™
brand packs. It’s also compatible
with NiCd and NiMH batteries. AC/DC fl exibility, plus the advanced LCD with backlight, simple menus and controls make
it super-easy for anyone to use anytime, anywhere. Its tremendous fl exibility, small size and weight, yet high power give
racers another advantage on race day!
