OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Battery Charger BT-C3100 V2.2
1.
Intended Use
The product is intended to charge and discharge NiCd, NiMH or 3.7v Li-ion
rechargeable batteries in size type of 16340, 10440, 14500, 16340, 18500,
18650, 26650, 26500. It provides four independent charging slots for
rechargeable batteries. The charger can also optimize and test the
maximum capacity of rechargeable batteries. Each charging slot has its
own display showing various information: charging current, battery voltage,
charged capacity, battery internal resistance and elapsed charging time.
Charging current can be selected for 200mA, 300mA, 500mA , 700mA,
and 1000mA ( if only bay 1 and/or 4 are used to charging batteries, current
1500mA and 2000mA can be further selected).
Default charging current is 500mA. For Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries, the
maximum discharging current is 700mA( when 1000mA charging current is
selected with TEST or REFRESH mode, the discharging current is still
700mA).
Discharging current can be selected between 200mA, 300mA, 500mA,
700mA and 1000mA for Li-ion batteries.
Default charging or discharging current is 500mA
The charger can charge batteries of different type and size and with
different capacity at the same time. It also integrates the minus delta
voltage (-ΔV) for NiCd or NiMh battery charging termination, and for Li-ion
batteries charging to 4.2V with pre-selected CC/CV standard lithium
charging algorithm.
When battery is fully charged, the charger will switch to trickle charging
automatically for NiCd, NiMH rechargeable batteries, therefore battery will
be kept at its optimum capacity. With Lithium battery, there is no trickle
charge current when charging is completed due to maintain battery safety
reason. However when li-ion batteries voltage is dropped below 4.12v,
charger will start charging batteries to full automatically.
Charger also includes overheat detection to protect rechargeable batteries
and charger itself from overheating. When temperature sensor detects
PCB or battery voltage is over 40 degrees Celsius, then ventilation fan
will be turned on automatically. Only when all 6 temperature sensors
temperature is measured less than 40 degrees Celsius, then the fan will be
switched off.
The charger can only be powered by power supply rated 12v/3.0A.
Operate and store it in dry indoor environment only.
This product fulfills European and national requirements related to
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). CE conformity has been verified and
the relevant statements are available upon request.
Unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the device are
inadmissible because of safety and approval reasons (CE). Any usage
other than described above is not permitted and can damage the product
and lead to associated risks such as short-circuit, fire, electric shock, etc.
Please read the operating instructions thoroughly and keep them for future
reference.
The charger has its backlight turned on after each key press. Back light will
be switched off after 30 seconds when no key is pressed.
The maximum charging capacity can be up to 20,000mAH.

Safety Instructions
We do not assume liability for resulting damages to property or personal
injury if the product has been abused in any way or damaged by improper
use or failure to observe these operating instructions. The warranty will
then expire!
3.1 Product Safety
The product must not be exposed to substantial mechanical strain or
strong vibrations.
The product must be protected against electromagnetic fields, static
electrical fields, extreme temperatures, direct sunlight and moisture
The manufacturer’s instruction for the respective batteries must be
observed, before they are charged.
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 destroy the product. Wait until
the product adapts to the new ambient temperature before use.
Sufficient ventilation is essential when operating the charger. Never cover
the ventilating slots of the charger, especially area in front of the cooling
fan need to be at least 8cm free open area for enough ventilation purpose.
Please take cautions especially when ambient temperature is over 35
degrees Celsius and charging current rate is over 0.5C. If higher charging
current applied, it is more easy to build up temperature on batteries.
3.2 Battery Safety
Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the batteries.
Non-rechargeable batteries, rechargeable alkaline batteries (RAM),
