OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Battery Charger BT-C100

1. Intended Use

The product is intended to charge and discharge NiCad, NiMH , LiFeO4,

Li-ion 3.7v and Li-ion 3.85v rechargeable batteries. When Li-ion battery

is in charger, it is possible to turn USB output on with 5v/2.1A output.

USB output can detect device type connected and having 1.0A, 1.5A and

2.1A driving capability. USB power parameters, like voltage, current

and Ampere-Hour value are displayed on LCD. USB power line display

data displayed on BT-C100 is useful for evaluating your device battery

healthy state: How many AH needed to fully charge the device and it is

easy to tell the energy needed for fully charging has decreased

significantly when battery life is reaching its life time.

When battery voltage is less than 3.1v or load current is over 2.5A,

BT-C100 will automatically shutdown USB output to protect battery from

draining up completely. When there is no DC power connected, charger

can get power from Li-ion battery, but not possible to operate by itself

with 1.2v rechargeable battery mounted.

BT-C100 is an analyzing charger, it measures rechargeable battery

parameters, such as battery impedance, battery capacity (mAh charged

or discharged), battery voltage and elapsed working time.

Charging current can be selected from 200mA to 2000mA for 1.2V type

Nimh battery, and for Li-ion batteries, maximum charging current is

1600mA. when 5v power is connected, charger will limit Li-ion battery

charging current to 1000mA automatically.

Discharging current can be selected from 100mA to 1000mA for NimH

battery, Li-ion battery discharging current is limited to 700mA due to heat

control safety reason.

During Li-ion battery charging state, if USB output is turned on, then

displayed mAH data can be much higher than battery capacity, this is

due to part of charging current is bypassed to USB output circuit. Please

be aware this and it is not charger wrong for its displayed mAh data not

matching battery rating capacity..

Charger will automatically reduce 500mA working current when over

heat is sensed(over 80C) during charging or discharging state. It will

resume full working current until temperature is lower than 50C degrees

sensed.

When charging NiMH or NiCd battery with its impedance larger than

250mR, then maximum charging current will be limited to 1.0A to keep

battery not overheated during high current charging period. For those

batteries with high internal impedance, charging current will build heat

inside battery and the purpose of this behavior is to reduce heat

generated during charging and it is good in keeping battery relatively

cool during the charging cycle.

The charger can only be powered by power supply rated 12v/1.0A or

Micro USB 5.0v/2.0A or li-ion battery itself with voltage higher than 3.1v..

The charger has its backlight turned after power is connected or li-ion

battery mounted. Back light can’t be switched off.

This product fulfills European and national requirements related to

electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). CE conformity has been verified

and the relevant statements are available upon request.

Unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the device are

inadmissible because of safety and approval reasons (CE). Any usage

other than described above is not permitted and can damage the product

and lead to associated risks such as short-circuit, fire, electric shock, etc.

Please read the operating instructions thoroughly and keep them for

future reference.

Maximum charging capacity can be up to 20,000mAH or maximum

cycle working time is over 100 Hours.

3. Safety Instructions

We do not assume liability for resulting damages to property or personal

injury if the product has been abused in any way or damaged by

improper use or failure to observe these operating instructions. The

warranty will then expire!

3.1 Product Safety

 The product must not be exposed to substantial mechanical strain

or strong vibrations.

 The product must be protected against electromagnetic fields,

static electrical fields, extreme temperatures, direct sunlight and

moisture

 The manufacturer’s instruction for the respective batteries must be

observed, before they are charged.

 The product should not be connected immediately after it has been

brought from an area of cold temperature to an area of warm

temperature. Condensed water might destroy the product. Wait

until the product adapts to the new ambient temperature before

use.

Sufficient ventilation is essential when operating the charger. Never

cover the ventilating slots of the charger.

3.2 Battery Safety

 Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the batteries.

 Non-rechargeable batteries, rechargeable alkaline batteries (RAM),

lead acid batteries and lithium batteries must not be charged with

this product. There is danger of explosion!

 Batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a

long period of time to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or

damaged batteries might cause acid burns when in contact with

skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted

batteries.

 Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave the

battery lying around, as there is risk, that children or pets swallow

it.

 When charging current more than 1.0A is selected for charging,

charger should not be left unattended in house. Though charger

provides overheat protection, but some defects is not controllable

by charger itself. There should have people around during

charging.

Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire.

Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!

3.2 Miscellaneous

 Repair works must only be carried out by a specialist/specialist

workshop.

 If you have queries about handling the device, which are not

answered in this operating instruction, please check with the

distributor for further help.

4. Operation

Once a rechargeable battery is inserted, battery voltage (for example,

“1.12v”) will be displayed. If MODE or CURRENT button is not pressed,

BT-C100 charger will start the working mode in 10seconds. If Current

button is pressed to select different working current, then 3 seconds after

key operation, charger will start the working mode. For those batteries

with impedance higher than 250mR, charger can only accept charging

current not larger than 1.0A due to safety consideration reason.
