The Ikelite Smart Charger is ideal for the traveling underwater photographer. Auto-ranging input allows the charger to work in any country whose electrical system falls within a 100V - 240V range. AC adapters are included for the USA, Europe, United Kingdom and Australia.

The Smart Charger is configured to charge both Ni-Cad and NiMH battery packs. The charger showcases the latest pulse charge technology, allowing near complete charging while also conditioning cells over time, resulting in longer battery life and more flashes per charge. Its "trickle" charge mode helps maintain a battery pack's charge without danger of overheating. In addition, the SMart Charger is less likely to fail when used with poorly regulated power sources.

The Smart Charger measures 2.7" x 4.1" x 1.5" (6.9 cm x 10.4 cm x 3.8 cm) and weighs only 12 ounces. The LED light on its front indicates when the unit is powered on and what the current state of charge is.

NOTE: The Smart Charger is only compatible with the battery modules offered for the Ikelite DS125 Digital Strobe (1.5 hr recharge time), DS160 Digital Strobe (1.5 hr recharge time) and DS200 Digital Strobe (2.5 hr recharge time).
