Battery Charger Gembird BC-USB-02 USB Lithium-Ion NiCd NiMH

The Gembird BC-USB-02 USB Lithium-Ion NiCd NiMH is a compact multi-chemistry battery charger designed for household and light office use. It supports charging of Lithium-Ion, Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) and Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells in common sizes including A, SC, C, AAAA and AAA. The unit accepts a 5V USB input at 2A and provides simple LED indicators to show charging status. With a small footprint — 110 mm wide, 105 mm deep and 39 mm high — and a black casing, the charger is intended for everyday charging needs while meeting RoHS environmental and safety standards.

Advantages

The charger supports multiple battery chemistries and a range of cell sizes, reducing the need for several different chargers. LED indicators provide clear status information during charging. Its USB 5V/2A input allows use with common USB power sources such as wall adapters, power banks and computer ports. The compact dimensions and light weight make the device easy to store and useful when space is limited. RoHS compliance ensures the product is manufactured according to environmental and safety requirements.

How to use

Connect the Gembird BC-USB-02 to a suitable 5V USB power source using an appropriate USB cable. Insert rechargeable cells into the charger slots, observing correct polarity for each battery. Monitor the LED indicators to determine charging progress and completion; remove batteries when indicated as fully charged. Allow cells to cool briefly before handling after charging. Do not attempt to charge primary (non-rechargeable) batteries.

Recommendations

Use a USB power source capable of supplying 2A for optimal charging performance. Charge batteries of the same chemistry and similar capacity together, and avoid mixing new and old cells in the same charge cycle. Store the charger in a dry, well-ventilated area and keep it away from heat sources. Follow manufacturer guidance for individual battery types and discontinue use if any battery shows signs of damage, leakage, or overheating.
