7.4 Capacity Test To Failed Cells
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 battery voltage falls below the Target Volts
before the capacity test time this reported capacity is the minimum capacity of the
battery. If any cell reaches the cell target voltage before the set time or overall battery
voltage set point the time that it fell below the set point will be logged and noted on
the printed report. The reported capacity will be as follows: -
The parameters required for this mode are as follows: -
Number Of Cells :
The number of cells in the battery
pack.
Target Volts :
The battery voltage at which point the
capacity test should stop if before the test time.
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.
