- MODEL BCR467
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing LENMAR’s OmniSource 467, model BCR467. With it you can
charge AA, AAA and virtually all 4.8, 6, 7.2, 9.6 or 10 Volt camcorder batteries. This
charger is compatible with Nickel Cadmium, Lead Acid, Lithium-Ion, Nickel-Metal Hydride,
and NoMEM® batteries. The BCR467 will operate as an AC/DC Battery Charger and
Reconditioner.
The OmniSource 467 will operate from a standard household AC outlet, or on the road
from a 12 Volt cigarette lighter socket. It is a complete, convenient system to refresh,
condition, and charge almost any of your rechargeable batteries.
Getting Ready...
CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY
To charge or discharge batteries, either the AC Adapter or the DC Automotive 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).
If You Have...
Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) 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 BCR467 has a Discharge / Charge feature which will automatically discharge
your Ni-Cd battery and then charge it fully. Doing this will assure that you will get the
maximum life out of your Ni-Cd batteries.
NoMEM, Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion), Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), and Lead Acid (Pb) Batteries
These types of batteries do not have a problem with "Memory". Be sure to follow the
recommended charging and storage instructions for the battery type you are using.
Using Your OmniSource 467
CHARGE MODE (for all battery types)
Plug the appropriate adapter into the proper power source (either a household AC outlet
or 12 Volt Car cigarette lighter) and plug the other end into the charger base module
connector marked DC 12-18V INPUT. Insert the battery into the proper charging slot (see
diagram for proper battery location).
