Valken 8.4V-9.6V NiMh Smart Charger (USA)

Valken 8.4V–9.6V NiMH Airsoft Battery Smart Charger

The Valken 8.4V–9.6V NiMH Airsoft Battery Charger is a smart charging solution designed for compatible 7–8 cell NiMH and NiCd airsoft battery packs. It charges at 600mA and connects to compatible battery packs using a Small Tamiya connector.

Built-in Delta Peak Detection automatically stops the main charging cycle when the battery reaches a full charge. The charger then switches to a 200mA trickle current after 5 hours. A status LED provides an easy visual indication of the charging process, with red indicating charging and green indicating full charge.

For additional protection, the charger includes reverse-polarity and short-circuit protection. Its compact polymer housing measures just 75mm × 52mm × 28mm, making it a straightforward charging option for compatible NiMH and NiCd airsoft battery packs.
