Interpreting Battery Life Test Results

 

End of Life 

(AA350, AA400, AA500p)

n

 

The battery has reached ‘end of life’ when 
its measured performance has dropped 
to 75% of the manufacturers specified 
reference value. When this occurs, the 
Battery Life = 0%, and the replace battery 

 indicator will turn on and the unit will 

beep three times. Immediate battery 
replacement is advised.    

Depending upon the application, a battery 
that has 0% battery life (based on the 
manufacturers specification) may still have 
enough capability to remain in service for a 
period of time. For cranking batteries, the 
subsequent ‘Cranking performance Test’ 
will provide a more direct indication of a 
battery’s ability to remain in service.  

Battery Life can be calculated using an 
end of life value other than 75%. BL = 
(Cm-(Cr*Cu%))/Cr*(1-Cu%). Where Cm = 
measured value, Cr = reference value, Cu% 
= target end of life value.  

~

   

Low Battery Life  

(AA350, AA400, AA500p)

n

 

If Battery Life is between 0% and 50%, 
the Low Battery Life indication, 

~

   

(alternating pass / fail symbol) will turn on.

n

 

If the battery is used in an application 
sensitive to downtime – the battery should 
now be replaced proactively. 

n

 

If the battery is not in a downtime 
sensitive application, the battery can 
remain in service, but should be tested 
frequently. Replacing the battery soon is 
recommended. 

 

Good battery

  (AA350, AA400, AA500p)

n

 

If Battery Life is above 50%, the 

 icon 

will turn on. The battery can continue to  
be used.  

 +   

Good battery, charge before using

  

   

(AA350, AA400, AA500p)

n

 

If the Battery Life is above 50%, but the 
State of Charge is below 75%, the 

 icon 

and the   icon will turn on. The battery is 

good and should be charged before using.

n

 

A more accurate Battery Life result will be 
determined if the battery is charged and 
tested again.

n

 

 If the battery has been recently charged 
and the 

 and   icons are displayed, the 

battery may not be able to accept a full 
charge. Use the battery life value calculated 
without SoC and T correction. Alternatively, 
test the battery again while connected to a 
charger.

 

Charge and Test Again

n

 

If the State of Charge was below 25% 
at the start of the test a Battery Life 
calculation is not performed, and a pass / 
fail result will not be shown. The battery 
must be charged and tested again.  

If a reference value was not entered during 
set up, Battery Life values will not appear 
on the display, and Battery pass / fail results 
will not be indicated.

If SoC is 25% or less, Battery Life values 
will not appear on the display, and pass / 
Fail results will not be indicated. The battery 
must be charged and tested again.
