Lithium battery charging
The Bantam e-Station BC8DX supports the 3 lithium battery types used in RC
applications. Lithium Polyer, Lithium Ion, and Lithium Iron Nanophosphate (A123 Systems).
Each lithium type has its own low voltage and high voltage parameters and the Bantam
e-Station BC8DX has these preprogrammed for you. Just select the lithium type and you are
ready to go. The Bantam e-Station BC8DX supports several charging/discharging programs for
all lithium battery types including Normal, Balance, Storage, Fast, and Discharge.

Nicad / NIMH battery charging
The Bantam e-Station BC8DX supports both charging, discharging, cycling,
and formation charging of Nicad and NIMH batteries, up to 22 cells. The Bantam e-Station
BC8DX supports 3 types of Nicad / NIMH charging. Nomal charging, Linear charging, and
Reflex charging. Each treat the Nicad / NIMH differently. Batteries with high internal
resistance the Bantam e-Station BC8DX has the ability to delat the peak detection from 1
minute up to 15 minutes. The Delta Peak sensativity is also has 3 parameters, Default,
Disable, and Delicate. The Delicate setting allows the charger to detect very minor
variations in the delta peak voltage which some NIMH batteries may require.

Screen Display While Charging
The Bantam e-Station BC8DX during the battery charge or discharge program
will show you the battery information on the LCD display. On display graphing of the
battery charg or discharge curves, individual cell voltages, as well as temperature,
capacity, time, and mah input and output are all viewable.

The Bantam e-Station BC8DX charger is the most complete functional
charger available on the market today. For more information, please review the e-Station
BC8DX manual or contact us.

This is my Second Bantam Charger

Please read my review on the "Bantam e-Station BC6DC Lipo Balancing Charger"
I'm so impressed with the quality of my BC6DC charger that I decided to invest on BC8DC because this charger can charge two lipo's at one. I no longer fly nitro and having a charger that can do 2 lipo’s at the same time is super fast. No more for waiting for the charger to finish one and then charge again.
I love the fact that I can charge my transmitter on one channel and on the other channel on of my Lipo’s Wow!
Pro,
Super fast very and accurate charger
You can see the voltage of each cell as is charging
When you are flying and you feel you Lipo has a lot of Power, think of your charger, I do!
Large bright screen
Very intuitive charging modes
Feels very solid and not cheap
Cons,
Bantam should provide a screen protector like on Digital Cameras, I bought one for it.
Internal Resistance measurement, I think Evan has said something to Bantam.
Any questions you can contact me at Ezone under Flazo, I don’t work for Evan or RC accessories
BTW if you need further reviews please go to RC groups for the above charger.
