Battery Charger BT-C2000
1. Intended Use
The charger is intended to charge and discharge NiCd or NiMH chemistry rechargeable batteries
only. It provides four independent charging slots for AA or AAA rechargeable batteries. The
included adapters provide the additional ability for C & D size rechargeable batteries. The charger
can also test and optimize the maximum capacity of the rechargeable batteries. Each charging slot
has its own display to show various information such as, charging current, battery voltage, charged
capacity, discharged capacity, battery internal resistance and time. Second generation hardware
including Delta-Sigma 16 bit ADC provides improved charging circuit performance and thermal
management.
The charger can charge or test batteries of different type, different size, and different capacity at
the same time. Each charging slot may be programmed with a different working mode and current
parameters if desired. When charging is complete FULL will show in that channel display then the
maintenance charge is started automatically.
