Cycle operation mode per battery type

Discharge mode selection in cycle mode

Charge mode selection in cycle mode

The start delay time can be set at values betwee 1-150 min-
utes. After the preset delay time has completed, the charger 
initiates the cycle charge/discharge.

Start delay time

The charge mode and the start delay time parameters are programmed.  
Tap the box to activate (blue). Tap the DEC/INC button to select the 
desired mode. Discharge modes are explained below

After  counting  down,  the  charger  initiates  the  discharge  process. 
Tapping  the  Enter  button                    will  cause  the  charger  to          
immediately initiate the               charging process.        

Cycle charge discharge mode of the POLARON AC/DC Charger

LiPo, LiIon, LiFe, Pb 

NiCd, NiMH

CC-CV     : Normal charge/discharge mode
NORMAL    : Normal charge/discharge mode
LINEAR     : The preset current is maintained throughout the
              charge/discharge process.

AUTO       : The charge will automatically adjust the
              charge/discharge conditions
NORMAL    : Normal charge/discharge
LINEAR       : The preset current is maintained throughout the
              charge/discharge process.

The number of operating cycles is shown

Cycle operating screen
The operating indicator blinks at the top

Tap the graph to display the operating data

This page (left) shows the cycle process with the parameters and graph.
Both the voltage and current values will increase to the preset parameters. 
The preset current may be limited by the charge/discharge capacity and 
ithe nput voltage setup. The max charging process at 120W with a max 
discharging process at 30W.

Tap the part in the red circle (left) to display the set current 
window. The charge/discharge current parameters used dur-
ing the operations can then be entered. Tap the     button 
to close the set current window. These parameters are used 
by the charger during the operation and are not stored in the 
memory.

This page (left) shows the battery check process after a con-
nection to the balancer has been established. The next page 
is accessed
automatically. Tapping the Enter button               will cause 
the charger to immediately initiate the                charging 
process.         

Battery Cell Checking

After connecting the balance board, the charger can check 
the number of cells. If the confirmed number of cells is not 
correct, tap the ESC button to return to the previous page. 
Re-check the parameters. With the correct number of cells, 
the next page will be accessed automatically.
To initiate the process without a balance board, the cell can 
be  activated  and  the  number  of  cells  programmed  into  the 
cell. Tapping the Enter button           will cause the charg-
er to immediately initiate              the charging process.
