Section 1 Operation
1-1-1 Features
The BC-1WD/1WDCE is a battery charger capable of continuous
charging, into which any four NP-1/1A/1B battery packs can be
inserted simultaneously.
The BC-1WD/1WDCE is equipped with the following features.
Up to four battery packs can be inserted
Up to four NP-1/1A/1B battery packs can be inserted and charged in
order. More than four battery packs can be charged continuously by
removing the fully charged battery packs and replacing them with
discharged ones.
Compact and lightweight
The BC-1WD/1WDCE is compact, lightweight, and easy to carry.
Automatic refresh function
If a battery pack with remaining capacity is charged repeatedly, the
storage capacity of the battery may be reduced due to memory effect
(phenomena by which the remaining battery capacity is memorized).
To prevent against this memory effect, an "auto refresh function" is
provided to fully discharge a battery pack automatically before
charging.
Diagnostics functions
The BC-1WD/1WDCE has functions to check for abnormalities in the
connected battery packs. A red and green lamp will alternately flash
when a battery pack cannot be normally charged indicating an
abnormal condition.
Life judgement function
The available capacity of the battery is indicated. This criterion is
used to determine the life of the battery pack.
Fully charged battery skip function
When a fully charged battery pack is inserted into the BC-1WD/
1WDCE, the battery is neither charged nor discharged, and the
indication "Charging End" will appear on the display.
