Powerex MH-C801D 1-Hr PRO Charger: Rapid 8-Cell Charging with Professional Precision

When your work depends on fully charged AA or AAA NiMH batteries at a moment’s notice, the Powerex MH-C801D steps up to deliver. Known as the “1-Hr PRO Charger,” it combines eight independent charging channels, a true one-hour rapid charge capability, and smart battery management modes to keep your cells healthy and your workflow efficient. Whether you’re managing camera flashes, wireless mics, or high-drain LED lights, this charger offers speed without compromise.

Why the MH-C801D is Different

• One-hour rapid charge: Get a full set of AA cells ready in approximately 60 minutes.
• Eight independent bays: Charge AA/AAA NiMH batteries in any mix or state of charge.
• Selectable modes: Rapid for urgency, soft for battery longevity.
• Conditioning system: Maintains capacity and performance over many cycles.
• Backlit LCD: Clear, per-slot status updates and completion indicators.
• Thermal and voltage monitoring: Protects against overcharge and overheating.

Speed with Safety

The MH-C801D’s rapid mode uses a high-current profile to charge batteries quickly while continuously monitoring temperature and voltage to prevent stress and damage. In soft mode, the charging current is reduced, generating less heat and extending the number of cycles your batteries can deliver. This dual approach lets you decide between urgency and long-term care, depending on the day’s demands.

Independent Channels for True Flexibility

Each of the eight slots is controlled separately, detecting the inserted battery’s condition and adjusting accordingly. You can mix AA and AAA sizes, insert partially discharged cells alongside fully depleted ones, and remove completed cells without interrupting others. This independence ensures maximum efficiency and cell protection.

Maintaining Battery Health

The integrated conditioning system discharges and recharges batteries in a controlled cycle to re-balance and refresh them. Regular conditioning helps mitigate the capacity loss that NiMH cells can experience over time, especially in demanding professional use.

Best Use Cases

• Photography & video production: Keep multiple flash sets or LED panels running without downtime.
• Live events: Rotate wireless mic packs and IEM transmitters throughout the day.
• Gaming & controllers: Power multiple devices at once without juggling chargers.
