The BC-8000 provides adjustable constant current load control with 0.1 ampere increments from 0.5 to 15 amperes and 1.0 ampere increments from 15 to 55 amperes for capacity testing. It supports adjustable output voltage from 3.0 to 36.0 VDC and adjustable output current from 0.05 to 25 ADC for charging operations. Charging can be configured in constant voltage or constant current modes with selectable charge times from 1 to 999 minutes and either single-step or two-step charge routines.

A four-line LCD presents operating parameters, and the unit maintains a 10 millivolt voltage resolution for monitoring. It accepts a universal AC power input from 90 to 264 VAC with a frequency range of 47 to 63 Hz and includes overtemperature protection. Audio warnings signal completion of capacity tests or charge cycles and indicate unit malfunctions. A USB 2.0 port interfaces with a computer, and BC Report Utility software supports creation of hardcopy printouts of test data.

The instrument incorporates a real-time internal clock with battery backup. It is supplied with an Elcon-style two-wire connector and ring terminal leads. The charger is identified with Export Control Classification Number EAR99 and Schedule B code 9030.90.8030, has a country of origin of the United States, and is provided in a single-unit pack quantity. A calibration certificate is included within the handbook, and a field calibration procedure is detailed in the operations manual.
