- MODEL BCR06
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing LENMAR’s OmniSource Micro Model BCR06. With it you can charge virtually all 6 Volt Nickel
Cadmium and NoMEM® batteries (except NoMEM Gold Series ) used with VHS-C, 8mm, and Hi-8 Camcorders. The
BCR06 will operate as an AC/DC Battery Charger and Reconditioner.
The BCR06 will operate from a standard household AC outlet, or on the road from a 12 Volt cigarette lighter socket. The
BCR06 is a complete, convenient system to refresh, condition, and charge your 6 Volt camcorder batteries.
Getting Ready...
CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY
To charge batteries, either the AC Adapter or the DC Car Adapter must be plugged into the jack marked “DC INPUT” on
the Base Module. Once you have done this, plug the power adapter into an AC receptacle or cigarette lighter (depending
on which adapter you are using).
Selecting The Proper
Charging Mode For Your Battery
Ni-Cad (or Nickel Cadmium) Batteries
When you recharge a nickel-cadmium battery
before it's fully drained, the battery "remembers" it is using less than a full
charge, resulting in a loss of capacity. Because of this, the BCR06
has a
Discharge / Charge feature which will
automatically discharge your Ni-Cad battery and then charge it fully. Doing this will assure that you will get the maximum
life out of your Ni-Cad batteries.
You may also choose to fully discharge your Ni-Cad batteries before storing them for any reasonable period of time. Use
the
Discharge Only feature to properly prepare your Ni-Cad batteries before you store them.
