Sequence:
This program assumes that the battery has 100% capacity. If a battery
has lower capacity, it will not make a correct matrix. The program consists of a
charge and a discharge and the OhmTest. The data obtained from the program
profiles the battery’s SoH (called a matrix) and automatically stores it with the
battery C-code.
Results:
Detailed display shows the battery’s average cell voltage; analyzer
charge or discharge current (in mA); OhmTest results; battery temperature and
duration of service. If Q-Learn is successful, the C-code will display a T in the
upper right-hand corner to indicate that a QuickTest matrix has been created.
Duration:
Approximately 5 minutes for all batteries with a SoC (state-of-charge)
level between 20% and 90% of battery capacity. Batteries with a SoC level lower
than 20% or greater than 90% require additional time to bring their SoC to between
20% and 90%. For most batteries, this takes an additional 5 minutes but in some
cases, especially with high-capacity batteries, it may take longer.
Q-Learn Limitations:
Use Q-Learn:
a. if the battery’s capacity is 100%. If a battery’s capacity is less than 100%, it
will give erroneous results.
b. If the battery has been used (ie. excited) in the last 24 hours.
c. On custom adapters only. Universal adapters such as the Universal
Alligator Clips Adapter (07-110-0115), the RigidArm (07-110-0190) and the
FlexArm (07-110-0180) are
NOT
recommended. These adapters will give
inaccurate results due to resistance errors.
Q-Learn should only be used
once
. For more accurate results, run the Learn
program on three different batteries with varying capacities.
Q-Learn is available only on 16K Battery Adapters. ‘16K’ is marked on the rear
label of the adapter.
Q-Learn and QuickTest cannot be used with the following batteries:
