The BC-6 is AC and DC compatible right out of the box, no external power adapter needed. Charge up to 16 cells of NiCd/NiMH and 6S of Lithium batteries with a maximum charge rate of 5.0A. The BC-6 has an individual-cell-voltage balancer built in, so you won't need an external balancer when charging Lithium batteries (Li-Ion/LiPo/LiFe). High-quality aluminum case is durable and helps the charger cool efficiently.
Be sure to pick up an adapter board so you can take advantage of this charger’s balancing function.
The BC-6 also can monitor and balance individual cells during the discharge process. If the voltage of any one cell varies abnormally, the process will stop an error message will appear. Perform 1 to 5 cycles of charge and discharge to keep your batteries refreshed and balanced.
The BC-6 charges three types of Lithium batteries - LiIo, LiPo and LiFe. Safely charges any of these battery chemistries. 'Fast' charge reduces the charging time of Lithium batteries and 'Storage' mode controls the final voltage of the battery for long-term storage.
The BC-6 stores information about up to 5 batteries in its internal memory. Each battery's info can be recalled at any time, saving you time in reprogramming.
For advanced users, the BC-6 offers an optional FREE PC-based program that can analyze your battery via a USB connection. It shows a graph of voltage, current, capacity and temperature curves. It also shows the individual voltage of each cell in your pack. The USB Module and Cable Kit is required.
