Fujitsu FCT344-CE1 AA Rechargeable Battery Charger
The Fujitsu FCT344-CE1 is a compact Ni-MH quick charger kit designed for AA and AAA rechargeable cells, made in Japan and supplied with four Fujitsu AA 2000mAh (typ.) / 1900mAh (min.) batteries.
The Fujitsu FCT344-CE1 charges one to four AA or AAA Ni-MH cells at a time, with each bay independently monitored by a microprocessor.
It runs on 100-240V AC so it works in Sri Lanka without a transformer, and switches between fast 1100mA and standard 550mA modes depending on cell count.
Safety features include smart cut-off, temperature detection, reverse-polarity protection, and alkaline-battery detection.
Production crews use it to keep wireless mics, in-ear packs, DSLR speedlights, clickers, and LED accent lights running through multi-day events without single-use battery waste.
Why Choose This Product
- Independent Slot Charging: Each of the four bays runs its own microprocessor-controlled cycle, so mismatched AA and AAA cells, or partially discharged cells, can be combined in one session without dragging the whole tray to the lowest common state.
- Universal Mains Input: The 100-240V 50/60Hz input means the same unit works on local Sri Lankan mains and on overseas tours or imported gear cases without an external converter.
- Safety Stack: Smart cut-off, timer cut-off, thermal monitoring, reverse-polarity detection, and alkaline detection together reduce the risk of cell venting, overheating, or damage from a wrongly inserted non-rechargeable battery.
- Fast Mode For Low Counts: When only one or two cells are inserted, the charger doubles the current to roughly 1100mA per AA bay, shortening turnaround between sets or shoots.
How Can You Use This
- Stage Power Distribution: Distribute power to mixers, lights, microphones, and speakers from one central power source.
- AV Rack Setups: Powering a rack of audio mixer, wireless receivers, and a computer monitor at the FOH position.
- Office and Conference: Extra outlets at presenter tables, meeting rooms, and shared workstations.
- Outdoor Events (with Inverter / UPS): AC power at sites without grid - weddings on lawns, beach setups, outdoor exhibitions.
- Equipment Protection: Surge protectors and power conditioners shield sensitive audio / video equipment from line spikes.
- Sequenced Equipment Power-On: Avoid amp pops and breaker trips when turning on a full AV rack - sequencers power up devices in order.
