinue the charge process.

cautIon: Never re-peak a warm battery as the overcharging can

damage the products and possibly the user.

notIcE: Check with the battery manufacturer to ensure re-peaking is pos-

sible. Failure to follow correct peaking procedure could cause damage to

both the charger and battery packs.

3. Push and hold the Start button to begin the charging process. The LED

will flash during the charging process.

4. Once the battery has peaked, the LED will go back to solid on, and the

beeper will sound for 30 seconds. If the battery is left connected after

30 seconds, the LED will continue to illuminate, and the beeper will

sound approximately every 90 seconds.

When the battery has peaked, the Prophet Sport II will automatically transi-

tion to Advanced Trickle Charge to maintain charge and equalize the cell

voltages for increased run times.

advanced trickle charge

Once the batteries are fully charged, the charger will immediately enter a

pulse trickle charge. This pulse trickle charge will condition the batteries,

extend their life and make certain that they are fully charged when you are

ready to use them.
