The Shimano Steps SM-BCC1 charger is not explicitly mentioned in the context, but based on the details about compatible chargers (EC-E6000 and EC-E6002), the output voltage of these chargers is 42V DC. When the charger is plugged in but not connected to a battery, it is expected to output approximately 42V DC on its charging pins.
