OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Model: BT-C3400 V3.1

Universal Battery Charger

Intended Use

The BT-C3400 charger is intended to charge and discharge

NiMH, NiCd and Lithium Ion (Li-ion 3.7v nominal 4.2V max)

chemistry rechargeable batteries only. It provides four

independent battery charging slots. 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/discharging current,

battery voltage, charged capacity, discharged capacity,

battery internal resistance and time.

The BT-C3400 charger can charge, discharge 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 is shown in the display for

that battery channel.

 The manufacturer’s instructions for the respective

batteries must be observed. Ensure the batteries can

accept the programmed charge and discharge rates

before attempting operation.

 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

only in a well ventilated area.

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,

lithium iron phosphate or other than Lithium Ion

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, NiCd or Lithium Ion rechargeable

batteries. Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries

due to risk of fire or explosion of the batteries.
