Not a simple project without instructions. Basically, he added a timer to the 120VAC side (there is no "smarts") and some meters plus wired in a potentiometer to the front panel to adjust the voltage.
It has 2 separate 12VDC power supplies, each can be "fine tuned" to a specific voltage. When the high current one kicks of from the timer, the low current one takes over. Everything is manual, but it is nice to have a charger that you can adjust the voltages to EXACTLY what you want. There is very little chance of overcharging because the high current one is on a timer.
If you are in to electronic "kits", this is all pretty simple stuff. NOT FOR THE AVERAGE GUY WITH A SOLDERING IRON !
