Compact dual-channel USB charger Fenix ARE-D2 for Li-ion and NiMH / NiCd rechargeable batteries. When a charged Li-ion rechargeable battery is inserted, it also functions as a backup power source (PowerBank) for charging USB devices (torches, mobile phones, MP3 players and others). Thanks to its compact dimensions, the charger is particularly suitable for travel. It automatically recognises the inserted battery type and selects the optimal charging algorithm. The charger is equipped with an LCD display that shows the current voltage of the rechargeable batteries, the type of batteries being charged and other information.

Each charging slot is monitored independently, so it is possible to charge batteries of different sizes, capacities and even different chemistries at the same time (Li-Ion and NiMH / NiCd can be charged simultaneously). For each slot, you can select a charging current of 500 - 1000 - 2000 mA. The highest charging current can only be selected when charging a single rechargeable battery.

The charger can charge Li-ion rechargeable batteries of the following types: 26650, 22650, 25500, 21700, 18650, 17670, 18700, 14650, 18500, 18490, 18350, 17500, 14500, 16340, RCR123 and NiMH rechargeable batteries of sizes AAA, AA, C. The charger can also charge Li-ion rechargeable batteries 21700 and 20700 with protection electronics.

USB charger specifications

• Two independently monitored charging channels, CC / CV charging algorithm.
• Three charging current levels - 500 mA, 1000 mA and 2000 mA.
• Charging current can be selected for each channel separately. For NiMH / NiCd rechargeable batteries, the maximum charging current is 1000 mA. A current of 2000 mA can be used when only one slot is in use.
• The charger can charge, for example, these li-ion rechargeable batteries: 26650, 18650 li-ion, 17670, 18500, 14500, 16340, RCR123. Quality rechargeable AA and AAA batteries can also be charged.
• Protection against reverse insertion of batteries, short circuit, overcharging and excessive discharge.
• Charger weight 92 grams.
• Dimensions 123 x 62 x 30 millimetres.

Packaging contents

The package includes the charger and a USB cable.

Charging rechargeable batteries
Connect the charger to USB. The display will light up. After inserting the batteries, the battery type and charging status will be displayed on the screen. The button is used to switch the charging current in the following order: 1000 mA - 500 mA - 2000 mA. The charging current can be selected during the first 8 seconds of charging (the battery icon on the display flashes). Charging USB devices (use as a backup USB power source) Insert a charged rechargeable battery into the charger (into slot B). Connect the USB cable to the output USB connector and connect the device to be charged. Hold button B for 2 seconds to activate the powerbank function in low current mode (100 mA). Holding it again activates full current output. During charging (for example, a mobile phone), USB 5V will appear on the display.

Warning
Do not charge Li-ion cells that have undergone excessive discharge (below 2V). When using the charger, follow safety guidelines. We recommend using quality rechargeable batteries. It is not intended for charging LiFePO4 rechargeable batteries.
