1. Charging
1800 Min. remain
After starting the sequence this is being displayed. Before the discharge
cycle (measurement) it is essential that the battery is fully charged
otherwise the result would be incorrect. The device will charge the battery
for 1,800 minutes (= 30 h) to ensure that even a completely discharged
battery will be fully charged. The remaining time is being displayed
continuously. You can skip the initial charging process by activating 'Mode'
in order to save time. You should not do this if you are not completely sure
that the device's battery has been charged continuously before for at least
30 h.
2. Discharging
13.1V 0 mAh
Subsequently the battery is being discharged and the amount of energy
which is drawn is being measured.
After some time e.g.:
2. Discharging
12.4V 617 mAh
The current battery voltage and the capacity in mAh which has been drawn
so far is being displayed for your information. This process lasts until the
final discharge voltage is reached. If necessary you can cancel the test by
activating 'Mode' for a longer time. After cancelling make sure that the
device is charged for a sufficient period of time before using it again.
After the discharging process a final charging process is following. E.g. these messages are being
displayed alternately:
3. Charging
1727 Min. remain
Here you are informed about the remaining duration of the charging
process. Again 30 h are required in total.
3. Charging
12.0V 6.513 mAh
In the lower line next to the current battery voltage the capacity in mAh
which has been discharged during the measurement is being displayed.
You may also terminate the final charging process by activating 'Mode'. In this case you are
responsible that the battery is being charged sufficiently afterwards. You will directly enter the
receiving mode or respectively ready to fire mode.
If the sequence is not cancelled you will see e.g. this being displayed:
4. Finished
93% 6.513 mAh
The test result as a percentage value and the capacity in mAh which has
been measured during discharging is being displayed in the bottom line. In
addition an acoustic signal is audible which should inform you that the test
is finished.
The percentage value should help you to interpret the test result correctly. 100% represent 7,000 mAh,
this is the nominal capacity of the battery being used. Results over 100% are possible, too.
If the battery reaches more than 75% (more than 5,250 mAh) it is fairly good. If the result is ranging
between 60 and 75% (between 4,200 und 5,250 mAh) the battery should be replaced soon. If the
result is less than 60% the battery should be replaced urgently.
Note: You as the operator can easily replace the battery yourselves.
Normally operation is still possible if the battery shows a bad result. A low capacity leads to a shorter
operation time. In some cases also the maximum current that can be drawn from the battery can be
reduced if the inner resistance of the battery has risen. Before using the device again you should also
observe the parameter 'Accumulator Power' in the menu.
It is making sense to test the accumulator regularly. We recommend to do this at least twice a year but
not more than four times a year. Due to the fact that the measurement is a full discharge cycle
batteries that have become inactive will be refreshed. Several measurements one after another can
definitely lead to an enhancement in battery performance and increased capacity.
If the test cycle is conducted too often the negative effect of an accelerated ageing is rather likely to
occur.
