Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Prophet Plus II AC/DC Peak Detection Charger. Charging 4-8 cell NiCd and NiMH
battery packs safely and efficiently has never been so easy. Just select a charge rate of 1, 2 or 4 amps and press
the start button. The charger will automatically stop fast charging when it senses that the pack is fully charged and
enters a safe trickle charge mode to equalize cell voltage and maintain full charge.
A switching AC power supply allows for the small case size and the electric cooling fan keeps the charger's
temperature low for long life.
The beeper can be turned on and off by holding down the start button for quiet charging. Hold down the
"Start" button until the LED quickly flashes five times, signifying the Beeper has been turned off. Hold the
"Start" button down again until the LED flashes and the beeper beeps quickly five times, indicating the beeper
has been turned back on.

Supplying power to the charger
This charger can be powered by connecting it to a standard 110V wall outlet or by using the provided alligator clips
to connect the charger to a 12V DC power source, such as a 12V hobby battery (HAN102), a 12 volt power supply
or an automobile battery. Do not use both an AC & DC source at the same time.
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. If you choose to power the charger with an automobile battery, never do so with the automobile running!
Charging 6- & 7-Cell Ni-Cd or Ni-MH Battery Packs
1. When power is supplied to the charger, the charger will beep, and the LED will flash once.
2. Connect the battery pack to the charger, and the charger will beep again, The LED will repeatedly blink until you
begin the charging process.
Note: For optimum performance, charge 8 cell packs using an AC power source.
3. Select the charge rate based on the batteries capacity rating. See "Charge Times" chart on Page 3.
4. Push the Start button to begin the charging process. The LED will be solid red during the charging process.
5. Once the battery has peaked, the LED will flash, and the beeper will sound for 30 seconds. If the battery is
left connected after 30 seconds, the LED will continue to flash, and the beeper will sound approximately
every 90 seconds.
When the battery has peaked, the Prophet Plus II will automatically transition to Advanced Trickle Charge.
Charging 4- & 8-Cell Ni-Cd or Ni-MH Radio Packs

3. Select a charge rate of either 1 or 2 amps, depending on the receiver pack you are going to charge. We
recommend that you charge 600mAh or lower capacity receiver packs at 1 amp, while you may charge higher
capacity packs at 2 amps.
4. Push the Start button to begin the charging process. The LED will be solid red during the charging process.
5. Once the battery has peaked, the LED will flash, and the beeper will sound for 30 seconds. If the battery is
left connected after 30 seconds, the LED will continue to flash, and the beeper will sound approximately
every 90 seconds.
When the battery has peaked, the Prophet Plus II will automatically transition to Advanced Trickle Charge.
Note: When you connect the charger to a power source, the charger will beep. The charger also beeps
when a battery has been successfully connected. The LED will illuminate to indicate the battery is charging.
Once the battery has peaked, the LED will flash, and the charger will beep repeatedly.
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. You will know that the charger has entered Advanced Trickle Charge when the charger beeps and the
LED continuously flashes.
Re-Peak
Once the battery pack has peaked and is on Advanced Trickle Charge, you can re-peak the battery by simply
pushing the Start button without disconnecting the battery from the charger. Do not re-peak the battery more than
once during a charging process.
