Introduction
The TC200i Battery Charger is electrically compatible with all 7.2V/14.4V Li-Ion camera batteries
rated 900mAh or higher. The modular design allows for different battery models to be charged and
tested when the appropriate adapter plate is fitted. Because the charger is software controlled, its
functionality allows for flexibility in charging and testing of batteries used. In addition to charging,
battery testing option is available.
Auto-detecting fast charging USB port for recharging tablets, handsets, personal media players and
other portable devices (Apple, Android, etc) works when AC power is available, and on-the-go when
at least one charged battery is available.
With the appropriate power cord, the charger can be powered by a 12V automobile power source
(except for the –EX configuration).
Standard Features
Two simultaneous charge positions for fast charging of multiple batteries.
Fast, safe, and reliable charging. The battery pack can be left on the charger after the charge
is complete.
The charger’s design is based on modern “Gas Gauge” technology. This determines battery
capacity by monitoring the amount of charge input or removed from a rechargeable battery.
The multifunction LCD display with backlight shows charge in progress data: voltage,
estimated percent of readiness, and actual amount of charge in mAh input to the battery
after battery insertion.
Auto-detecting fast charging USB port for recharging tablets, handsets, personal media
players and other portable devices (Apple, Android, etc).
Works when AC power is available, and on-the-go when at least one charged battery is
available.
Wide range input power compatibility (100-240VAC 50-60Hz), 12V with the DC cigarette
lighter cord (18-20V for –EX configuration).
Compact, lightweight design for easy portability.
Expansion Options
Thanks to modular design and software based functionality, the charger provides ultimate flexibility
for various video applications. Several expansion options are available.
Test/discharge circuit for complete battery characterization.
Automobile power source using the DC cigarette lighter cord (except for the –EX
configuration).
Batteries
The charger is capable of charging 2 batteries at the same time. It accepts Sony L (NP-F975, etc.),
Sony BP-U60, Panasonic DVX100/HVX200/HMC150 (CGR-D54/
VW-VBG6), Canon BP-945,
BP-970G, etc. (C100/C200/C300 camera, etc.), JVC BN-VF823 style batteries, and other common
types. The charger must be configured with the appropriate plate to match the battery style. The
charger is also compatible with non OEM batteries.
Charging time
The time to full charge depends on the battery pack rated capacity, its state of charge prior to
insertion, and its age. A fully discharged new 2800 mAh battery pack will be fully charged (more than
