Nitecore D2 Smart Charger User Manual

1. Introducció

The Nitecore D2 is an advanced universal smart charger compatible with nearly all cylindrical rechargeable batteries. It automatically detects Li-ion, IMR, LiFePO4, Ni-MH, and Ni-Cd batteries, and through intelligent circuitry, selects the optimal charging mode (CC, CV, and dV/dt). The integrated LCD panel clearly displays charging parameters and progress. The D2 features two independently controlled charging slots, allowing for simultaneous charging of different battery types.

2. Informació de seguretat

• Use the charger only with compatible rechargeable batteries as listed in the specifications. Attempting to charge non-rechargeable batteries may cause explosion, rupture, or leakage, resulting in property damage and/or personal injury.
• Ensure correct battery polarity (+/-) when inserting batteries into the charging slots. The charger features reverse polarity protection.
• No deixeu la càrrega de les bateries sense vigilància.
• Keep the charger away from water, high humidity, and extreme temperatures.
• The charger is constructed from durable ABS (fire retardant/flame resistant) material for enhanced safety.
• No desmunteu ni modifiqueu el carregador.
• Desendolleu el carregador de la font d'alimentació quan no l'utilitzeu.

• Automatic selection of appropriate voltage and charge mode (CC, CV, dV/dt).
• Compatible with LiFePO4 batteries (manual selection required).
• Supports small capacity batteries.
• Automatic charging termination upon completion.
• Over-charge prevention and temperature monitoring.
• Protecció de polaritat inversa.
• Designed for optimal heat dissipation.
• Integrated LCD panel displays charging parameters and progress.

5. Configuració

1. Connectar l'alimentació: Plug the AC power cord into the charger and then into a wall outlet, or connect the 12V DC car power cord to the charger and then to your vehicle's 12V DC socket. The charger will perform a self-test, and the LCD screen will illuminate.
2. Pantalla inicial: When no batteries are inserted, the LCD will display "null".

6. Instruccions de funcionament

6.1 Inserció de les bateries

Insert one or two rechargeable batteries into the D2's charging slots. The charger will automatically identify the battery type (Li-ion, IMR, Ni-MH, Ni-Cd) and begin charging. For LiFePO4 batteries, manual selection is required (see section 6.4).

This image illustrates the compact design of the Nitecore D2 charger and its ability to accommodate two batteries of varying sizes and chemistries simultaneously, including Li-ion, IMR, LiFePO4, Ni-MH, and Ni-Cd.

6.2 Comprensió de la pantalla LCD

The integrated LCD panel provides real-time information about the charging process:

• Estat de càrrega: Displays the current charge level with a bar graph.
• Tipus de bateria: Indicates the detected battery chemistry (e.g., Li-ion, Ni-MH).
• Mode de càrrega: Shows the active charging mode (CC, CV, or -dV/dt).
• Voltage: Mostra el volum actual de la bateriatage.
• Actual: Mostra el corrent de càrrega en mA.
• Temps de càrrega: Indicates the elapsed charging duration.

Use the two side buttons to cycle through information for each slot or to select specific battery types and charging parameters.

This image demonstrates the charger's intelligent auto-detect function, showing how it identifies battery types and selects appropriate charging modes like Constant Current (CC), Constant Voltage (CV), and -dV/dt detection for Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries.

6.3 Procés de càrrega

Once a battery is inserted, the charger will automatically detect its type and begin charging. The LCD will show the progress. Charging stops automatically when complete.

6.4 Manual LiFePO4 Selection

For LiFePO4 batteries, the charger requires manual selection. After inserting a LiFePO4 battery, press the side button corresponding to that slot to cycle through the battery types until "LiFePO4" is displayed. The charger will then proceed with the appropriate charging cycle.

6.5 Using AA to D Battery Converter Spacers

The included EdisonBright AA to D battery converter spacers allow you to use rechargeable AA batteries in devices designed for D-sized batteries. Simply insert an AA battery into the spacer, then place the spacer into the D-sized battery compartment of your device. These spacers do not affect the charging process of the AA batteries in the Nitecore D2 charger.

7. Manteniment

• Clean the charger and battery contacts regularly with a dry, soft cloth.
• Guardeu el carregador en un lloc fresc i sec quan no l'utilitzeu.
• Avoid exposing the charger to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

8. Solució De Problemes

• El carregador no s'encén: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the charger and the power outlet/source. Check if the outlet is functional.
• La bateria no es carrega: Verify that the battery is inserted with correct polarity. Ensure the battery is a compatible rechargeable type. If the battery is severely over-discharged, it may not be recognized immediately; try reinserting.
• LCD display shows "null": This indicates no battery is detected in the slot. Ensure the battery is properly seated and making contact.
• Sobreescalfament: The charger has temperature monitoring. If the charger or battery becomes excessively hot, discontinue use and allow it to cool. Ensure proper ventilation around the charger.
