o
SLA batteries greater than 2Ah (2000mAh).
o
1-cell (1.20V) and 2-cell (2.40V) NiCd and NiMH batteries.
o
Batteries with resistance above 800m
Ω
(as measured by OhmTest). It is
advisable to run OhmTest on any battery that is run through the Q-Learn
program.
o
Batteries that disconnect, reset or give failures while running the Learn or
Q-Learn programs.
o
Batteries that cannot accept a charge rate and discharge rate of at least
1.00C. These batteries tend to give errors if they are serviced on the
analyzer using the Auto or Prime programs.
Q-Learn Procedure
Calibrate the adapter and ensure that the C-code for the battery is correct. Take
several batteries with 100% capacity or over. Confirm the capacity by servicing the
batteries on the Prime program. Note the final capacity and resistance readings.
Take the battery with the highest capacity (ensure that it is 100% or greater) and
the highest resistance and run this battery through the Q-Learn program. After the
Q-Learn program is complete, take the same battery in the same adapter and run it
through the QuickTest program. The final SoH (state-of-health) result should be
100%. If the result is less than 100%, erase the battery matrix (press F
N
and then
press
2) and start over. When a successful result has been obtained (100%), test
the other batteries with the same capacity to ensure that the SoH readings are
within an acceptable range.
The battery matrix will be erased if anything in the C-code is changed except for
the target capacity and the actual program (i.e Auto, Charge, Prime, QuckTest
or
any of the other programs).
