Results:
Global display shows battery capacity as a percentage of manufacturers
stated capacity for the battery model. Detailed display shows average battery or
cell voltage, analyzer charge or discharge current in mA, OhmTest results, battery
temperature (if applicable), and duration of service
Batteries in good condition should be greater than the target capacity (by default
this is 80%). If batteries fail, check the fault codes for details.
Duration:
Approximately 2.5 to 10 hours for NiCd and NiMH, 20 to 40 hours for
SLA and 6 to 20 hours for Li-ion & Li-Ph using default C-codes.
Charge
Function:
Fast charge a battery.
Sequence:
A charge cycle is applied to the battery. No capacity readings are taken
(capacity is only obtained if there is a discharge).
Charge does not perform a
diagnosis; use the Auto or Prime program to fully diagnose a battery.
Results:
The global display alternates between current average battery, cell
voltage and analyzer charge or discharge current (mA) during service and after
service. Detailed display also shows OhmTest results, battery temperature (if
applicable) and duration of service.
Look for the green Ready LED. It indicates that the battery has been charged.
There is no capacity reading taken during a charge. To diagnose faulty batteries
the user is required to run Prime, Auto, etc.
Duration:
Approximately 1.5 hours for NiCd and NiMH, 10 hours for SLA, and 4
hours for Li-ion & Li-Ph using default C-codes.
Prime
Function:
Prepares new or stored batteries for use. A new or stored battery may
require several charge/discharge cycles to form the cells to achieve peak
performance.
