Introduction
The BMC-3 battery (Ni-MH 900mAh) is be used in the NKC-1X transceiver by default. It
is also possible to use the BLC-2 (Li-ion 950mA) battery.
Interface
The battery block contains NTC and BSI resistors for temperature measurement and bat-
tery identification. The BSI fixed resistor value indicates the chemistry and default
capacity of a battery. The NTC-resistor measures the battery temperature. Temperature
and capacity information is needed for charge control. These resistors are connected to
BSI and BTEMP pins of the battery connector. The phone has pull-up resistors for these
lines so that they can be read by A/D inputs in the phone (see the figure below). Serial
resistors in the BSI and BTEMP lines are for ESD protection. Both lines also have spark
caps to prevent ESD. There is also a varistor in the BTEMP line for ESD protection.

The batteries have a specific red line, which indicates if the battery has been subjected to
excess humidity (red line spreads). The batteries are delivered in the protection mode,
which gives longer storage time. The voltage seen in the outer terminals is zero (or float-
ing), and the battery is activated by connecting the charger. The battery has internal pro-
tection for overvoltage and overcurrent.
