1500 W power and 25 A current

 

A premium class balancer charger with high-tech inside!

 

The Pulsar 3 charger has qualities which makes a big difference to products of other manufacturers. Most of them are features which were too expensive or even too complicated for our competitors. We went through a long development time and did not like to have any technical compromises which could lower the functionality of our unrivalled charger. The developers could realize a very high accuracy and stability of all parameters at the full power spectrum of this device, also for functions like impulse or reflex. Other chargers lose a lot of time while CCV stage of charging LiXX batteries, but the Pulsar 3 uses the genuine FASTMOD function (used in Pulsar 2 and Pulsar 2+) to shorten charging time rigorous (to 30 % faster compared to standard charging mode). At the same time, the FASTMOD method is very gentle for your battery packs. The balancer for 16 cells has enough power also for future battery packs with more capacity. It uses continuous current instead of discharge impulse and is able to balance 15 cells at the same time, even with different currents. The intuitive one-button control, a big graphical display, logging of all processes on SD card, optional BT communication, different setups for usage on car battery or power supply - these are just a few features that confirm this well-engineered Pulsar 3 charger. As the developers are not satisfied by using standard PC software, they made a special software for this charger and include it in the scope of delivery.
