Press the Function button to choose between the AUTO mode or 2A or 3A rate. The displayed rate will be selected 5 seconds after the last button activity.
The screen will now display the instruction “SETTING SAVED. PLEASE WAIT”. The selection will be stored in memory, and will become the default charge rate for the Main Charge program.
4.5CONNECTING A BATTERY
Quasar chargers are intelligent, requiring only the battery positive and negative connections (no thermal sensors are necessary). Some batteries can be connected directly to the charger; other batteries should be connected to the charger using the appropriate adaptor leads. The first battery to be connected, irrespective of the channel chosen, will be the first battery selected.
NOTE: Quasar chargers offer a choice of connector on each channel. Batteries may be connected to either but not both connectors at the same time. Connection of a battery to a front panel 2.1mm socket will disconnect the alternative connector (depending upon model) for that channel.
4.6MAIN CHARGE
Charger set to Auto Mode: connect the battery to the charger. A period of analysis lasting a minimum of 30 seconds is required before the correct charge rate is determined, and the display will then

indicate the rate by flashing ‘AU’ and the charge rate (2A or 3A) alternately. PAG intelligent batteries control their own charge rate, and are identified separately. Charging will then automatically commence. A ‘CHRG’ indication will blink once every second to show that the charging program is being executed, and the
Charger set to Manual Selection: the display will indicate the charge rate, and charging will automatically commence. PAG intelligent batteries control their own charge rate, and are identified separately. A ‘CHRG’ indication will blink once every second to show that the charging program is being executed, and the
A 'WAIT' indication will be displayed on any other channel that has a battery connected. The balancing process is indicated by 'BLNC'. At the end of the program the screen will display a 'DONE' indication.
The charge loaded into the battery can be viewed at any time during charge by pressing the Function button once. The screen will display the charge loaded for both channels. The charge loaded into the battery can be a useful guide as to the battery’s fitness for use. If a fully discharged battery only accepts a small amount of charge against its rated capacity the battery will require further investigation.
4.7RECOVERY CHARGE
IMPORTANT: SELECTION OF RECOVERY CHARGE IS A PRIORITY COMMAND, AND WILL TEMPORARILY SUSPEND OPERATIONS ON THE OTHER CHANNEL.
Press the Function button twice. The screen will indicate the selection and any further operation of the button will move the recovery indication to channel 2. A dwell time of over five seconds on the selected channel will allow the Recovery Charge program to be initiated. After a period of one hour the charger will automatically enter the Main Charge program, which will run until the battery is fully charged. If a battery is severely faulty, and has not responded to treatment by the Recovery Charge program, it will be indicated as faulty when the Main Charge program is entered, and will not be charged. Rejected batteries should be investigated.
