About the charging process 

 
The  applied  charging  process  is  patented  worldwide  and  has  received  innovation 

awards.  Starting with series 

BCS 5400/5401 (m) +

,  we  are working with a new and 

unique  technology  for  charging  batteries,  especially  for  detecting  the  causal  100% 

charge  level  of a battery.   Analogous  to  the current  process,  fully new methods are 

applied to charge batteries. This enables the 100% full charge level to be specified for 

batteries featuring different types of technology (NC, NMH, LiIon, Pb, and more). This 

was possible because an alternating current equivalent circuit diagram has been used 

for  the  first  time  to  calculate  the  process  inside  the  cell  (interior  impedance  at  the 

electrode-electrolyte  transition).  Originally  used  for  applications  with  maximum 

reliability requirements, e.g. involving medical technology like life-support systems, and 

this technology is also found in other applications like safety equipment, UPS systems, 

electrical vehicles, radio stations, data collection devices, mobile telephones, laptops, 

and specific applications in the automotive industry. 

 

 

Thank  you  for  choosing  this  Nordisch  charging  station,  which  is  a  highly  developed 

charging  device.  Our  customers’  requirements  for  protection  against  overheating, 

modularity, operation and service-friendliness have motivated us to develop the type 

BCS-5400 (m) + multiple charging system. By charging your industrial tool batteries 

regularly  using  this  station,  you  can  increase  their  tool  life  between  2000  and  5000 

charging cycles (NiMh and NiCd batteries)!
