Battery Chargers

No, the chargers on this page are for specific equipment rather than household AA and AAA cells. They charge devices such as AuraSTRX receivers, Quantec QT412 transmitters, Hikvision body cameras and Epoc pagers, and the Mercury 690.004UK charges lead acid batteries. For household cells, see the alkaline and rechargeable batteries range.

Use a charger set to the battery voltage, such as the Mercury 690.004UK. Select 2V, 6V or 12V with its slide switch and connect the crocodile clips on the 1.8m fly lead; it charges at 600mA with over current and reverse polarity protection, and LEDs show charging and wrong polarity. The 690.004UK is designed for lead acid batteries, not lithium or NiMH cells.

Choose by how many receivers you issue at once. The AURA-CH2 is a dual slot charger, the AURA-CH5 docks 5 receivers with auto-cutoff protection, the D-CH06 takes 6 with LED status lights, the AURA-CH10 charges 10 and mounts in a rack or on a desk, and the AURA-CH20 has 20 slots in a portable flight case.

It charges body cameras and uploads their footage at the same time. The DS-MDS001/2T/8(B) dock stations have 8, 9 or 10 ports depending on the model and a dual network interface, and they clear camera storage after upload, with ANR to help prevent data loss. They can also play back video, audio and images and keep logs.

A full charge typically takes 14 hours on the C-TEC QT424 chargers. The QT424/1 is a single-way plugtop charger for a standard 13A socket, and the QT424/10 charges up to ten transmitters at once from an IEC lead, wall or desk mounted. Transmitters can stay on the QT424/10 after charging, as it is designed to prevent overcharging.

It is a 240V DC supercharger for Eaton 9PX and 9SX UPS systems of 8kVA and 11kVA, built in a 3U case for rack or tower installation. Eaton lists it for high-demand power environments. Check the UPS model and kVA rating against these before fitting it, as it is not a general-purpose battery charger.

It is a spare charger for the Veracity VAD-PS PointSource battery PoE injector, a portable PoE battery pack with a removable, rechargeable battery module. Installers use the pack to power IP cameras during site installation and site surveys, so a spare charger keeps a second battery ready. It works with a variety of wall outlet adapters.

Yes. The Scope EPOCSCHGUK charger is made for the Epoc pager range, and several can be interlocked to create a pager rack, so a team of pagers charges side by side in one place. Scope also lists an EPOCSNSUK nightstand, which needs the EPOCBMPG pager and EPOCSVIB to go with it.

Several of these chargers are designed for it. The C-TEC QT424/10 prevents overcharging, so transmitters stay ready when left connected, the Opus AURA-CH10 has overcharge protection and the AURA-CH5 has auto-cutoff protection. Check the listing for your model before leaving devices docked overnight.
