Bantam e-STATION 902 Operating Manual - Special Features
Special features
Thank you for purchasing the e-STATION 902. You get a rapid charger/discharger that is
computerised with a high performance microprocessor and specialised operating software. It can
maintain your battery at its best condition and also control them safely.
Please read this entire operating manual completely and attentively as it contains a wide variety of
specific programming and safety information.
You need to keep this manual in a safe place, and be sure to pass it on to the new owner if you
ever dispose of 902.
- High-power and high-performance circuit
902 employs the circuit that has maximum output power of 200W. As a result it can charge or
discharge up to 32 cells of NiCd/NiMH and 12 series of Lithium batteries with maximum current of
9.9A. Furthermore, the cooling system is so efficient that can hold such a power without any
trouble of the circuit or the operating programs. If you need more power to discharge the battery of
high voltage with high current you can link an external discharge module(*) that is sold separately
to the unit.
- Optimised operating software
When charging or discharging, 902 has an 'AUTO' function that set the feeding current or the cell
count of Lithium battery automatically. Especially for Lithium batteries, it can prevent the
over-charging can lead to an explosion by users fault. Every program in the unit is controlled with
mutual links and communicates for every possible error. So it introduces a maximum safety. These
can be set at users option.
- 'OUTPUT-2'
The 'OUTPUT-2' can charge NiCd or NiMH battery up to 6 cells with 'OUTPUT-1' simultaneously.
It employs the delta-peak voltage detection method not the trickle charge, and is independently
operated from 'OUTPUT-1'. Do not try to charge Lithium battery at OUTPUT-2.
- Accept various type of Lithium batteries
902 can accept three types of Lithium batteries - LiIo, LiPo and LiFe. They have different
characteristics by their chemistry. You can select any one of them that you are going to process
before the job. For their specifications, refer 'Warnings and safety notes' section.
- PWM Motor driver
You can easily break-in or test the motor at 'OUTPUT-1' with a variable feeding voltage, and
running time. And also you can check the output power and the consumption of electric current of
the motor at real time.
- Lithium 'Fast'/'Storage' mode charge
You can charge Lithium batteries for special purposes. 'Fast' charge reduces the charging time of
Lithium battery and 'Storage mode controls the final voltage of battery to be suit for long time
storage.
- Maximum safety
Delta-peak sensitivity : The automatic charge termination program works on the principle of the
Delta-peak voltage detection. The charge monitors the charging curve and assessment of the peak
with the charging time increment. This indicates the terminal point of charging accurately. The
value of trigger voltage can be set separately for NiCd and NiMH batteries in mV at users setting.
Capacity limit : The charging capacity always calculated by multiple of the charging current and
time. If the charging capacity exceeds the limit the process will be terminated automatically when
you set the maximum value.
