467 - MODEL BCR467
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing LENMAR’s OmniSource 467, model BCR467. With it you can charge AA, AAA
and virtually all 4.8, 6, 7.2, 9.6 or 10 Volt camcorder batteries. This charger is compatible with Nickel
Cadmium, Lead Acid, Lithium-Ion, Nickel-Metal Hydride, and NoMEM® batteries. The BCR467 will operate
as an AC/DC Battery Charger and Reconditioner.
The OmniSource 467 will operate from a standard household AC outlet, or on the road from a 12 Volt
cigarette lighter socket. It is a complete, convenient system to refresh, condition, and charge almost any of
your rechargeable batteries.
Getting Ready...
CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY
To charge or discharge batteries, either the AC Adapter or the DC Automotive Adapter must be plugged into
the jack marked "DC INPUT" on the Base Module. Once you have done this, plug the power adapter into an
AC receptacle or cigarette lighter (depending on which adapter you are using).
If You Have...
Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) Batteries
When you recharge a nickel-cadmium battery before it's fully drained, the battery "remembers" it is using
less than a full charge, resulting in a loss of capacity. Because of this, the BCR467 has a Discharge /
Charge feature which will automatically discharge your Ni-Cd battery and then charge it fully. Doing this will
assure that you will get the maximum life out of your Ni-Cd batteries.
NoMEM, Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion), Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), and Lead Acid (Pb) Batteries
These types of batteries do not have a problem with "Memory". Be sure to follow the recommended charging
and storage instructions for the battery type you are using.
Using Your OmniSource 467
CHARGE MODE (for all battery types)
Plug the appropriate adapter into the proper power source (either a household AC outlet or 12 Volt Car
cigarette lighter) and plug the other end into the charger base module connector marked DC 12-18V INPUT.
Insert the battery into the proper charging slot (see diagram for proper battery location).
