BC6
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. Please refer the statement in below to
calculate the time setting.
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 beep sounds at every time pressing the buttons to
confirm your action. The beep or melody sounded at
various times during operation to alert different mode
changes. These audible sounds can be on or off.
This program monitors the voltage of input DC battery. If
the voltage drops below the value you set the operation
forcibly terminated to protect the input battery.

The battery 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.

Safety Timer Calculations
When charging NiCd or NiMH batteries, divide the battery's rated capacity (mAh) by the charge
current (A). And divide the result by 11.9. Set this number of minutes in the safety timer setting. If the
charger stops charging at this time limit by any reason, approximately 140% of the battery's capacity
will have been delivered to the battery. For example:
Capacity Current Safety timer setting
2000mAh 2.0A (2000 / 2.0 = 1000), divided by 11.9 = 84 minutes
3300mAh 3.0A (3300 / 3.0 = 1100), divided by 11.9 = 92 minutes
1000mAh 1.2A (1000 / 1.2 = 833), divided by 11.9 = 70 minutes
