Does it has a switch or control for discharging batteries? Also, does it have a way to set the charge speed to a slower setting?

I've recharged NiCADs with it and it has done multiple charge/drain cycles on them then did a full recharge. Worked great. I LOVE this charger so far. It has happily recharged 2600mah NiMH AA I use in my xbox controllers a couple dozen times and I top off alkaline batteries all the time. I tried some Zinc Carbon batteries just for giggles and ... They leaked. Don't do it, lol. It IS recharging some Energizer Lithium AAs happily, though. This is HIGHLY unrecommended as they can explode/catch fire if they get too hot. It refused to charge them at first but is now doing it. Dunno what changed. I use the Alkaline setting and they just get very lightly warm. I use them in a LED flashlight.

No, This charger seem to have enough brains to know how to charge the batteries of all three types. No to your second question. I don't think you would want to charge the batteries any slower. It's slow enough. I charged about 110 batteries so far . Only one would not charge. Great charger. Alan Doucette

Does it automatically,don't charge Alkaline in it,because all I did leaked and ruined the machine

There is no control for discharging batteries. I don't think that's necessary anymore on most batteries. No, I'm not aware of any way to control the speed of charging.

Hello, thank you for reaching out to us. This charger does have a Storage control for lithium batteries. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact our technicians and they will be able to provide further details. Thank you - ServoCity

There should be a switch and the settings marked on the side of the battery enclosure. You have to look closely to see the settings.

I do not think there is an on/off switch. You just have to remove the plastic from the battery compartment, so the battery can engage. Mine just comes on automatically when it gets dark and the battery is charged. I love mine!

No "on/off" switch. Whatever time you put the batteries in the unit it stays on for 5 hours and repeats daily.

It's a renogy pmw30cc - pmw type charger 30 amp max charge controller. It auto selects between 12 and 24v systems. If you hook the load up to the controller it prevents over discharge. As for charging, it will switch to float mode when batteries are 100%. The manual says nothing specific about charge stages/modes but does list the following: load disconnect 11.1v/22.2v, load reconnect 12.6v/25.2v, equalization voltage (30 min) 14.6v/29.2v, boost voltage (30 min) 14.4v/28.8v, float voltage 13.6v/27.2v, battery type sealed lead acid and flooded.

it does not have an on/off timer. It regulates very well so when the full charge is reached it does a float charge so it sends just enough power through to keep it charged

No it does not. You would need to add a timed switch to control the power .

As far as I can tell the 9 volts are timer based. The batteries capacity (mAh) determines the time in the charger. It will automatically turn off after so many hours. (at least ours does!)

There is a on/off switch. But actually it has 3 settings: low, high and off.

Hi there is a switch inside the battery compartment, if that switch is set to the Nicad position and you put rechargeable cells in the unit they will be recharged with a quite sophisticated charger that does not overcharge or damage the battery.Hans. J Weedon.

None Note this is s bang bang controler that is not ultra efficient as a battery charge controler. On at 13 v off at 14 v.

Yes, speed adjuster on remote. Noticeable difference when using battery vs ac power much slower with battery. To be expected though

The speed cannot be adjusted. The switch provided is cheaply made! Sometimes the unit will not turn off when you switch to the off position.

Yes, it has a reverse setting (very easy to use- just push button). It does not have variable speeds.

No it did not have a turn off switch. You would have to take the batteries out

Yes it has a setting to charge standard batteries. It does a very good job of charging standard batteries.
