Device description 
 
Pulsar 3 is a fast, professional battery charger with an integrated balancer. A newly designed synchronic digital 
converter  operates  with  precision  and  efficiency unmatched  by  other  devices  of  similar  type  due  to  the DSP 
(Digital Signal Processor) control. Power, work precision and ease of use were the key focus during the device’s 
construction. The newest technology, rarely used in model chargers, guarantees an optimal operation of battery 
packages.  Impulse  work  in  the  reflex  mode  prevents  the  memory  effect  and  the  lazy  battery  effect  in  NiXX 
batteries as well as lessens the threat of unbalancing in LiXX batteries. The real impulse mode “Fastmod” for Lixx 
and Pb batteries can shorten the charge time even by 30-40%. The integrated high-powered balancer equalizes 
the packages in a very short time, without unnecessary prolonging the process, thus keeping the singular cells’ 
voltage perfectly equalized. The multiple algorithms operating simultaneously, which detect the level of the cells’ 
voltage,  as  well  as  the  capacity  limiter  and  an  integrated  temperature  indicator,  protect  the  packages  from 
overloading and damaging.  The  processes’ parameters can  be  seen  on  the backlit graphic displayer. The self-
explanatory single Rotary knob, as well as twenty integrated memory banks  enable frequently used processes to 
be  chosen faster,  make for easier operation.  An  SD  memory  card  enables recording  the data  from all  of the 
processes, which can then be analyzed via the Pulsar Graph program on a PC or notebook, and helps detect 
damage earlier. By analyzing diagrams containing the gathered data, it enables tracing the charging packages’ 
ageing. Updated data from the process undertaken are sent to a PC through  USB or radio  data  transmission 
system  (BT),  which  may  in  the  future  send  data  to  cell  phones.  The  charger  protects  batteries  from  deep 
discharge  as  well  as  overloading  by  controlling  the  charging  batteries’  (12,  24  and  48V)  parameters,  thus 
protecting them from damage. A separate AC adapter with a power limiter enables to adapt the work parameters 
to a particular charger. Pulsar 3 is protected from reverse connection both at input and output. Pulsar 3, as one 
of the few modeling chargers, is equipped with a system that prevents electric arcing when high voltage packs are 
plugged in. The device’s firmware update also is possible via the Internet.
