Specialising in mobile energy solutions, Ansmann has quickly built a reputation for superior product performance and quality. Ansmann products are continuously winning top positions in independent consumer test across Europe. We've found that Ansmann products are quite humble in their performance claims, only to surprise positively when put to serious use. Ansmann's aim of continuing to deliver
market leading products is a great match for our vendor partner's dedication
to superior
value and
customer
satisfaction. While neither the Ansmann chargers nor Ansmann batteries
are cheap, you're getting more than your money's worth - if you're looking
for top performance, you've found the right range of products. Answer: Basically, an exchange is possible and regarding costs and environmental aspects it also makes a lot of sense. Appliances such as digital cameras, CD-players, toys, lamps, etc. are usually constructed in a way that perfect functionality is guaranteed down to a cell voltage of about 0.9 V per individual cell. Therefore, you can be sure that a rechargeable battery with a voltage of 1.2 V has no disadvantages at all compared to a disposable battery with 1.5 V. Question: Is it possible to exchange NiCd and NiMH cells for each other without any concerns? Answer: As both types of cells have the same basic voltage, they can be exchanged for each other. However, you should consider that only cells of one type and from one manufacturer are supposed to be charged in the same charger. Do not charge different types of cells (NiCd/NiMH) at the same time. The only exception is a micro-controlled charger (e.g. the Powerline series), where the simultaneous charge of NiCd and NiMH cells is no problem.
Answer: No, in this case there is no danger that the cells can be damaged, as the charging current is normally chosen correspondingly, so that it charges with 1/10 of the cell capacity. The surplus energy is transformed into heat and is emitted to the outside. Ideally, by using a charger of the Accufresh series, you should previously discharge the cells so that the cells are in a defined condition. Question: Why is it necessary to discharge NiCd cells before the process of charging? Answer: You should discharge NiCd cells before every process of charging in order to avoid the feared memory effect. The memory effect has the consequence that the not used parts of the cell due to partially discharging are no longer in a position to receive and produce energy. Consequently, the operating times of their users (appliances) become shorter and shorter and the cells have to be recharged more frequently. Question: Why is it possible to charge NiCd and NiMH cells in chargers of the POWERline series at the same time? Answer: As all chargers of the POWERline series comprise of individual supervision of every charging box, it is possible to charge different types of cells as well as cells with different capacities and conditions at the same time. Each charging location ends the process of charging as soon as the maximum of capacity of the cell is reached. Then, the charger switches to trickle charging. Question: Is it possible to leave the cells in the charger for an unlimited period of time? Answer: Yes, you can leave the cells for an unlimited time in chargers of the Accufresh and POWERline series, as after the process of charging, these chargers turn automatically to trickle charging. The cells are kept at a power of 100 %. Consequently, self-discharging of the cell is prevented. There is also no danger of detrimental overcharging in chargers of the Basic series, as the charging current is kept very low. However, the charging current in these chargers is not interrupted. Question: Can your chargers be used world-wide? Answer: It is possible to employ the chargers POWERline 4, POWERline 6, POWERline 4 traveller and the ENERGY-Series (ENERGY 4, ENERGY 8 & ENERGY 16), as well as the universal power supply APS 1212 traveller and the chargers for battery packs ACS 410 traveller, ACS 410p traveller with any voltage network in the world, as these chargers are intelligent they work with an input voltage anywhere between 100 and 240 V AC. Question: What is the difference between Powerline 4, Powerline 4 traveller and DigiCam Power-Set traveller? Answer: The difference between Powerline 4 and Powerline 4 traveller
is that the Powerline 4 traveller is equipped with a primary plug set
system for various countries (UK, AUS, US, EURO plug). Thanks to the
electronic power supply both versions can be used worldwide with different
mains voltages from 100 to 240 V AC. The DIGICAM Power-Set traveller
is a complete set consisting of the Powerline 4 traveller charger and
4 x AA NiMH rechargeable batteries.Why do the LEDs red-green light when
inserting rechargeable batteries into the Energy charger? Question: Does the Powerline 4 fully charge high capacity cells? Answer: The Powerline 4 traveller (with primary plug set) can in any
case charge batteries up to 2500 mAh. Production date Capacity If your charger is not able to fully charge batteries with a capacity of 2200 mAh, disconnect it from the mains after termination of charging (steady green LED), wait for about 10 seconds, then connect it to the mains again. With this procedure the missing capacity will be recharged. There is no risk of overcharging the cells since the charger is supervised by –dV control. Question: Does the Powerline 6 fully charge high capacity cells? Production date Capacity If your charger is not able to fully charge batteries with a capacity
of 2200 mAh, disconnect it from the mains after termination of charging
(steady green LED), wait for about 10 seconds, then connect it to the
mains again. With this procedure the missing capacity will be recharged.
