OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BT-C2000 Version 2.2

1. Intended Use

The charger is intended to charge and discharge NiCd or

NiMH chemistry rechargeable batteries only. It provides four

independent charging slots for AA or AAA rechargeable

batteries. The included adapters provide the additional ability

for C & D size rechargeable batteries. The charger can also

test and optimize the maximum capacity of the rechargeable

batteries. Each charging slot has its own display to show

various information such as, charging current, battery voltage,

charged capacity, discharged capacity, battery internal

resistance and time. Second generation hardware including

Delta-Sigma 16 bit ADC provides improved charging circuit

performance and thermal management.

The charger can charge or test batteries of different type,

different size, and different capacity at the same time. Each

charging slot may be programmed with a different working

mode and current parameters if desired. When charging is

complete FULL will show in that channel display then the

maintenance charge is started automatically.

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.

mechanical strain or strong vibrations.

 Do not operate the charger if it appears damaged in any

way.

 The product must be protected against strong

electromagnetic fields, static electrical fields,

extreme temperatures, direct sunlight and moisture.

 The manufacturer’s instructions for the respective

batteries must be observed. Ensure the batteries can

accept the programmed charge and discharge rates

before attempting charging.

 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

cause damage. Wait until the product adapts to the new

ambient temperature before use.

 The product is to be used only in an indoor dry

environment.

 Sufficient ventilation must be provided when operating

the charger. Never cover the ventilating slots of the

charger. Ensure adequate ventilation for the batteries

under charge. Do not place the unit on the carpet as this

can block ventilation slots on the charger body. Operate

only in a well ventilated area.

2.2 Battery Safety

 Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the

batteries. Always insert the battery cells with the positive

tip facing the top of the charger.

 Non-rechargeable batteries, rechargeable alkaline

batteries (RAM), alkaline batteries, lead acid batteries

and lithium batteries must not be charged with this

product. There is danger of fire or 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

chemical burns when in contact with skin; therefore use

suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted batteries.

 Batteries must be kept out of reach of children and pets.

 Batteries must not be dismantled, short circuited or

thrown into fire. Never allow battery contacts to become

shorted.

 Use only NiMH or NiCd rechargeable batteries. Never

recharge non-rechargeable batteries due to risk of fire or

explosion of the batteries.
