Concorde Battery has approved the BC-8000 (battery charger and capacity tester), BC-9000 (25-amp battery charger), and BatteryMINDer 12-volt and 24-volt versions for use on all RG series batteries.

The new BC-8000 (Concorde P/N 4168) was designed to provide a cost-effective battery charger and capacity tester for 12- and 24-volt batteries in one lightweight unit. The step-by-step digital display is easy to program for “set it and forget it” use. The BC-8000 provides an adjustable constant current load in 0.1-amp increments from 0.5 amp to 15 amps and 1.0-amp increments from 15 amps to 55 amps for discharge purposes. Additionally, the unit is a 25-amp charger capable of constant voltage and constant current charging for use on lead acid and nickel-cadmium batteries. The unit includes over-temperature protection, an audio warning when capacity test is complete, and an option for printable reports.
