OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OmniSource®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).

The charger will automatically stop the charge and beep 3 times when a full charge is detected on the
battery. The charge indicator will show only 1 Red light to indicate the battery has reached full charge. The
time required to reach a full charge will vary depending on the capacity of the battery and how much charge
is already in it before you start.
NOTE: Due to the special properties of Li-Ion batteries, the charge indicator may not accurately indicate the
actual status of the battery as it charges and the charger may seem to be turning on and off by itself after
the battery has reached a full charge. When this happens, the battery is ready for use, and should be
removed.
DISCHARGE / CHARGE MODE (for Ni-Cd type batteries)
Plug the appropriate adapter into the base module, and insert the battery to be charged. Once the charger
beeps to indicate that the battery is properly connected, press the Discharge button on the side of the unit.
The unit will beep 2 times and the green Discharge light will go on. The DISCHARGE light will stay on until
the battery is fully discharged, then the charger will switch automatically into the charge mode and charge
the battery fully.
NOTE: You should only use the Discharge feature with a Ni-Cd type battery. Discharging other type
batteries may cause damage.
