Nicd/ Nimh Battery Charge Setup; Pb Battery Charge Setup - GRAUPNER POLARON AC/DC SPORTS Operating Instructions Manual

: Cut-off temperature. Detected using an optional temperature sensor, a safety cut-off
- Cut-Temp
temperature can be set to automatically terminate charging or discharging processes. This
termination can occur for battery temperatures exceeding a preset value.
: The maximum capacity setting is used to terminate a charge. The maximum capacity is
- Max Capacity
used to prevent the battery capacity from exceeding a preset percentage. Damaged, poorly
balanced, or improperly programmed batteries can be overcharged without this limitation.
: The safety timer can be used to terminate a charge for charging times that exceed
- Safety Timer
this preset time period. This timer can be used to protect the battery from damage.
: The battery voltage in the store mode. This parameter is used to terminate a charge
- Store Volt
for voltages that reach a preset voltage value.

NiCd/ NiMH battery charge setup

- Current : Charge current. - Tapping the INC/DEC buttons can activate and edit this pa-
rameter. The default charge current is set to 1C (1 x capacity). This value can be
Adjusted from 0.1 to 8.0 Amps, operating within the 120W limitation per each channel.
- Peak Sens : Delta-peak cut-off voltage. - This parameter is used to charge the NiCd/ NiMH
batteries. As the pack voltage peaks, the pack becomes hot and the pack voltage
drops off. This charger terminates the charging process using a Delta-peak cut-off.
The default parameter is 3mV/cell for the NiMH batteries and 7mV/cell for the NiCd
batteries.
- Trickle : Trickle charge current. - With NiCd and NiMH type batteries, a trickle charge pro-
cess is recommended after the main charge has completed, allowing the battery to
become fully charged and ready to be used. The recommended trickle charge current
is approximately 10% of the pack capacity (possible to set to a max of 500mA).
- Cut-Temp : Cut-off temperature. - Used with an optional temperature sensor, a safety cut-off
temperature value can be specified, allowing the charging or discharging processes to
automatically terminate for battery temperatures exceeding a preset value.
- Max Capacity : The maximum capacity setting is used to terminate charging processes for battery
capacities exceeding the selected percentage values. Damaged or improperly pro-
grammed batteries can be overcharged without a proper setting of this parameter.
- Safety Timer : The safety timer can be used to terminate the charging process for charging times
that exceed a preset time period. This timer is used to protect the batteries.

Pb battery charge setup

- Voltage : Maximum cell voltage. - CV (Constant Voltage)
- Current : Charge current. - Tapping the INC/DEC buttons can activate and edit the parame-
ters. The default charge current is set to 1C (1 x capacity). This value can be Adjusted
from 0.1 to 8.0 Amps, operating within the 120W limitation per each channel.
- Cut-Temp : Cut-off temperature. - Used with an optional temperature sensor, a safety cut-off
temperature can be set, allowing the charging or discharging processes to automatically
terminate at battery temperatures exceeding the preset temperature value.
- Max Capacity : The maximum capacity setting is used to terminate charging processes that result in
battery capacities exceeding a preset percentage value. Damaged, poorly balanced,
or improperly programmed batteries can be overcharged without this limitation.
- Safety Timer : The safety timer can be used to terminate the charging process for charging times
that exceed a preset time period. This timer is used to protect the batteries.
