Frequently Asked Questions - CC8 VOLTCRAFT

What types of batteries can I charge with the Voltcraft CC8?

The charger is compatible with rechargeable Ni-MH, Ni-Cd, LiFePO4 and Li-ion batteries. It accepts cylindrical formats such as AA, AAA, C, SC, 18650, etc., as well as 9 V batteries.

How to manually set the charging current?

To set the charging current, press the SLOT button to select a slot, then press and hold the MODE button until the current flashes. Then use the MODE button to select the desired value.

What does the 'Err' display on the screen mean?

The Err display indicates that the battery polarity is reversed or a non-rechargeable battery has been inserted. Check the polarity and battery type.

Can I charge different types of batteries at the same time?

Yes, the 10 slots are independent. You can simultaneously charge batteries of different types and sizes, as long as they are compatible with the charger.

What is the safety procedure to follow before cleaning the charger?

Before cleaning, disconnect the charger from the power supply and remove all inserted batteries. Use a dry, lint-free cloth; avoid any chemicals.

Can the charger be used outdoors?

No, the Voltcraft CC8 is designed for indoor use only, in dry rooms. Avoid any contact with moisture or water.

How to interpret the symbols on the LCD screen?

The screen displays the battery type (Li-ion, LiFePO4, NiMH/NiCd), voltage (V), charged capacity (mAh), percentage (%) and charging current (A). 'Null' means no battery, 'Full' indicates full charge.

What is the maximum charging power for a single battery?

The maximum charging current is 2000 mA, but only on slots 1 and 8 for Li-ion/LiFePO4 batteries. For other slots, the maximum current is 1000 mA (Ni-MH/Ni-Cd) or 800 mA (Li-ion).

What to do in case of charger overheating?

Place the charger on a non-flammable and heat-resistant surface. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not blocked. If overheating persists, disconnect the charger and let it cool down.
