Need explanation on BC6 or Trition 2 type of charger

[lengendcpf]

Hi, I have not used this type of charger before. Can anyone describe how to use it?

If I want to charge 1 or 2 Nimh, how to do it? Also how to charge battery pack.

Basically I don't have a slightest idea on to play with it. But looks interesting to me..

I try to google on the net, but don't seem to find a Guide on using this type of charger for Dummies..

You can download english manual in pdf form here:
http://www.wattsuprc.com.au/product_detail.asp?pid=ESBC6-10

Connect batts
Select current
select amount of cells
press go

If you have made a mistake it will beep and not start

If you have set up ok it will charge displaying voltage and current and time.

When finished it beeps a few times.

10 minute battery cradle
Use magnetic connectors - any size cells can be charged
I just need to make a fire resistant one now.

Hi Chodes, thanks for your reply.

Btw, for the input ac adapter, does your set comes with it?
Also the thing where you insert your batteries, how to make?

Is this type a very DIY type of charger? Meaning if I want to charge anything, example charge only 1 AA Nimh, I just get an adapter and put my battery inside, connect up the crocodile clip and set it on the charger's menu, the charging is good to go?

That charger does needs 11-18V. (PC powersupply is in the shelf behind)
Thats the bc6-10
The other bc6 model (cheaper) is 110-24v.

How to make? Piece of something flat , piece of something angled , something sticky so it stays together

Like I said , current,number of cells,go. (forgot to mention type of cell0

The other bc6 model (cheaper) is 110-24v.

Regarding this, is it an adapter type, like the ac adapter to laptop(in this case, the charger)?

Or just a cord type?

Sorry for asking so much details, as said, I need a Dummies' Guide.

Hello lengendcpf.

Maybe you should check in this (Voltcraft Li-Ion Battery Holder - Newbie Modding Guide) thread.

When charging multiple li-Ion cells its better and safer to use the RC chargers the way they where ment to be used, as balancing chargers.

Edit: Here is a good link:

How the hell do you solder magnets, anyway? I tried - and I'd forgotten that...the soldering iron would stick to the magnet.

Why are you trying to solder magnets out of curiosity?
