Indoor battery charger Ansmann ACS 48

The ANSMANN ACS48 indoor battery charger is intended for charging 4–8 cell NiMH battery packs with a nominal voltage range of 4.8 V to 9.6 V. It works from mains power (100–240 V AC, 50–60 Hz) and provides clear LED indication of charging status and error conditions. The package includes an adapter cable with a Tamiya socket and eight standard output plugs for flexible connection options.

Advantages

The charger offers automatic polarity and short-circuit protection and supports worldwide mains voltages, making it suitable for home use. A red LED indicates steady charging; a flashing red LED signals reversed polarity or a defective/shorted battery. Compact and lightweight design ensures easy storage and minimal space usage.

Suitable for

• Charging NiMH battery packs with 4 to 8 cells (4.8–9.6 V)
• Hobby batteries for RC models, toys and similar devices
• Home or workshop use with worldwide mains (100–240 V, 50–60 Hz)

How to use

Connect the charger to a suitable mains outlet (100–240 V, 50–60 Hz). Attach the adapter cable or one of the supplied output plugs to the battery pack, ensuring correct polarity.

If the indicator flashes red, disconnect the battery and check for reversed polarity or a defective/shorted pack.

Recommendations

Use only NiMH battery packs within the specified 4.8–9.6 V range. Do not attempt to charge other battery chemistries. Always check connector polarity before connecting and avoid charging visibly damaged or swollen battery packs.
