The Best ALL-IN-One Universal Charger in the Market
Operating software
The operating program in this charger is executed with mutual links and communications with every components to prevent any possible error, so it introduces the maximum safety. Especially, the charging algorithm is so multifarious that you can select the best program to suit your requirement. And BC8DX has a large LCD for showing various information including charge/discharge graphs during the process.
High-power dual output circuit
BC8DX employs the circuit that features two totally independent but identical high-power outputs which are powered as much as 160watts each. As a result, it can charge or discharge up to 44 cells of NiCd/NiMH or 16 series of Li-ion/Li-Polymer batteries simultaneously. Furthermore, the twin-fan cooling system is so efficient that can hold such a power without any toruble of running the circuit.
Dual individual voltage balancer for Li-ion/Li-Polymer batteries
BC8DX has individual cell voltage balancers at both outputs. So it does not need any balnacer separately when charging Li-ion/Li-Polymer batteries (Lilo/LiPo/LiFe) for voltage balancing.
Balance individual cells on discharge
BC8DX also can monitor and balance individual cells of the Li-ion/Li-Polymer battery pack during the discharge process as well as "FAST" and "STORAGE" mode. If the voltage of any one cell varies abnormally, the process will be stopped with the error message.
Accept various types of Li-ion/Li-Polymer battery
BC8DX can accept three types of Li-ion/Li-Polymer batteries: Lilo, 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 in the user manual.
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 feeding high current to the battery. 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 you set the maximum value.
- Temperature limit: the temperature of the battery on charging or discharging will be raised by its internal chemical reaction. If you set the limit of temperature the process will be expired forcibly when the limit has been reached.
- Processing time limit: you can also restrain the maximum processing time to prevent any possible defect.
Cyclic charging/discharging
Perform 1 to 10 cycles of charger>discharge or discharge>charge continually for battery refreshing and balancing at both outputs.
PC based analysis using USB communication
For technical expert, BC8DX offers PC based program can analysis the characteristic of the battery via USB port. It shows a graph of voltage, current, capacity and temperature curves. It also shows the individual voltage of each cell in the battery pack. This program can run on both outputs with single USB link to PC.
