This product has been discontinued. Please check out the latest version, the BC6DX-II.
The BC6DX utilizes the same user updatable firmware that of the High Powered Bantam e-Station BC8DP. With the largest LCD display of any charger in the 50 watt AC/DC category, programming is easy and fast. No more scrolling page after page to see all the important information of your chargers progress as 2-line display's are limited in what can be displayed.
Each BC6DX includes one Bantam E-Station CSRC/Align/E-Flite Style Balancing Adapter Board. Be sure to select an additional adapter board if needed so you can take advantage of this charger’s balancing function.
Operating software
Every operating program in the unit is controlled with mutual links and communications to prevent every possible error, so it introduces the maximum safety, such as input voltage warning, reverse polarity protection and Lithium cell-count input error warning.
Individual voltage balancer for Lithium batteries buit in
The BC6DX has an individual-cell-voltage balancer built in. So it does not need an external balancer when charging Lithium batteries (LiIo/LiPo/LiFe) for cell balancing.
Balance individual cells on discharge
The BC6DX also can monitor and balance individual cells on Lithium batteries during the discharge process. If the voltage of any one cell varies abnormally, the process will be stopped with an error message.
Dual Input Power
The BC6DX employs a circuit that can be operated at AC (Alternating Current) or DC (Direct Current) input power. The charger contains a AC-DC switching power supply which has maximum output power of 60 watts for charging. As a result, it can charge up to 15 cells of NiCd/NiMH and 6 series of Lithium batteries. There may be the limit of feeding current to a higher voltage battery.
Accept various types of Lithium battery
BC6DX can accept three types of Lithium batteries - LiIo, LiPo and LiFe. They have different characteristics by their chemistry. You can select any one of them that you are going to process before the job. For their specifications, refer 'Warnings and safety notes' section.
Lithium battery 'Fast' and 'Storage' mode
You can charge Lithium battery for special purposes. 'Fast' charge reduces the charging time of Lithium battery and 'Storage' mode controls the final voltage of the battery to be suit for long time storage.
Data store/load
For users convenience it can store maximum 10 data of different batteries. You can establish the data contains program setting of the battery to charge or discharge continually. These data can be called out at any time you need and the process can be executed without reprogramming.
Cyclic charging/discharging
Perform 1 to 10 cycles of charge>discharge or discharge>charge continually for battery refreshing and balancing.
PC based analysis using USB communication
For advanced users, the BC6DX offers an optional FREE PC-based program that can analyze your battery via a USB connection. It shows a graph of voltage, current, capacity and temperature curves. It also shows the individual voltage of each cell in your pack. The USB Module and Cable Kit is required.
