Additional battery information:
The design of a battery is different according to the manufacturer. Make sure that the
battery you use
a)
matches the adapter mechanically
b)
matches the internal contact arrangement
in the adapter
It is possible that the battery in fact matches the shape of the adapter you wish to use,
but the connection contacts inside the adapter still do not match those of the battery.
Or, the arrangement of the contacts matches, but the configuration of the contacts is
different. (figure 2).
Figure: Contacting principle (front view):
For this reason, always ensure that the battery type is pressed on to the adapter
properly. If you observe the previously indicated points and the adapter type matches
the battery, then you can slide the battery into the corresponding charging slot.
Nevertheless, if an acoustic signal sounds, please compare the contact configuration
of the battery with that of the adapter again. The BCS-5400/5401 (m) + is fully
compatible with the adapters of the previous series of our charging stations, i.e. all
adapters with the older design (8-pin connector) match the new charging station, and
in case older adapters are used, the BCS-5400/5401 (m) + works in compatibility
mode. For safety reasons, batteries after the year 2011 may only still be charged with
the new one-wire chip adapter, which may be recognised by its 10-pin connector plug.
We can convert older adapters for you after checking them.
In case of doubt, please read the troubleshooting chapter, contact the technical service
department, or talk with us directly.
