Failed conditional test
o
Advances to the next Phase.
1 Provides an unconditional choice to either exit or
advance to any of the 4 available Phases, regardless of
the Target Capacity setting, capacity gains or other
criteria.
2 "Target Capacity met" lets you take a different route if
the required Target Capacity is met. You many want to
go-to exit, for example, and complete the program.
3 "Capacity less than 5%" lets you repeat Cycles
1
and 2
a maximum of three times in hope that the battery
will start accepting a proper charge. A new battery, or
one that has been in storage for a long time, may be
subject to very low capacity readings when first
serviced.
4 "Capacity not improved by 5%" indicates that the
battery has reached its full-capacity potential and
further cycling will be of no benefit. In this case,
you many want to go-to exit and complete the
program.
5 "Do Phase N Times" lets you repeat a procedure up to
10 times.
6 "Rest Cycles" lets you add rest periods to cool off the
battery, for example. Another application is to perform
self-discharge
tests on a battery.
After the Test command is completed, Go-to takes the
next step and executes the instructions.
If a conditional test failed, the Go-To is not executed
and the program goes directly to the next Phase.
Example
Conditional tests are "Target Capacity met",
"Capacity less than 5%" and "Capacity not improved to
5%".
