4. Operating Elements

5. Power Supply
The shipped power adapter is the power supply for this charger. In case you need to use other power adapter, please be aware that power supply has the
correct polarity plug. Also please be noted that power supply need be able to supply minimum 3.0A current. Low output power adapter could lead to working
improperly. After powering up, all LCD segments will light up and then showing firmware version 2.1 momentary. “null” will be shown when no battery is
loaded inside charger.

6. Operation
Once a rechargeable battery is inserted, its present voltage( for example, “1.12v”) will be displayed for 3 seconds, then 500mA default charging current will
be shown on display for another 3 seconds. If MODE or CURRENT button is not pressed during this 6 seconds, charging process will start. During the first 6
second time, If any button is pressed, the unit will wait for another 10s before finishing current slot setting. Press “SLOT” button will confirm the setting right
way without the needs of waiting the 10s auto time-out time elapsed. All other battery can be handled the same. So each battery can have its own setting
independently.
While the previous battery slot setting mode is in effective (telling by the flashing display of that battery slot LCD ), and the next battery is inserted, then both
battery slot display will be flashing, which means that any setting change will be applied for all batteries in setting mode at the same time.
Once start normal working mode, charging current can no longer be changed unless its working mode is changed or batteries are taken out from charger
and insert into charger again.
During normal working mode, if no particular slot is selected by pressing the SLOT button, MODE, CURRENT and DISPLAY button are always referring to 4
slots simultaneously. If a different working or display mode is desired for particular slot, press the SLOT button to select the slot and then
press “Mode” or “Display” to select your wanted working or display mode..
6.1 Mode Selection
 Press and hold the “MODE” button for 2 seconds to start working mode selection for all four battery slot.
 Press the “MODE” button subsequently to toggle among the “Charge”, ”Discharge”, ”Test” , “Quick Test” and “Refresh” mode
 When particular slot working mode need to be changed, press SLOT button to select the desired slot and then press MODE button to choose wanted
working mode.
 When working mode is changed, working current adjustment is possible.
6.2 Current Selection
Within the first 6 seconds after inserting battery or right after power up, press the “CURRENT” button to select desired charge current for slots loaded with
battery at the same time. Current setting can not be altered once setting has been confirmed in the initial stage. If different working current is needed
afterwards, either changing working mode or rechargeable battery must be taken out and inserted again. Discharge current is set to the selected charge
current selected.
6.3 Display Selection
“DISPLAY” button is for toggling display information for voltage, current, capacity, work time etc. Press “Display” button for 3s, it will turn on back light
permanently. Press this button for another 5s to de-activate this function.
6.4 SLOT Selection.
This button is used to select desired slots for different working mode, charge current or display mode. Press SLOT button will start the slots selection
processing in the sequence cycle of 1->2->3->4->4 slots->exit.

7. Overheat Protection
When charger works at high current, there will be massive heat generated inside the charger. To achieve a good charging result as well as keeping batteries
at the top condition, lowest temperature rise is very important for both charger and battery. BT-C3000 charger is equipped with a temperature controlled
cooling system. When internal temperature is lower than 40C, fan will be stopped. When internal temperature or battery temperature is over 40C, fan will be
switched on.
With our improved charging circuit design, for normal good quality battery with low impedance, heating built up on battery during charging process is almost
unnoticeable. However during the last charging stage for Ni-Cd or Ni-Mh batteries, when battery is almost full, batteries can become hot. This is normal: the
larger charging current applied, the more heat will build up. When battery temperature is sensed to be over 60C, then over heat protection will be kicked in
for safety reason. When overheating occurs, current working mode for all 4 slots will be automatically halted. To tell if it is in the state of overheating
protection mode, charging current will be reduced to 0mA.
Charging/discharging process will only resume after battery temperature drops below 40 degrees Celsius.

8. Operation Modes and Display

8.1 Operation Modes:
 Charge Mode: The rechargeable battery is charged up to its maximum capacity. Accumulated charging capacity is displayed at mAH display mode.
For Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries, after charging mode is completed, a trickle charge current (around 10mA) will be applied. For Li-ion battery, once
charge mode is completed, no trickle charge current will be applied. When Li-ion battery voltage is dropped less than 4.0v, then charging will be
activated until battery voltage reaches 4.20v.
 Discharge Mode: It is used to reduce the memory effect. The rechargeable battery is discharged to a preset battery voltage (0.9v for Ni-Cd & Ni-Mh,
2.8v for Li-ion batteries). Once discharge is finished, total accumulated discharging capacity is displayed at mAH display mode, showing how much
energy is discharged from the battery, which is always referring to the accumulated discharging capacity. Trickle charge current will be applied after
discharge cycle is finished, preventing the batteries from discharging any further for NiMh and NiCd battery.
 Refresh Mode: Rechargeable battery is charged and discharged repeatedly to optimize to its maximum capacity. Old rechargeable batteries or
those that have not been used for a long period of time can be restored to their rated capacity. Depends on selected charge current, battery
capacity and battery impedance (healthy state), it can take tens hours or even days time before complete. Refresh mode will make 3 complete
discharge-charge working cycles before complete. After discharge cycle is completed, total discharged capacity will be kept displayed in mAH
display state even next charging cycle is in progress.
 Test mode: Checks the present capacity of a rechargeable battery. The maximum capacity is determined by discharging the rechargeable battery
after it was fully charged. If the maximum capacity is much lower than the rated capacity then it may reach the end of its lifetime.
  Quick Test mode: The charger will analyze the dynamic internal battery resistance by applying a load and the current reading is referred to the
voltage drop detected on the battery. Within 10s, the tested battery resistance will be displayed in the unit of milliohm. For good quality batteries,
the internal resistance is very low: in the range of 20 ~ 80 milliohms. If battery internal resistance is over 500milliohms, then these batteries are not
good for supplying power to high current loads, such as digital camera etc. But they can still be used for low energy loads, such as clock, remote
controllers etc. Always use batteries with close internal resistance range when they are used in serial to achieve maximum battery life. Alkaline
and any other 1.5v batteries can be tested on this charger as well. If a completely empty battery is to be tested, it is not possible to give any correct
reading. Please be noted that since the internal battery resistance can be very small, and contact resistance can be a major influence factor, thus
same battery tested in different slot or even at the same slot with different contact condition, the reading can be varied for 10% to 20%. This is
normal. Test twice if needed to assure a correct measurement result. Due to the construction reason, there is around 30milliohm contact resistance
from the charger itself, and this resistance is calculated together with battery internal resistance. It should be deducted from the reading to get a
more accurate battery resistance reading.
When a high impedance battery( eg. Over 2500milli ohm) is loaded onto the charger, due to its high internal impedance, real displayed charging
current can be much less than your pre-selected charging current. When this happened, it doesn’t means the charger is defective. Eventually it
needs longer charging time until fully charged.
8.2 Display
 Charge/Discharge Current: instantaneous current is displayed.
 Time Elapsed: The charging/discharging time of the last cycle is displayed.
 Accumulated Capacity: The accumulated battery capacity is displayed in mAh. For discharge mode, it is referring to the accumulated energy
discharged from that battery. For refresh mode, previous charging capacity is displayed even when current working stage is at discharge cycle.
 Battery Voltage: The instantaneous battery voltage is displayed.
 At QUICK TEST mode, it shows the internal battery resistance in mili- ohm(0.001R).
 Full: After the rechargeable battery is fully charged in any of the operation modes, trickle charging will be started automatically. Trickle charging
prevents the rechargeable batteries from being overcharged and compensates for self-discharging of the batteries
