2. C-Code Structure
Basic C-Code
Extended C-Code
Programming Battery Adapters
The C-Code is made up of two parts: Basic C-Code
and Extended C-Code.
The Basic C-Code contains the fundamental battery
parameters consisting of:
Battery type (NiCd, NiMH and SLA)
Number of cells
Battery rating in mAh.
Additional battery parameters are included in the
Extended C-Code. The Extended C-Code varies with
each battery type and may consist of:
• Charge & Discharge C-Rates
• Trickle-charge current
• Recondition Discharge current
• Capacity Offset
• Temperature Sensor (optional)
• Negative Slope
• End-of-discharge voltage threshold
• End-of-recondition voltage threshold
• Charge method.
The Extended C-Code is not shown if all parameters
are at the default values. If any of these parameters
are
modified, the complete C-Code (Basic C-Code and
Extended C-Code) are shown. For more information,
refer to CHAPTER 11 -
C-CODE TABLES .
