Lind Battery Utilities™ 500
The Lind Battery Utilities 500 software program, is designed to analyze
stored battery parameters and allow the user to correct data that is out
of the normal range. Batteries that do not perform properly in the
PowerBook or the PowerCenter should be examined with this program
to determine if stored data corrections are necessary.
Power Sources
Power to operate the PowerCenter is obtained from an Apple AC
adapter or Lind DC Adapter™ 500 (12 volt Automobile Power Adapter
Model PB-5). A power cable, supplied with the PowerCenter, is used
to connect the PowerCenter to the PowerBook when:
- The PowerBook and PowerCenter are using power from the same
adapter.
- The PowerCenter is used as an Auxiliary Power Source.
- The PowerBook is used as a load for calibrating and conditioning
batteries.
Note: AC and DC adapters that do not have the capability to operate
and charge the PowerBook at the same time will not operate properly
with the PowerCenter 500.
