Energizer CHVCM-EU charger

 Simple NiMH accu charger.

2 charging channels (2 x 2 AA/AAA), relatively low charging current, no detection of fully charged accumulators, just 11 h timer. Might be useful for complementing modern chargers that sometimes seem too smart refusing to charge.
Open circuit voltage on each channel: 11.6V.


Transformer: outputtting 7.7V RMS and 5V RMS.


Visible corrosion damage - these pictures were taken after cleaning. Fortunately PCB traces does not seem to be broken. Two electrolytic capacitors were replaced as they seemed to be corroded, though their capacitance was fine.

Strangely only one problem was found: not working LED in first channel.

Timer: HCF4541.
