QuickTest™
C7000 C-series firmware will not display a matrix made with
C7000 series firmware. Therefore, run the Learn program again
to create a new matrix.
Ensure that battery contacts and adapter contacts are clean.
Dirty contacts will affect QuickTest readings.
Note:
QuickTest is available only when using 16k Battery Adapters. These
adapters are marked ‘16K’ on the rear of the adapter.
QuickTest matrices created by the Q-Learn and the Learn programs are stored in
Battery Adapters as part of the C-code and can be copied to other adapters.
However, any change made to the C-code (except target capacity and selected
program) erases the stored QuickTest matrix.
Function:
Before running QuickTest, create a matrix for the battery using the
Learn program (see
, page 40). QuickTest determines the battery SoH (state-
of-health) that is an approximation of the battery capacity and resistance. If a matrix
does not exist for the C-code, (i.e. no batteries of the same model have gone
through the Q-Learn or Learn programs) a message appears stating that no
QuickTest matrix has been found, and that the Learn program should be run first.
QuickTest can still run without a matrix but results are unreliable.
Sequence:
The battery is tested to ensure that it has 20% - 90% State-of-charge. If
not, it applies a charge or discharge for five minutes. The program then performs a
sequence of resistance tests, partial charges, discharges and rest. Test results are
compared to the matrix to determine the battery state-of-health.
Results:
The Global and detailed display shows the battery condition as
“Excellent”, “Good”, “Marginal” or “Poor”. Detailed display also shows average
battery or cell voltage, analyzer charge or discharge current in mA, OhmTest
results, battery temperature (if applicable) and duration of service.
Duration:
Approximately 5 minutes if the battery SoC (state-of-charge) is between
20% and 90%. Batteries with a lower or higher SoC require additional time to bring
