PC-8050 Charger

Nickel Metal Hydride and Nickel Cadmium Battery Charger

2.4 VDC to 24 VDC (2 cells to 20 cells); 0.2 Amps to 5.0 Amps

Applications

  • Charges Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) and Nickel Metal Hydride  (NiMH) batteries
  • Optimally designed for batteries up to 20 Ampere Hours

COTS Charger Information

Features

  • Battery temperature monitoring capability
  • Four stage charger algorithm - microprocessor
  • Full charge based on zero slope voltage detect or rate of temperature increase
  • Microchip controlled charge termination
  • Programmed for specific cell count and capacity
  • LED displays for charging status
  • Single battery charger
  • Unattended charging

Operatinal Characteristics

  • Four stage algorithm operation
    • Soft start charge mode – the current increases gradually over the first two minutes from approximately one fifth of the bulk charge current up to the factory set bulk charge rate
    • Bulk charge mode – current is supplied to the battery at the rate programmed into the charger for the specific battery pack
    • Topping charge mode – current is supplied for two hours at a C-10 rate to complete the charge cycle
    • Maintenance charge mode – current is supplied at the C/40 rate until the battery is removed
