BC6
Initial parameter set up (Users set up)
BC6 will be operated with the default value of the essential user settings when it is connected to a
12V battery or a AC wall socket for the first time. The screen displays the following information in
sequence and the user can change the value of parameter on each screen.
When you are willing to alter the parameter value in the program, press key to make it blink then
change the value with or key. The value will be stored by pressing key once.
The screen displays the nominal voltage of Lithium
battery. There are three kinds of Lithium battery;
LiFe(3.3V), LiIo(3.6V) or LiPo(3.7V). This is very
important so you have to check the battery carefully
and set it up correctly. If it is different from correct
value the battery can explode during charge process.
BC6 recognise the cell count of Lithium battery
automatically at the beginning of charge or discharge
process to avoid from erroneous setting by user. But
deeply discharged battery can be perceived incorrectly.
To prevent the error, you can set the time term to verify
the cell count by the processor. Normally, 10 minutes
are enough to perceive the cell count correctly. For the
battery of larger capacity, you may extend the time term.
But if you set the time term too long for the battery of
smaller capacity, the charge or discharge process can
be finished within the time term with the erroneous cell
count. This may cause the fatal result. If the processor
recognises the cell count incorrectly at the beginning of
charge or discharge process, you may extend the time.
Otherwise, you had better use with the default value.

This shows the trigger voltage for automatic charge
termination of NiMH and NiCd battery. The effective value
ranges from 5 to 20mV per cell. If the trigger voltage is set
higher, there is a danger of overcharging the battery; if it is
set lower, there is a possibility of premature termination.
Please refer the technical specification of the battery.
(NiCd default: 12mV, NiMH default: 7mV)

You can select the function of 3-pin port at left side of the
unit. It can be used temperature sensor port or USB port,
selected at this screen. If the port is assigned as a temp.
port, an optional temperature probe contacting the surface
of battery can be used. When it is selected as an USB port,
you can link the charger to your PC via an optional USB
cable. This can utilize the optional software that can show
you the charging process at PC.
You can set the maximum temperature at which the charger
should allow battery to reach during charge. Once a battery
reaches this temperature during charge, the process will be
terminated to protect the battery.
