3 INTRODUCTION : Congratulations o n purchasing the BC-500 ch arging unit. This dev ice provides quick and efficient charging of “AA” and “AAA” rech argeable NiMH or NiCd batteries. The BC-500 offers several cha rgin g functions as well as indiv idual LCD display s for the charging compartments. The BC-500 charg ing unit is reliabl e, user-[...]

4 rechargeable bat teries only . The charger w ill not charge ZnMn, NiZn or Li-ion b atteries. Nev er use this device to charge o ther types of batteri es, such as alkaline, lithi um, carbon zinc battery or any other ty pe of battery that is not specified.  The charging unit shall only be us ed at normal indoor room conditions.  Always follow[...]

5 simultaneously .  Minus delt a voltage (-dV) detection for charg e termination.  Defective batter y detection.  Discharge mode ( first discharging and then charging ) to remove memory ef fect of recharg eable batteries.  T est function to check the capacity of r echargeable batteries.  The charging /discharge/test function can be l[...]

6 After the AC w all adaptor or DC car power adaptor has bee n plugged into an appropriate pow er source (Figur e 1), insert a rechargeable b attery into the charg ing unit and plug th e DC jack into the bat tery charger. After about 5 secon ds the status will be display ed, along with the battery voltage (ex ample, “1.38V”) Then the “CHARGE?[...]

7 3. (TEST) Check the rechargeable b attery capacity in Ah. CHARGE MODE When in this mod e, the unit charges the rec hargeable battery (s). It will automatically switch to trickle chargi ng after the rechargeabl e battery is fully charged. During the charging process, the display will show the “CHA RGE ” sign on the LCD. It will also show alter[...]

8 Once the battery is full, the voltage will display the “FULL” sign (see Figure 4). The trickle charg ing then starts providing around 5% of the char ging current to keep t he rechargeable batteries full. The estimated char ging time of th e different battery si zes is tabulated in Table 1. (Figure 3) (Figure 4) “FULL” sign shows -The batt[...]

10  When the AC w all adaptor is first pl ugged into the p ower source, all the segments l ight up momentaril y and then the ver sion number of the c harger (for exampl e “48”) is di splayed.  If no batterie s are in the unit, the “--” sign is disp layed (see Figure 5).  IF ATTEMPTING TO RECHARGE ALKA L INE OR CARBON BATTERIES, IT [...]

11  Carbon or Alkal ine batteries may cause the charger to dis play the “DEFECT”. These type s of batteries are NOT sui table for this charger. DEFECT INDICATOR The “DEFECT” indi cator will flash (F igure 6) for a w hile on the LCD w hile the charger det ects the battery conditi on. If a defectiv e battery condition is detected, the “D[...]

12 DISCHARGE MODE To select the Discharg e Mode, press the MO DE key for 3 seconds after the status of the batteries is displayed. Discharge m ode will first discharge the batter y, then charge it. When discharging, the “DISCHARGE“ sign and battery voltage (Figure 7) will be sho wn on the LCD. After fully discharging the battery (s), they will [...]

13 rechargeable bat teries will first be fully charged and t hen discharged to determine th e battery(s) capacity (s). They are then ful ly charged again. During the first ch arging cycle, the di splay of current (Fig ure 8) and voltage (Figure 9) will altern ate on the LCD. The charging current Te s t m o d e (Fig ure 8) The charging voltage Te s [...]

14 When in the disch arging stage, the v oltage (Figure 10) a nd discharging capacity (Fig ure 11) are displayed alternately. During the second charging cycle, the v oltage and the total ca pacity are displayed alt ernately. (Figure 1 1) The discharging capac ity (Figure 10) The voltag e Te s t m o d e Te s t m o d e[...]

15 When the rechar geable batteries ar e fully charged, the ca pacity (Ah) (Figure 12) and the voltage (V) (Figure 13) wi ll be shown alternatel y with “FULLTEST” displ ayed on the LCD. Note: When a ny one of the b atteries is in t he test mode, do not change the other batter y(s). To test additi onal battery(s), y ou must remove and reinstall [...]

16 TRICKLE CHARGING After the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the charger will giv e a small amount of curr ent to the rechargeable b atteries to maintain the fully charged l evel. This stage is auto matically launched a fter the rechargeable bat teries are fully char ged and kept in the ch arging unit. The “FULL” or “F ULLTEST” sign[...]
