This microprocessor controlled, high-performance rapid charger/discharger for NiCd/NiMh/Lithium/Pb batteries with an integrated cell voltage balancer is perfect for home and field usage. With it’s combined AC and DC input, you have the best of both worlds in one simple package.
Together with an “AUTO” charge and discharge function this is possibly the best new charger package around.
The BC6 comes standard with an integrated, individual-cell-voltage balancer so it does not need an external balancer like some many other chargers.
NOTE: When the “'Balance Charge” mode being performed, the balancing adapter should be connected to the balancing tab of battery pack and the charger's charging lead should be connected to the output of battery pack.
As an added feature, the BC6 can also monitor and balance individual cells of Lithium battery packs during the discharge process - if the voltage of any one cell varies abnormally, the discharge process will be stopped, with an error message being displayed on the LCD screen.
The charger also includes a “Fast” charge and a “Storage” charge mode to either reduce the charge time or to control the final voltage of the battery for long period of storage.
For the technical expert, the BC6 offers an optional PC based program to analyze individual battery characteristics. The application can show graphical representation of voltage, current, capacity and temperature curves as well as the individual voltage of each cell in a Lithium pack.
