The PTC-2590L is a professional-grade, mid-rate single-channel charger engineered for the high-performance requirements of BB-2590 (Li-ion) and BB-390 (Ni-MH) military battery packs

This intelligent charging solution provides a reliable, consistent recharge for one battery at a time, utilizing auto-sensing technology to automatically detect the battery chemistry and apply the correct charging profile without any manual programming

Key Features & Technical Specifications
The PTC-2590L is designed for "unattended charging," allowing users to plug in a battery and let the smart modules handle the rest safely

Intelligent Auto-Sensing: Automatically identifies the battery type (Li-ion or Ni-MH) to ensure the proper charge profile is applied for safety and efficiency

Independent String Charging: To ensure a thorough and balanced recharge, the PTC-2590L recharges each string of cells within the battery independently

Advanced Safety Modules: Built-in smart modules detect open or shorted cells; the unit will not initiate a charge cycle if a defective cell is found, preventing hazardous situations

Global Voltage Compatibility: Features a wide input voltage range (100-240V AC, 50-60Hz), allowing for reliable operation from residential power sources worldwide

Optimized Performance: Delivers a 3A charge rate for Li-ion and 2A for Ni-MH, with a maximum charge time of 6 hours

Lightweight & Portable: Weighing only 0.5kg (1lb), it is highly portable for field use.

LED Status Indicators
The PTC-2590L features a clear LED interface to track your battery's status:
Solid Orange: Standby mode

Flashing Green: Charging in progress

Solid Green: Charging complete

Solid Red: Fault detected
