■Precautions for Handling the BU-24B/BU-24L While Charging
Prohibited
When charging two or three units at the same time, avoid charging the
BU-24B and BU-24L in combination.
The BC-100B is the exclusive charger for the BU-24B/BU-24L battery units. Up to three BU-24B
battery units can be charged at the same time. Similarly, up to three BU-24L battery units can
be charged at the same time. However, the BU-24B uses a lead storage battery, and the BU-
24L uses a lithium ion battery. The types of batteries used are different, so if these battery units
are charged in combination, there is a risk of battery degradation or an accident. When charging
multiple batteries, first be sure to check that they are all either BU-24B units or BU-24L units.
■Safety Precautions
The precautionary information that appears in this manual is for ensuring that the product is used safely

of this range might impair the BC-100B's performance and service life, resulting in damage
or deformation of the BU-24B/BU-24L.

■Product Overview
This charger is exclusively for the BU-24B/BU-24L.
Up to three BU-24B battery units can be charged at the same time. Similarly, up to three BU-24L battery units can
be charged at the same time.
■Names of Parts
■Using Methods
(1) Place the BU-24B/BU-24L on top of the exclusive BC-100B Battery Charger.
(2) Connect the power cable (provided) to the AC INLET on the rear panel of the BC-100B, and connect the
other end to the AC power outlet.
(3) During charging, the [CHARGE] lamp on the BU-24B/BU-24L lights (red). When the lamp changes color
to green, this indicates that charging is completed. It takes about 15 hours* to charge the BU-24B/BU-
24L.
*This is the reference charging time when the battery is fully charged at 20 °C. This charging time
may differ considerably depending on the remaining battery power and ambient temperature. The
charging time is the same for one or three BU-24B/BU-24L units.
●Use a 100 to 240 V AC single-phase power supply. However, if the power supply voltage exceeds
100 V, provide a power supply cable that complies with the laws, regulations, and safety standards of
the country or region where it is being used.
●Do not charge the BU-24B and BU-24L in combination.
●If the [CHARGE] lamp does not change color to green even considerably after 15 hours of charging, a
probable cause is a malfunctioning battery. Immediately disconnect the power cable, and contact
your Sibata distributor.
●For details, see the LV-40BR / LV-40BW operation manual.

this product, you may be asked by a sales representative to confirm whether or not it was exposed to asbestos.
(3) If you are delivering the product to Sibata via courier, in addition to the product model number, enter "AS" in the
"Details" and "Name of Goods" fields on the invoice. This is to prevent the staff from damaging the sealed bags
with a box cutter when unpacking the delivery.
●The above mentioned request is noted for all similar products involved in asbestos measurement.
