The La Crosse Technology BC-900 charges both AA and AAA rechargeable NiMH or NiCD rechargeable batteries simultaneously and automatically. Charging automatically begins at 200 mA (or select 500, 700, 1000, 1500 or 1800 ma settings). Please note that this is the rate that your batteries are charged, not what capacity of batteries that the BC-900 will charge. The setting you select will determine how fast your batteries are charged. Rechargeable batteries will be discharged and recharged up 20 cycles or until rechargeable batteries are refreshed to maximum capacity. The four mode display shows voltage, current charge, time elapsed and accumulated capacity. The La Crosse BC-900 battery chargers Thermal safety circuit will even detect excessive temperature of your rechargeable batteries during charging.
The LaCrosse BC-900 Battery Charger is for anyone needing the very best in battery charging performance. The advanced features of the BC900 are what sets it apart from all current NiMH battery chargers. The La Crosse BC-900 charger is the Cadillac of battery chargers and one of the most advanced chargers on the market.
The BC900 will charge up to four of any rechargeable battery brand or capacity of AA or AAA, NiMH or NiCd rechargeable battery - up to 3000mAh. You can use it to charge virtually any AA, or AAA NiMH or NiCD rechargeable batteries you currently own or will purchase in the future.
4 Different Charging modes are user selectable !
At its heart of the BC-900 are four different charging modes: CHARGE, DISCHARGE, REFRESH, & TEST. No other battery charger on the market comes close to offering the versatility and flexibility of the BC900. Each mode offers a distinct advantage for the discriminating battery owner. Examine closely their capabilities:
- Charge Mode - allows a range of user selectable milliamp settings from 200 to 1800 for faster charging times. Within 4 seconds after rechargeable batteries are inserted charging automatically begins at 200mA, or you may select 500, 700, 100, 1500, or 1800mA charge rates for faster charging times.
- Discharge Mode - reduces memory effect by discharging rechargeable battery completely before recharging to full capacity. User selectable.
- Refresh Mode - discharges and recharges up to 20 cycles or until rechargeable battery is refreshed to full capacity. User Selectable.
- Test Mode- First charges the rechargeable battery to full capacity, then discharges completely to measure rechargeable battery capacity for display in mAh or Ah, and then recharges each rechargeable battery to full battery capacity.
4 Independant Charging Banks - means better charging for each battery rechargeable cell!
The BC-900 has four independent charging banks, so each battery cell is individually and optimally charged.
Full Fuction LCD Display shows complete Battery Information at any time!

Advanced Refresh Cycling - Like a Health Spa for your Batteries!
REFRESH: Batteries are run through a series of CHARGE/DISCHARGE cycles, attempting to increase the capacity of each cell. Charging stops when no further increases are obtained. A natural extension of the DISCHARGE mode, only now the process continues until cells are at maximum operating capacity.
6 User Selectable Charge rates !
Most battery chargers have one or even two charge currents, but the BC 900's charging current is adjustable for each charge mode. From 200mA all the way up to 1800mA. The BC900 allows you to slow charge for gentle battery care, or fast charge 2000mAh cells in just 70 minutes with its top charging rate! No other chargers on the market have this great feature.n
Advanced Temperature Sensor Circuit
The Temperature Sensor Circuit built in to the BC-900 will stop the charge cycle if the battery temperatures reach 127°F. As soon as the batteries have cooled the automatic charging will resume. This feature will greatly maximize the life of your rechargeable batteries when dangerous overheating is prevented.
BC-900 Specifications:
- Capable of charging Two Different Rechargeable Battery Sizes and types: AA & AAA NiCd and NiMH
- Each battery slot is completely independant, and functions are totally user selectable or the charger will operate automatically.
- AC adapter Input Voltage: 100-240 VAC 50-60 Hz
- Charging Current Range: 200 mA - 1800 mA - allows a range of user selectable milliamp settings from 200 to 1800 for faster charging times. Within 4 seconds after rechargeable batteries are inserted charging automatically begins at 200mA, or you may select 500, 700, 100, 1500, or 1800mA charge rates for faster charging times.
- Overall Charger Dimensions: 3.0" x 5.1" x 1.5"
The BC900 charger shuts off when each separate battery has reached full capacity, (LCD displays FULL.) Continuous trickle charge begins - its charge rate variable, and determined by the original charging current. The lower the CHARGE current, the lower the trickle current, and vice versa.
Short circuit and overload protections protect internal circuitry from damage. The BC-900 is one advanced battery charger. Available at Thomas Distributing
