Italian manufacturer Forelettronica/BC Battery Controller has a new version of its multi-platform battery charger available to work through the CAN-Bus system on current BMW models.
The "smart and automatic" BC charger is said to be the only battery charger on the market that is able to charge lead‐acid and Lithium batteries. Equipped with two separate charging algorithms for lead (traditional, sealed or gel) and Lithium batteries, it is compatible with all 12V batteries on motorcycles and scooters.
The new K900 Evo, which will debut at EICMA, offers the user the option to select among different charging programmes, according to the type of battery, and has two additional programmes, "Lead‐Acid CAN‐Bus" and "Lithium CAN‐Bus" that allow it to connect directly to the 12V standard socket of CAN‐Bus system BMWs, whatever the battery onboard may be.
The company says the K900 Evo can stay always connected to the battery, even in case of long periods in which the motorcycle is not used, or be wall mounted. An LED bar indicates the selected programme, the charging cycle and any operating anomalies.
