Capacity test Using Cell Monitor
This mode of operation requires the cell monitor to be connected to the battery before
the capacity test can begin. In this mode the battery is discharged at the predefined
current until the set time has elapsed. If the cell target voltage has not been reached
the unit will stop and report a capacity test of 100%. This reported capacity is the
minimum capacity of the battery. If any cell reaches the cell target voltage before the
set time, the unit will stop and report the capacity calculated as follows: -
The parameters required for this
mode are as follows: -
Number Of Cells :
The number
of cells in the battery pack.
Cell Target Volts :
This is the
point at which the discharge will
stop.
Discharge Amps :
This is the
constant current amps to discharge
the battery. This is usually the A/H
rating of the battery.
Capacity Test Time :
This is
the maximum time at which the
discharge test is to be performed.
This is usually 1 Hour.
Cell Print Interval :
If a printer
is available this value defines the
period at which the cell voltages are printed.
