Overview
The BC-M150 Battery Charger is capable of simultaneous
charging of up to four of any following Lithium-ion Battery
Packs BP-L40A/L60A/IL75/L90A and Nickel Metal Hydride
Battery Packs BP-M50/M100, or to supply DC power to an
external device.
Features
Simultaneous connection of up to four battery packs
The BC-M150 can connect and charge up to four battery packs
at the same time. These battery packs may be either the BP-
L40A, the BP-L60A, the BP-IL75, the BP-L90A, the BP-M50,
the BP-M100, or any mix of the battery packs mentioned
above.
Quick and efficient charging
• When charging the lithium-ion battery packs, the BC-M150
first charges each battery pack to 80% capacity. Then, it
simultaneously charges all battery packs to 100% capacity.
• The BC-M150 charges the nickel metal hydride battery packs
to 100% capacity in sequence. However, it takes less time
than conventional battery charger.
For details, see “Charging system” on page 3(EN).
Compact and lightweight
The BC-M150 is compact, lightweight, and easy to carry.
Diagnostics function
The BC-M150 checks each connected battery pack for
abnormalities. An indicator flashes red and an error indication
appears in the LCD section for any battery pack that cannot be
charged normally.
Battery information display
The information on the connected battery packs, such as
capacity of the battery packs, remaining charging time, number
of cycles of charge and discharge, appears in the display. Note,
however, that type of information depends on the type of the
battery packs.
