This is the Bantam Hobby Technology E-Station BC6-10. The E-Station BC6-10 is a microprocessor controlled high performance rapid charger and discharger for NiCD, NiMH, Lithium Polymer and Pb batteries. The E-Station BC6-10 features easy to operate programming. All of the basic factors are optimized and pre-programmed for easy operation and maximum safety. The BC6-10 employs a high-quality aluminum outer case that is durable and efficient to cooling internal heat.
Operating software
Every operating program in the unit is controlled with mutual links and communications to prevent every possible error, so it introduces the maximum safety, such as input voltage warning, reverse polarity protection and Lithium cell-count input error warning.
High-power and high-performance circuit
The E-Station BC6-10 employs the circuit that has maximum output power of 200W. As a result, it can charge or discharge up to 18 cells of NiCd/NiMH and 6 series of Lithium batteries with maximum current of 10A. Furthermore, the cooling system is so efficient that can hold such a power without any trouble of running the circuit or the operating program.
Individual voltage balancer for Lithium batteries
The E-Station BC6-10 has an individual cell voltage balancer inside. So it does not need any balancer separately when charging Lithium batteries (LiIo/LiPo/LiFe) for voltage balancing.
Balance individual cells on discharge
The E-Station BC6-10 also can monitor and balance individual cells of the Lithium battery pack during the discharge process. If the voltage of any one cell varies abnormally, the process will be stopped with the error message.
Accept various types of Lithium battery
The E-Station BC6-10 can accept three types of Lithium batteries LiIo, LiPo and LiFe. They have different characteristics by their chemistry. You can select any one of them that you are going to process before the job. For their specifications, refer 'Warnings and safety notes' section.
Lithium battery 'Fast' and 'Storage' mode
You can charge Lithium battery for special purposes. 'Fast' charge reduces the charging time of Lithium battery and 'Storage' mode controls the final voltage of the battery to be suit for long time storage.
Maximum safety
Delta-peak sensitivity: The automatic charge termination program works on the principle of the Delta-peak voltage detection. (NiCd/NiMH)
Auto-charge current limit: When charging NiCd or NiMH at 'AUTO' current mode, you can set the upper limit of charge current to avoid from feeding high current to the battery. This is very useful when charging the low impedance and small capacity NiMH battery in 'AUTO' mode.
Capacity limit: The charging capacity always calculated by multiple of the charging current and time. If the charging capacity exceeds the limit the process will be terminated automatically when you set the maximum value.
Temperature limit: The temperature of the battery on charging will rise by its internal chemical reaction. If you set the limit of temperature the process will be expired forcibly when the limit has been reached.
Processing time limit: You can also restrain the maximum processing time to prevent from any possible defect.
Input power monitor: To protect the car battery using as input power from being damaged, its voltage always being monitored. If it drops below the lower limit the process will be ended automatically.
Automatic cooling fan: The electric cooling fan comes into action automatically only when the internal temperature of the unit is raised.
Data store/load
For users convenience, it can store maximum 10 data of different batteries. You can establish
the data contains program setting of the battery to charge or discharge. These data can be called
back at any time you need and the process can be executed without program setting.
Cyclic charging/discharging
Perform 1 to 5 cycles of charge>discharge or discharge>charge continually for battery
refreshing and balancing.
PC based analysis using USB communication
For technical expert, BC6-10 offers PC based program can analysis the characteristic of the
battery by USB port. It shows a graph of voltage, current, capacity and temperature curves. It also
shows the individual voltage of each cell in the Lithium battery pack.
