Operating instructiOns fOr JapceLL Bc-9000 Battery charger
1. For your safety
To prevent damage to this charger or injury to yourself or others, please read the following operating instructions before usage. Keep the operating instructions for future reference.
2. Key Features
The BC-9000 features EIGHT independent circuits that charge
1-8 AA/AAA, NiHM/NiCd batteries in any combination.
6 level charge protection:
1. DV cut off.
2. Timer control protection.
3. Overheat protection.
4. Reverse Polarity Protection.
5. Short circuit protection.
6. Defective and non-rechargeable battery detection.
Two LCD screens displaying the charging progress, charging
voltage, charging current, charging time, battery inside resis­tance and battery capacity.
AC Adapter: 100-240V, 50/60Hz
3. Quick Start Directions
1. Put 1-8 AA/AAA batteries in the charger.
2. Plug in the charger.
3. Select a program using one of the two large keys on either side of the charger: charge/discharge/recycle 1/recycle 2/recycle 3.
4. Set the charge-/discharge current by using key 3 and 4. Con-
rm your choice by pressing key 1 (see section on “The key
functions”). The charging or discharging starts.
5. When using the recycle function you must set both the charge
and discharge current before conrming your choice.
6. When the batteries are fully charged the LCD screen turns off automatically.
7. Unplug the charger and remove the batteries when fully charged or not in use. Please observe the recommended charging time. Be careful not to overcharge your batteries.
8. Your batteries are charged and ready for use.
4. The Key Functions
1. The two large keys on either side of the charger set the pri-
mary charging programs:
Charge
Discharge
Recycling 1 (charge, discharge, recharge)
Recycling 2 (charge, discharge, recharge x 2)
Recycling 3 (charge, discharge, recharge x 3)
Beneath each LCD screen there are four keys that are used to set the charge-/discharge current:
Key 1:
Is used to conrm your choice. When you have set the charge-/ discharge current you press this key to conrm, and the charg-
ing begins.
Key 2:
Has no function in this regard, but is used to monitor the charg­ing status of your batteries.
Key 3:
Sets the charging current (from 1000-100 mA). It starts at a
1000 mA, and with each press the charging current is lowered
with 100mA. Once you have found the right setting, you conrm your choice by pressing key 1. (AAA batteries can’t be charged at more than 500mA - see “Charging current for AAA”)
Key 4:
Sets the discharge current (from 500-100 mA). It starts at a
500 mA, and with each press the discharge current is lowered
with 100mA. Once you have found the right setting, you conrm
your choice by pressing key 1.
NOTE:
When using the recycle function you must set both the charge and
discharge current before conrming your choice.

small keys above each cell to monitor the charging status of the individual battery.

5. Charging current for AAA batteries
AAA batteries can’t, and shouldn’t, be charged at more than 500mA.
When setting the charging current the charger will automatically halve the current for AAA batteries. This means that when you want to charge your AAA batteries and set the charging current to eg 1000mA, the actual charging current will only be 500mA. So if you want to charge your AAA batteries at say 300mA, you must set the charging current to 600mA and so on. See schedule below:
Battery types: Actual charging current
The chosen charging current (mA)
1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100
AA
1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100
AAA
500 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50
NOTE: The currents shown above are merely indicative. They will vary a bit depending on how many batteries you charge at a time. Many
batteries in the charger will (approximately) halve the current as
shown above, whereas fewer batteries will give a slightly higher charging current.
6. Charge Time
Type of Battery Battery Capacity
Charging Time

8. Care & Troubleshooting Tips
Children should only use this product under adult supervision.
Clean the charger with a dry clean cloth. Keeping the metal con­tacts clean will help maintain high performance.
If the LCD screen does not light up, make sure that the unit is properly plugged in. If the screen still fails to light up or ashes,
the charger may have a short circuit or the batteries may be de­fective/improperly inserted.
Correctly insert the batteries and avoid reversing the +/- pols.
Unplug the charger when the batteries are fully charged.
The charger is only intended for charging NiMH and NiCd bat-
teries. Charging other battery types may damage the charger, cause explosions or personal injury and / or property damage.
• Incorrect use may result in electric shock.
For indoor use only! Keep away from humid and hot places.
Do not disassemble or reassemble the charger.
• Don’t mix batteries of different sizes and capacities.
• The charger should be placed in a horizontal position when
used.
Batteries may contain hazardous materials, and may be non­disposable. Please dispose of the batteries in a correct and safe manner.
9. Caution
In case of emergency, please unplug the charger from the electric socket and locate your nearest dealer. Emergency cases include:
Smoke from the unit
• If the batteries change shape
• Liquid or material leakage
• Dropped and broken casing parts
10. Warning! Avoid electric shock
• To prevent electric shock or re do not expose this product to rain
or moisture.
• This charger is for indoor use only.
• The charger is only intended for charging NiMH and NiCd batter-
ies. Charging other battery types may damage the charger, cause explosions or personal injury and / or property damage.
• Always keep dry.
• Do not operate the charger if the plug is damaged.
