[ NORMAL ]
NiCd/NiMH : The charger will charge the pack with a preset charge current, stopping the charging pro-
cess every minute to calculate the voltage and detect the Delta peak. This process allows for improved
peak detection, determining the amount of battery wear and instabilties in the charge cable.
[ LINEAR ]
NiCd/NiMH : The charger will charge the pack with the preset charge current, detecting the Delta peak
every second without stopping the charging process. As changing the charge cable contact point might
terminate the charging process, do not touch the charge cable during the charging process. After 10
minutes, the charger will stop charging for a few seconds to calculate the internal resistance. This
method can detect the ZEROpk (0mV/cell) and terminate without an increase in the temperature.
[ CC/CV ]
LiIon/LiPo/LiFe/Pb : After charging with a constant current, the charger will then charge the pack with a
constant voltage. The calculated voltage from the balance cable is used to control the process, allow-
ing the pack to be charged safely (Only a battery equipped with a balance cable should be charged,
excluding the Pb batteries).
[ FAST ]
LiIon/LiPo/LiFe : After charging with a constant voltage, the charger will charge the pack with a con-
stant current. The calculated voltage from the balance cable is used to control the process, allowing
the pack to be charged safely (Only a battery equipped with a balance cable should be charged,
excluding the Pb batteries).
[ STORE ]
LiIon/LiPo/LiFe : The charger will charge/discharge to store the pack with the voltage configured. CC/
CV is applied to N-STORE. FAST is applied to Q-STORE.

Charge modes for the POLARON AC/DC CHARGER
LiPo, LiIon, LiFe CC-CV : Normal charge.
FAST : Fast charge.
N-STORE : Normal store charge.
Q-STORE : Quick store charge.
CV-LINK : The packs that have the same number of cells and capacity
can be charged simultaneously (If the cells are different, errors can occur.)
NiCd, NiMH AUTO : The charge will automatically adjust the charging conditions.
NORMAL : Normal charge conditions.
LINEAR : The preset current is maintained throughout the charge.
Pb CC-CV : Normal charge.
In the CV-LINK mode, the packs should have the same voltage, capacity and number
of cells. With variances in the charging parameters, damage to the batteries can occur.
Please install a balance cable to CH1, CH2

Battery Cell Check
Number of cells check
(4)
After connecting the balance board, the charger can check the
number of cells. If the reported number of cells is not correct,
tap the ESC button to return to the previous page and re-run the
parameters check again. Repeat this process until the number of
cells is correct. With the correct parameters, the next page will be
accessed automatically.
Without the balance board connection, the number of cells should be
entered manually. Tapping the Enter button
