The Nitecore UM20 is a lot more than a simple battery charger. It has been built making full use of intelligent technology that will not only detect the input power of the device, but also allow for intelligent management of power and distributes the charging power to where it’s needed most. It has an optimized charging program for IMR batteries and intelligently selects the charging current based on the battery capacity.
The LCD display is your control status panel and displays how much charge your battery has and displays this in percentages, giving you full control at all times. When the battery is fully charged it will cut the charging itself so you do not have to worry about over charging your batteries.
The Nitecore UM20 is a dual channel charger, which means you can charge two batteries and a phone without having to swap cables. It has a switch built into the device which allows you to switch between batteries or phone so that you can assign which one you want to have priority in charging. This is a very useful function and very thoughtful of the guys over at Nitecore.
