Since the invention of the Lithium battery the number of different cell types has been rising almost daily. Yesterday we had Lithium-Ion cells with 3.6 Volts, today Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Ion-Polymer types with 3.7 Volts, recently we have seen Lithium-Ferrum cells with 3.3 Volts, and in the pipeline are Lithium-Phosphor cells with 3.6 Volts.

It is by no means straightforward to keep track of all this, with so many cell types and cut-off voltages.
It is very easy to forget the type of pack in a model, and also to forget what the settings should be. In a moment the charger is set incorrectly, often with disastrous results. By now most of us have connected a battery for a quick top-up - with the wrong settings - and ended up with a valuable battery which is damaged or even ruined.

The revolutionary robbe BID system provides an ingenious solution to this problem. The BID key is a small unit which is assigned to an individual battery, and which stores all the important charge parameters for that pack. To charge or discharge the pack all you do is connect it to a BID battery charger; the BID system automatically informs the charger of the correct settings.

The unit is handled just like the familiar USB memory stick.

Simply plug the BID key into the charger, and the charge process begins.

• No tiresome searching through the menu for the set-up parameters

• Maximum protection from mis-setting

• The essential battery data is stored in the BID key

The battery always carries its data around with it - in the BID key:

BID charge parameters: battery type, cell count, battery capacity, charge current, date of first use.

BID memory: currently charged-in / discharged capacity, maximum charged-in / discharged capacity, charge cycle count
