(BTC-70844-2)
PR4G WORKSHOP CHARGER
OPERATION MANUAL
850084 REV D
Data presented in this document is subject to change without notice
1. Plug the Adapter into PORT 1
2. Power up the ALT 170C charger
3. Once the Adapter is recognized (the BAT LED’s blink Amber in Position 1),
press the RECONDITION SW pushbutton for the A or B channel; the RECON
LED will light Amber for the corresponding channel
4. Plug the battery into the activated channel
5. Revitalization will commence upon recognition of the battery
Autonomously, the ALT 170C will perform the following revitalization sequence:
1. Check the temperature; if above 40º C do not proceed
2. Discharge the battery without a capacity measurement
3. Fully charge the battery
4. Discharge the battery and calculate the capacity
5. Fully charge the battery
6. If the capacity in step 4 is greater than or equal to 80% of the battery
specification, the BAT LED turns Green, the RECON LED remains lit and
process is complete
7. If the capacity in step 4 is less than 80%, repeat step 4 and 5 a second time. If
after the second cycle the capacity is less than 80% of the battery specification,
the BAT LED turns Red, the RECON LED remains lit and the process is
complete

Li-Ion Destorage
(
ALI 142, ALI 143, BA-684A, BA-685A, ALI 243)
Destorage exists on Position 1 and is available for both the A and B channels of the
ALT 170C Charger. Due to the increased power dissipation from discharging the
batteries, this function will not operate above 40º C. The following procedure is used
to invoke the Destorage process:
1. Plug the Adapter into PORT 1
2. Power up the ALT 170C charger
3. Once the Adapter is recognized (the BAT LED’s blink Amber in Position 1),
press the RECONDITION SW pushbutton for the A or B channel; the RECON
LED will light Amber for the corresponding channel
4. Plug the battery into the activated channel
5. Destorage will commence upon recognition of the battery
Autonomously, the ALT 170C will perform the following Destorage sequence:
1. Check the temperature; if above 40º C do not proceed
2. Fully discharge the battery
3. Fully charge the battery
4. Discharge 55% of the specified capacity from the battery
The BAT LED turns Green, the RECON LED remains lit and process is complete
