  • Page 3: Product Name

    The new Model UC 24YJ is a general-purpose rapid charger that has been developed based on the current Model UC 24YC to meet the market demand. The Model UC 24YJ can charge batteries from 7.2 V to 24 V in shorter times than the current Model UC 24YC.

    4. SELLING POINTS Capable of charging batteries at low temperatures rapidly (The charging time required for recharging a battery at a temperature of -5˚C is shortened from 2.5 hours to 40 minutes.) Charging time indicator lamp indicates the time Capable of charging conventional up to completion of charging in 3 steps (remaining 7.2 V to 24 V batteries charging time can be seen at a glance).

    4-1-1. Capable of charging batteries at low temperatures rapidly The Model UC 24YJ can charge a battery at a temperature of 5˚C or less. At first, the battery is charged at a low charging current. When the battery gets warm (over 5˚C), the charging current turns high. Thus a battery at a low temperature can be rapidly charged.

    (switching) the control switch at high frequency (see Fig. 2). The Model UC 24YJ is also equipped with this system, however, the high frequency may cause noise in a television or a radio. To prevent this noise problem, avoid connecting the Model UC 24YJ to the same receptacle where a television or a radio is connected.
  • Page 9 The Model UC 24YJ always stops charging just before the overcharge range. Thus the charging/ discharging cycles of a battery is increased.
  • Page 10 (2) Forcefully stops charging by means of battery internal temperature sensor: As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, each of the applicable batteries is equipped with a built-in thermistor or thermostat to detect the battery temperature. Charging is stopped when the battery reaches the charging stop temperature even if the battery is not fully charged.

    (1) Because the shape of the B-2 (7.2 V) battery is different from others, it cannot be connected to the Model UC 24YJ. (2) Even if the B-3 (9.6 V) battery is connected to the Model UC 24YJ using the optional accessory adapter, recharging is not possible because the internal wiring of the battery is different from the others.
