SMART BATTERIES SHOULD NOT BE RECONDITIONED.
Select
DISABLED
for the End of Recondition when servicing a smart
battery.
If the battery’s voltage drops below the level required by
the processor within the battery, valuable information can be lost. In
some cases, this can leave the battery permanently unusable.
Charge Method (NiCd and NiMH only)
This parameter determines the method of charge.
Available settings: DC Charge, No Rev Load, Reverse Load 5% – 12%
The reverse load method intersperses discharge pulses during charge and trickle
charge to keep batteries cool and promote the recombination of gases. NO REV
LOAD is a charge pulse without the reverse pulse. Best results are achieved using
the default Rev. Load 9%. DC Charge is used for batteries that cannot accept a
pulse charge (some intrinsically safe batteries fall into this category).
Maximum Standby Voltage (SLA and Li-ion only)
The Maximum Standby Voltage is the level that SLA and Li-ion batteries are
maintained when fully charged, after service is complete. A charge current of
approximately 0.10C maintains the Maximum Standby Voltage. If the battery
voltage exceeds the Maximum Standby Voltage, the current is reduced or
eliminated until battery voltage drops to the Maximum Charge Voltage. Refer to
the manufacturer’s specifications for proper settings. If the battery generates heat
during prolonged storage on the analyzer after service has been completed,
remove the battery from the analyzer.
Available settings: 2.15 – 2.45V/cell (SLA), 3.90– 4.35V/cell (Li-ion), 3.20 –
3.65V/cell (Li-Ph)
Default Maximum Standby Voltage: SLA: 2.25V/cell; Li-ion: 4.05V/cell; Li-Ph:
3.45V/cell
