Charging AA
rechargeable batteries
To charge AA batteries, simply slide open
the unit and slot the batteries into the cradle
according to the polarity shown in the
picture below. Due to the powerchimp 4A’s
independent charging feature, you can charge
up to four batteries at the same time and the
4 LED charging indicators will tell you when
each battery is fully charged (Please see LED
charging indicators for details of how the
lights work).
Charging AAA
rechargeable batteries
using the AA to AAA
battery converter
If you wish to recharge 4 x AAA batteries at
the same time, the kit contains an AA to AAA
battery converter that is stored securely within
a small compartment (6) at the base of the
powerchimp 4A unit (1). With the lights on the
top, simply place your thumb over the small
notch at the bottom of the unit and lift the small
flap. Tip the battery converter out from the
compartment. Remove the 4 x AA batteries
from the cradle. Insert the converter into
the top of the battery tray along the positive
terminal and then insert your AAA batteries.
Always store the converter in the compartment
when not in use.
Please note: AAA rechargeable batteries are
NOT included.
Charging different size
rechargeable batteries
at the same time
You do not even need to charge the same make
of battery at the same time as the powerchimp
4A device will charge any make or model of AA
or AAA rechargable batteries simultaneously
using the 2 x AAA to AA battery adaptor tubes
provided (5).
Please note: AAA rechargeable batteries are
