Fenix ARE-A4 Four Bay Li-ion/NiMH Battery Charger
The Fenix ARE-A4 is the replacement for the best selling ARE-C2+ and has now been upgraded to be able to charge 21700 lithium-ion batteries as well as the same batteries as before. It features four independent charging channels capable of charging a range of lithium-ion and NiMH/NiCd batteries.
The ARE-A4 is suitable for charging the following batteries;
NiMH/NiCd 1.2 V batteries:
AAA, AA and C cell
Lithium-ion 3.6/3.7 V batteries:
10440, 14500, 16340/RCR123A, 18650, 26650* and 21700*
Note: *Can only charge two batteries of this type in the outer bays.
Because each charging bay is independent you can charge four different battery types at once. While connected to the power supply the LCD screen will display the battery level of the inserted battery via the battery status bar and also display the battery chemistry (Li-ion / Ni-MH).
The button above each charging bay changes the charging stats for that bay, cycling through battery voltage, charging current and charging time with each press. A long press will turn off the LCD screen off.
Supplied with a UK mains adaptor.
Note: Always use in accordance with instruction manual and read before first use.
