You might need a week to learn (or get use to) a programing, but after that it is simple and logical It's lab like perfarmance quickly builds your confidence in charger as well in battery pack you are working on. If battery pack is controversial use of PC interface is able to detect the smallest misbehavior which would not be detected otherwise. On the Field On number of accasions PULSAR proved to be extremaly handy field charger I have ever had. Its audible performance separates Pulsar from rest of the herd. In crawded enviroment it is important to know this is your charger biping and what your charger just has done for you so you can slowly finish your conversation with friends or close flying session without the hurry. Besides that PULSAR is very small(1/2 size of others) and light, easly transfarable from car battery to field battery. Its ability to reverse discharged energy back to the field battery makes it real winner against heat disipating dischargers. PULSAR is not getting hot while on reverse discharge mode. It does not even have a heat sink. It simply puts energy back to the main battery with high effciency at constant 15.3V   v2.10 MANUAL   PULSAR 2 ( v2.10 only) is intended to cooperate with EQUALizer (below) to fully use its potential to FAST charging ability of LiXX cells   The other Recomended aftermaket balancers to work with PULSAR 2 (v2.10) Non of them could use (v2.10) balancer interface and will only bleed off higher cells  Hyperion LBA10 balancer Bantam PB6 balancer ASTRO "Blinky" for LiPos ASTRO "Blinky" for A123 Articles: 4/2005 ElectroMODEL article 6/2005 Aufwind article FORUMS PULSAR 2.07 Forum

NEW  PULSAR EQUAL - izer 12 cell "In Line" balancer   with PC interface              from ELPROG Available NOW INTRO Price $299 EQUAL - Detailed description with all the screen options - German Only Pulsar EQUALizer balancer works on a different principle than most of the balancers on the market. When hooked up to a unbalanced battery pack it will charge lower cells in expense of higher voltage cells so there is no capacity loss. Current is determined based on the number cells and DeltaV between high and low cells. The lowest V cell will receive highest charge while highest V cells will be discharged at a lower rate according to the number of well charged cells. Only this principle allows currents to be lessened acordingly to the DeltaV. This alows packs to be tuned with extreme precision and low currents when pack is near the stage of balanced saturation. For this reason it is better to describe this device as an equalizer not a balancer. MANUAL.PDF EQUALizer has 3 working modes   1. TEST -  Voltage monitoring for all individual cells in the pack under the load. This real time option gives you an excellent diagnostic tool for your battery pack performance.    2. EQUAL - Independent precision equalization of cell voltages. Device is powered from the battery pack. Uses extraordinary concept and algoritm to charge lower cells and discharge higher ones. Currents are related to differences between cells. Progressing equalization makes these currents diminnish. This is probably the most refined way to tune your battery pack.   3. FAST - Fast/Coarse balancing is especially important during the charging stage. There are 3 current ranges you can set the balancing process onto: 250mA,  500mA,  750mA. Additonally each channel (1-12) has its own adjustor ranging from a 10%-100% value of each range. At 250mA value, it ranges from25mA to 250mA. At 0.75A value, from 75mA to 750mA. Of course real current flow is dependant on momentary DeltaV between cells and you just set the limit. It is a usefull feature to set proper balancing values to match the capacity and type of cell you are working on.Usually the balancing current should not exceed 1/8-1/10 C   SLEEP command Beside the current setting (I) the Equalizer has a timer built in so you can set balancing process to:   1. OFF   2. 2 Hours   3. 4 Hours EQUALizer services 3 type of cells 1. LiPo     2. LiIon    3. LiPh How the EQUALizer communicates with a charger ( V2.10) It does through the temperature sensor port. 1.First command reduces the charging current 2. If voltage keeps rising it shuts off charging process   *Temperature sensing is still possible trough a Y connection   ARTICLES ModelAviator reference article - German only FORUMS Top notch balancer New EQUAL-izer from Elprog
