Partial Charge Mode:
Never store your batteries completely empty as this will harm them and lower their performance. Due to this fact,
the QUADRA-PRO 2 features a „Partial charge“ mode. With this function, you can set a fixed capacity value and the battery will be partially
charged exactly to this amount.Thus you can always perfectly prepare your battery for storage, if you want to store them over a longer period
of time.
How to partially charge a battery: please follow the instructions under chapter „Programme Structure“.
We recommend to completely discharge the battery first and then put about half of the nominal capacity back into the battery. For example, a
battery with a nominal capacity of 4200mAh should be partially charged with 2100mAh.
Note:
NiMH batteries can be stored for about 1-2 months without problems using this method. LiPo/LiFePo batteries can be stored for about 6
months without problems. After this time period, you should check the battery and, if necessary, put some partial charge in again if you don´t
use it regularly.
Autostart Timer:
This handy feature lets you preselect when you want to start charging your battery with the QUADRA-PRO 2. The
Autostart Timer is adjustable from 0 - 99min. If you stay in the „Autostart Display“ for longer then 30sec without setting a value, the charging
process will start automatically.
Changing the charge current on the fly:
The charge current can be changed on the fly by pressing INC+ or DEC- without inter
-
rupting the charging process. This change is not stored. The next time you start charging, the QUADRA-PRO 2 takes the data settings of each
charge profile, stored under “Settings”.
PCS-4 (Peak Capacity System):
The voltage charge curve of NiMH cells may vary considerably at the start of charging due to cell
construction. Conventional chargers interpret this incorrectly as „delta peak reached“ and terminate the charging process (false peak). The QUA
-
DRA-PRO 2 has the LRP-exclusive PCS-4 which contains advanced algorithms to detect this phenomenon: This ensures reliable full charging.
PCS-4 allows the perfect full charge of all NiMH cell types by means of an adjustable delta peak and high-precision digital-filter detection of all
parameters throughout the entire charging process. The QUADRA-PRO 2 signals full charge and end of charge by an alert buzzer that sounds
for 3 minute.
Data View Function:
at the end of each process (charge, discharge or cycle) you can view additional data by pressing MODE button.
Also you can access DATA VIEW from initial screen by pressing MODE button, which allows you to view (press MENU again to hop through data):
DC input voltage / Battery voltage / Charge data from last process / Discharge data / Balancing Voltages from last process
