The Quasar Pro charger has program options built in that allow you to custom design
the functions of the charger to your needs.
The Quasar Pro charger has three programmable operational modes: Charge mode,
Discharge mode, and Cycle mode. The Cycle mode is not normally seen in a charger
and is a useful tool in cycling up (breaking in) new cells and testing used packs to
keep a record of their condition.
