Default RE: Triton compared to Accu-Cycle Elite

Which should tell us one thing. The people that write these manuals are next to clueless when it comes to charge technolgy and how to describe it. The write nice feature buzz words about the equipment simply for its marketing impact.[:'(]

I am considering buying either ElectriFly's Triton or Hobbico's Accu-Cycle Elite battery charger. Could you folks be so kind as to tell me what the difference between these two peak detection methods is.

According to each charger’s manual:
The Triton uses “ “Zero deltaV” peak detection with adjustable sensitivity for NiCd and NiMH batteries.” “For NiCd batteries, the peak sensitivity ranges from 5mV to 20mV per cell [...]. For NiMH batteries, the peak sensitivity ranges from 3mV to 15mV per cell [...].

The Elite uses “NiCd/MH – “negative deltaV” peak detection” with “Peak Detection Sensitivity: 3-15mV per cell adjustable”.
