Bantam BC8HP Operating Manual - page 8
When you start a charge process, the integral safety
timer automatically starts running at the same time.
This is programmed to prevent overcharge the battery
if it proves to be faulty, or if the termination circuit
cannot detect the battery full. The value for the safety
timer should be generous enough to allow a full
charge of the battery.
This program sets the maximum charge capacity that
will be supplied to the battery during charge. If the
delta-peak voltage is not detected nor the safety timer
expired by any reason, this feature will automatically
stop the process at the selected capacity value.

The battery which is on the cyclic process of charge
and discharge can often become warm after charge or
discharge period. The program can insert a time delay
to occur after each charge and discharge process to
allow the battery adequate time to cool down before
being subjected to the next process. The value ranges
from 1 to 60 minutes.

You can set the trickle charge mode on or off. If it is
on, the charger will automatically supply the trickle
charge current to achieve the full charge without
overheating the battery after fast charge has been
terminated.

An optional feature using temperature probe
contacting the surface of battery, the temperature
cut-off can be on or off. If it is on, set the maximum
temperature at which the charger should allow
battery to reach during charge. Once a battery
reaches this temperature during operation, the
process will be terminated to protect the battery.

This restrains the delta-peak voltage detection until
the time has reached. This prevents a premature
cut-off from the battery of high internal resistance.
The default value is one minute. (1 ~ 15 minutes)

Default; If you do not know much about this function, or
for ordinary batteries, select this mode. 12mV/cell for
NiCd or 8mV/cell for NiMH will be used.
