◎ BATTERY CONNECTION
POLARON EX 2CH DC charger has two sets of outputs on the front of the charger. Channel 1 is on the
left and channel 2 on the right. Each channel has two 4mm banana sockets and 7 cell balance port and
a temperature sensor input port. You will need an appropriate charge lead to suit the specific connector
on your battery. Connect this charge lead to the 4mm output sockets on the charger channel you want
to use, with the positive (+) lead connected to the red socket and the negative (-) lead to the black
socket.
Only connect the battery to the charge lead AFTER the charge lead has been connected
to the charger, as the connectors on the charge lead could touch together and cause
the battery to short circuit.
When charging a Lithium pack, make sure that the balance lead is connected to the charger. The
charger has a 'JST-EH' type balance port, but also comes with other balance adaptor boards.
To use an adaptor board, connect the supplied balance adaptor board lead to the charger and
then connect the board that works with your battery balance connector. If the main battery power
leads ONLY are connected to the output banana sockets, without connecting the balancing connector
to the balancing port on the charger, the charger will charge or discharge the connected Lithium
pack without balancing it. We always recommend balancing a Lithium pack, because some cell may
11
retain more capacity than others, so over time the pack can become unbalanced. If an unbalanced
pack is then used, some of the cells will exceed their maximum voltage when charged and others their
minimum voltage when discharged, which causes damage to the cells.
When a Lithium cell is overcharged, it can cause damage and in extreme cases can cause a fire
◎ INPUT POWER SETUP
This charger has 40 memories (CH1 20 /CH2 20) that each
battery can be resisted so the basic programming setup
helps you to manage batteries efficiently
The charger should be connected to the docking SMPS or
a suitable 11-28V DC power source,
ensuring that the black connector is connected to the
negative (-) and the red to the positive (+)
Input voltage and current can be programmed at USER SET
(ref 30 page), this charger will control output automatically
depending on power input source
