Sequence:
The program cycles (discharges and charges) the battery until the
difference between capacities from one cycle to the next is less than 5%. Up to four
cycles are applied until the 5% capacity difference is reached. This allows for
batteries that cannot accept a full charge on the first cycle. If the battery is fully
discharged, the program starts with a charge. No reconditioning is applied. Some
batteries may require several Prime cycles to fully form the cells.
Results:
Global display shows final battery capacity percentage. Detailed display
shows battery capacity percentages for the last three cycles performed as well as
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 80% or the target capacity. If
batteries fail, check the fault codes for details. If the capacity is low, the battery
should be Primed again. In some cases, two or three Prime programs may be
required to fully form a battery.
Duration:
Approximately 5 to 10 hours for NiCd and NiMH, from 40 to 80 hours for
SLA, from 12 to 25 hours for Li-ion & Li-Ph using default C-codes.
QuickSort
Notes
: QuickSort is available only on 16k Battery Adapters. These adapters are
marked with a ‘16K’ label on the rear of the adapter. The QuickSort program can be
selected only when the Li-ion C-code is selected.
The battery must have at least 40% State-of-charge. Charge a battery fully if
you are unsure of the battery’s State-of-charge.
Function:
This program works for single cell Li-ion, 3.6V, and 500mA to 1500mAh
batteries and with the FlexArm (07-110-0180) and RigidArm (07-110-0190)
adapters.
Sequence
: QuickSort consists of several test pulses including an OhmTest. An
approximation to the battery’s condition is then calculated. There is no
maintenance charge after this program is completed.
