- Optimized operating software
When charging or discharging, BC8 has an 'AUTO' function that sets 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 communication for every possible error
so it introduces a maximum safety. These can be set at users option.
- High-power and high-performance circuit
BC8 employs the circuit that has maximum output power of 150W. As a result it can charge or discharge up to 27 cells of NiCd/NiMH and 8 series of Lithium
batteries with maximum current of 7.0A. Furthermore the cooling system
is so efficient that can hold such a power without any trouble of
running the circuit or the operating program.
- Individual voltage balancer for Lithium batteries inside
BC8 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.
** When the 'Balance charge' mode being performed, the balancing
adapter should be connected to the balancing tab of battery pack, as
well as the charger's charging lead should be connected to the output
of battery pack.
And also, please pay attention to the polarity of the battery pack's
output which goes to the charger's output. If it is reversed, the
short-circuit can be happened on the battery pack.
- Balance individual cells on discharge
BC8 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
BC8 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.
- 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.
- Data store/load
For users convenience it can store maximum 10 data of different
batteries. You can establish the data contains program setting of the
battery to charge or discharge continually. These data can be called
out at any time you need and the process can be executed without
program setting.
- Cyclic charging/discharging
Perform 1 to 5 cycles of charge>discharge or discharge>charge
continually for battery refreshing and balancing.
- PC based analysis using USB communication
For technical expert, BC8 offers PC based program can analysis the
characteristic of the battery by USB port. It shows a graph of voltage,
current, capacity and temperature curves. It also shows the individual
voltage of each cell in the Lithium battery pack.
- Back-light LCD screen
You can adjust the brightness of LCD display
- Robust outer aluminum case
High-quality aluminum case is durable and very efficient to cool out the internal heat
