- Optimised operating software
When charging or discharging, BC6 has an 'AUTO' function that sets the feeding current
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
communication for every possible error so it introduces a maximum safety. These can be set at
users option.
- Dual input power
BC6 employs the circuit that can be operated with the input power of AC(Alternating Current) or
DC(Direct Current). For AC input, it contains a AC-DC switching power supplier which has 5A of
power capacity and maximum output power of 50Watts for charging. As a result, it can charge up to
15 cells of NiCd/NiMH and 6 series of Lithium batteries with maximum current of 5.0A. But there
might be the limit of feeding current to a higher voltage of battery. Please refer 'Maximum circuit
power charge'.
- Individual voltage balancer for Lithium batteries inside
BC6 has an individual-cell-voltage balancer inside. So it does not need any balancer separately
when charging Lithium batteries (LiIo/LiPo/LiFe) for cell voltage balancing.
- Balance individual cells on discharge
BC6 also can monitor and balance individual cells of the Lithium battery pack during the
discharge process. If the voltage of any one cell varies abnormally, the process will be stopped with
the error message.
- Accept various types of Lithium battery
BC6 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.
- Lithium battery 'Fast' and 'Storage' mode
You can charge Lithium battery for special purposes. 'Fast' charge reduces the charging time of
Lithium battery and 'Storage' mode controls the final voltage of the 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. (NiCd/NiMH)
Auto-charge current limit: When charging NiCd or NiMH at 'AUTO' current mode, you can set the
upper limit of charge current to avoid from high current feeding . This is very useful when charging
the low impedance and small capacity NiMH battery in 'AUTO' mode.
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
Thank you for purchasing the e-STATION BC6 'Dual power'. You get a rapid charger/discharger
with a built-in balancer, which is computerised with a high performance microprocessor and
specialised operating software.
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 BC6.
