Boost
Warning! The Boost program overrides some of the analyzer’s
built-in safety measures to recognize a battery. Do not attempt
to Boost a battery if the polarity, chemistry, voltage and
capacity (mAh) are not known.
Failure to follow these precautions may result in serious
damage to the Cadex unit and/or the battery.
Ensure that battery polarity is correct before attempting to run
Boost. For this reason, it is NOT recommended to use a Universal
Adapters (07-110-0115, 07-110-0180 or 07-110-0190) with Boost.
Function:
Reactivates batteries with open protection circuits or with a very low
voltage that the Cadex analyzer does not recognize it or gives a ‘Shorted’ (Code
121) message.
Sequence:
The battery is trickle-charged for three minutes at 100mA. The
Program can be terminated at any time by pressing the Esc key. Look for stable
current and voltage readings during the Boost program. If they are intermittent, the
battery may be poorly connected, battery protection circuit may be damaged or the
battery is inoperable. Normal battery service will start after Boost has reached more
than 0.30V/cell on NiCd and NiMH batteries and more than 2.5V for Li-ion and
1.90V for Li-Ph batteries. If Boost does not raise the voltage to detectable levels,
apply the Boost program again.
Results:
If the Boost is successful, the Cadex analyzer recognizes the battery and
indicates on the global display that a battery is inserted in the Battery Adapter.
