Charge Modes Of Different Battery Types - GRAUPNER POLARON EX-1400 Operating Instructions Manual

Charge modes of different battery types

• AUTO
NiCd / NiMH: Automatic charge mode, which automatically determines the charge current
based on the internal resistance of the battery determined by the charger.
To recognize the „Delta Peak", the charger checks the charging voltage in minutes rhythm.
Choosing a discharge mode is NOT possible.
• LINEAR
NiCd / NiMH: The charger checks the number of cells of the connected battery and charges
then the battery with the specified constant charge current. The „Delta Peak" is detected at all
times. Every 10 minutes the charger will stop charging for a few seconds to measure the inter-
nal resistance of the battery.
This method makes it possible to detect the peak Zero (0 mV / cell) and to stop charging without
temperature rise.
Choosing a discharge mode is NOT possible.
• NORMAL
NiCd / NiMH: The charger charges the battery with the specified charge current and reviewed in
minutes rhythm to detect the charge voltage to the „Delta Peak".
Choosing a discharge mode is NOT possible.
• CC/CV
LiIo / LiPo / LiFe / Pb: The charger charges the battery with the pre-selected constant charge
current and afterward at a constant voltage rate dependent on battery type and the cells number
of the connected batteries. When the maximum voltage is reached, the current will be reduced
until the charge is finished.
The battery is balanced during the charge trough the balancer.
Choosing a discharge mode is NOT possible.
• FAST
LiIo / LiPo / LiFe: The charger charges the battery connected to a constant voltage.
The battery is balanced during the charge trough the balancer.
Choosing a discharge mode is NOT possible.
• CV-LINK
Note: This charge mode is only available in the menu by selecting CH1.
LiIo / LiPo / LiFe: batteries with the same capacity and the same number of cells can be
charged simultaneously on two charge ports with just a setting.
In different cell number, an error message is displayed and the charge operation aborts.
Choosing a discharge mode is NOT possible.
After the expiration of the aforementioned 5 seconds within which you can
