Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient use of your EBL 808U AA AAA Battery Charger and the accompanying 1100mAh NiMH AAA rechargeable batteries. Please read these instructions carefully before use and retain them for future reference.
Product Features
- 8-Slot Independent Charging: The charger can simultaneously charge 1 to 8 NiMH/NiCd AA or AAA rechargeable batteries. Each slot features a clear LED indicator for individual battery status.
- Intelligent Safety System: Equipped with an advanced MCU control system, the charger automatically ceases charging upon detecting improper input voltage, defective batteries, or short circuits. Its design promotes heat dissipation for stable performance.
- Dual USB Charging Ports: Two integrated USB ports (5V/2A output) allow for simultaneous charging of smartphones, tablets, or other USB-powered devices alongside batteries.
- High-Performance AAA Batteries: Includes 16 EBL 1.2V 1100mAh NiMH AAA rechargeable batteries. These batteries feature ProCyco technology, extending their cycle life to over 1200 times.
- Low Self-Discharge Technology: EBL batteries maintain approximately 80% of their charge capacity even after 3 years of storage, thanks to advanced low self-discharge technology.
Setup Instructions
- Connect the Charger: Plug the AC power cable into the charger's input port, then connect the other end to a standard wall outlet. The LED indicators will briefly illuminate.
- Insert Batteries: Insert 1 to 8 AA or AAA NiMH/NiCd rechargeable batteries into the charging slots, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Observe LED Indicators: Each slot has an LED indicator. A red light typically indicates charging, while a green light signifies a fully charged battery. Refer to the 'Operating Instructions' section for detailed LED status meanings.
- Utilize USB Ports (Optional): Connect your USB-powered devices (e.g., smartphone, tablet) to the two USB output ports on the charger for simultaneous charging.

Operating Instructions
Charging Process
Once batteries are correctly inserted and the charger is powered, the charging process begins automatically. The intelligent system detects battery type and condition.
- Red LED: Indicates that the battery in that slot is currently charging.
- Green LED: Indicates that the battery in that slot is fully charged.
- Flashing Red LED or No Light: May indicate a non-rechargeable battery, a defective battery, or incorrect insertion. Remove and re-insert the battery, or replace it if it's non-rechargeable or faulty.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from power before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the charger and batteries. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the charger and batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store batteries with a partial charge.
- Temperature Adaptability: EBL batteries are designed to perform across a wide temperature range, from -20°C to +60°C. However, for optimal battery life and safety, avoid charging or storing in extreme conditions.

Troubleshooting
- Battery Not Charging (No LED or Flashing Red):
- Ensure the battery is a rechargeable NiMH or NiCd type. The charger cannot charge alkaline or carbon-zinc batteries.
- Check battery polarity. Re-insert the battery with the correct positive (+) and negative (-) orientation.
- The battery might be defective or short-circuited. Try a different battery to confirm.
- If the battery voltage is extremely low, the charger may attempt to refresh it. If charging does not start after a few minutes, the battery might be beyond recovery.
- USB Devices Not Charging:
- Ensure the charger is properly connected to a power source.
- Verify the USB cable is securely connected to both the charger and the device.
- Check if the USB device requires more than 5V/2A input, which might exceed the charger's output capacity.
- Charger Overheating: While the charger is designed for good heat dissipation, excessive heat can occur if used in a confined space or if defective batteries are inserted. Ensure adequate ventilation and remove any hot batteries immediately.
