BCM12 Battery Charge Manager
Monitors the state of charge of a battery bank to activate the charging system to ensure full recharging. Can trigger any type of charging system including line chargers and engine-generators. Operates on both 12 and 24V battery bank systems.
The high and low set points to begin and end the charging cycle are adjustable within a range of values.

Upon installation of the updated Dyna-Gen module, a distinction must be made of the type engine used in the generator.
The updated module has a preheat default setting of 8 seconds. This is accomplished by a small black jumper that makes a loop out of the potting on the module board. By leaving this wire intact, the unit will automatically set preheat to 8 seconds. Clipping this loop will double the time to 16 seconds.
Settings are as follows:
- Isuzu engines are to be left at the default setting of 8 seconds.
- Kubota engines are to be set at 16 seconds by clipping the loop.
