LCD883 REZAP UNIVERSAL BATTERY DOCTOR

The ReZAP Battery Doctor - PREMIUM SMART CHARGER

A Product of Its Time:

Spending a fortune on batteries? It’s not surprising. We are becoming increasingly dependent on batteries to power the devices of everyday life – at work, at home and at play. Every year, billions of batteries are being dumped unnecessarily, wasting huge amounts of money and worst of all, polluting our environment. Just imagine the enormous saving and what a difference it would make to our environment, if these disposed batteries could somehow be reused, even just one extra time. Up to now, thousands of people have dreamed of it but few believed it truly possible. Well, thanks to the ReZAP® Battery Doctor, a world first universal multi-chemistry battery charger, this dream turns into reality – It can actually recycle normal throwaway batteries – even those that are supposedly dead and non-rechargeable. It’s incredible and it’s true! Now you can ReZAP and reuse not just costlyrechargeables like Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) and Nickel Metal Hydrate (NiMH) but also ordinary alkaline batteries up to 15 times.

Even if money is not an issue, spare a thought for the environment. Many batteries contain a deadly cocktail of toxic chemicals and heavy metals that eventually break down and pollute our landfills and waterways. By reusing your batteries (and eventually discarding them at properdisposal depots), you will be making a great contribution to alleviate this environmental problem.

The ReZAP® Battery Doctor represents a technological breakthrough in intelligent battery recharging. It uses advanced microprocessor control together with our proprietary AlkalineMax™ charging technology that senses each battery type and condition, and delivers the optimum charging cycle to maximise charge capacity and extend battery life. Many earlier battery rechargers suffered from limited effectiveness because they simply applied a charging current to each battery until it reached full charge. They did not take into account the different types of batteries, different condition of each battery and the state of each battery as charging progressed. The ReZAP® Battery Doctor automatically senses these parameters at the beginning and throughout the charging process, ensuring that each battery is individually custom-charged.

FEATURES:

• AlkalineMax™ Technology
  • Can non-rechargeable batteries really be recharged? Yes indeed. Naturally, it is not in the interests of battery manufacturers to promote this fact, butmost alkaline batteries can be recharged if the proper controlled process is applied. Certainly, it is not as easy to recharge alkaline batteries, nor can their lives be extended as many times, as batteries designed for recharginglike NiCd and NiMH, but the ability to recharge and reuse analkaline battery about 15 times represents a huge saving given their cost.
  • The ReZAP Battery Doctor represents a technological breakthrough in intelligent battery recharging, making possible a "smart recharger" tomanage the charging parameters dynamically. It uses advancedmicroprocessor control together with our patented AlkalineMax™ charging technology that senses each battery type and condition, and delivers the optimum charging cycle to maximise charge capacity and extend battery life.
  • Many earlier battery rechargers suffered from limited effectiveness because they simply applied a chargingcurrent to each battery until it reached full charge. They did not take into account the different types of batteries, different condition of each battery and the state of each battery as charging progressed. The ReZAP Battery Doctor automatically senses these parameters at the beginning and throughout the charging cycle, ensuring that each battery isindividually custom-charged. As a result, even rechargeable batteries benefit from being ReZAPped, instead of rechargingthrough the device itself, giving increased cycle life.
• Easy and Flexible
  • One product handles batteries of many shapes and sizes, including AA, AAA, AAAA, C, D, N, 9V, 6V (Lantern) and Prismatics (regular and flat types). Differentsize batteries may be charged simultaneously using the 4 available charging bays and 2 terminals. It handles all the common domestic battery types including Alkaline, RAM (Rechargeable Alkaline Manganese), Titinium, NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) and NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride). Different battery types may be charged simultaneously because each cell is individually charged.
  • Different battery types give different results with the ReZap Battery Doctor:
    • Ordinary Alkaline batteries are rechargeableup to 15 times*
    • RAM batteries are rechargeable up to 25 times*
    • Titanium batteries are rechargeable up to 15 times*
    • NiCd up to 1000 times* (about 800 times using standard rechargers)
    • NiMH up to 600 times* (about 500 times using standard rechargers)
  • The operation of the charger is fully software driven. At Digital Works, we will develop the support for new battery types that come to the market in the future, andyou will be able to use the new programs by upgrading the processor chip. For example, purchasers of the earlier version of ReZAP (which did not support Titanium batteries) can now purchase the upgrade chip to bring their recharger to the latest version. This protects their original investment in a ReZAP.
  • Operation is entirely automatic - users do not have to know the battery type or to set any switches. Just pop the batteries in and let it run. It's perfectly safe to leave batteries in the bays indefinitely without the danger of overcharging. Once fully charged, further charging stops automatically. A set of LEDs display at a glance the status of each cell as charging progresses.
• The Safety Factor
  • Product safety is an absolute priorityin the design of the ReZAP Battery Doctor:
  • Overcharging or overheating cannot happen and batteries may be left in the charger indefinitely (although not recommended for performance reasons).
  • Automatic polarity reversal detection means that batteries inserted the wrong way will not harm the charger, the battery or the user.
    Short circuit protection on the battery terminals protects against the risk of electric shock or fire should the terminals become shorted.
    Our proprietary AlkalineMaxTM charging algorithm ensures that undesirable chemical breakdowns do not occur.
• The product complies with the relevant Australian and International Standards for Electrical Safety
