BCA-1210
Battery Charger-Analyzer for small battery systems
(up to 10A-Hr)
- The BCA-1210 is an instrument designed to charge, trickle charge and analyze (discharge) Nickel-Cadmium, Sealed Lead-Acid and other types of rechargeable batteries.
- With its multiple modes of operation of Constant Current Charge, Constant Current & Float Charge, Constant Current & Peak Stop Charge, Automatic Discharge (analysis) and Full Discharge (deep cycle), the BCA-1210 can satisfy the requirements of most small (0 to 10 A-hr) rechargeable battery systems.
- The charger features safety interlocks to protect the operator, the charger and the battery in the event of reversed polarity connection, short circuit, open circuit (no load) and overvoltage conditions.
- Two large LED digital meters permit the simultaneous monitoring of voltage and current, while six indicator lights inform of the status of the operation.
- An integral electronic timer (w/battery back-up) complements the BCA-1210 charge and discharge operations in applications requiring a time limit.
1.1 CURRENT:
Charge: constant current, adjustable: 0 to 1.999A, in steps of 1mA (0.001A).

1.3 MODES:
CC - Constant Current Charge.
CV - Constant Current Charge followed by Constant Voltage Charge.
PEAK - Constant Current Charge and stop at Peak Voltage.
ANALYSIS - Capacity Test Discharge.
DISCH - Full discharge.
1.4 VOLTAGE CONTROL:
Adjustable: Usable from 3.00 to 44.0V, with an accuracy of 1% ±.1V.
1.5 METERS:
Voltage: 3-1/2 digit, LED digital panel meter, 0 to 19.99 and 199.9V scales.
Current: 3-1/2 digit, LED digital panel meter, 0 to 1.999A scale for charge and 0 to 19.99A scale for discharge.
1.6 STATUS INDICATORS:
RUN - Output is on.
CYCLE END - Pulsating (with beeper) to indicate end of a peak charge cycle or any timed cycle.
PEAK VOLTAGE - The battery has charged to the programmed peak voltage.
VOLTAGE FAULT - Reversed polarity or overvoltage.
CAPACITY FAILURE - Low battery voltage on analysis.
1.7 CONTROLS:
Mode selector switch, RUN-RESET switch, voltmeter scale selector switch, timer speed switch and potentiometer to select the charge and discharge currents.
