Note the charging capacity is usually higher than the actual capacity
of the battery owing to some energy lost as heat. Charging capacity
cannot be used to judge the performance the battery. Instead, it can
only be used to determine the progress of the charger. It is normal
for this number to exceed the actual capacity by as much as 20-
30%.
Q: I see that the charging capacity is much higher than the capacity I
programmed. Why doesn’t the charger terminate correctly?
A: The charger terminates by voltage and by temperature
simultaneously. For certain older (and low quality) batteries, they do
not produce the proper end-of-charge signal (a small voltage drop at
the conclusion of the charge) needed for the charger to stop. At the
same time, the battery temperature failed to reach the termination
limit as the charging rate was probably too low.
To address this issue, you should attempt to perform a BREAK-IN
mode on the batteries first. You should also use a higher charging
rate.
Q: Using the BREAK-IN mode, I am seeing a charging capacity
much higher than the capacity I programmed.
A: When using the BREAK-IN mode, the charger puts in 1.6 times
the capacity of the battery (entered at the start of the charge). This
does not cause any harm to the battery as the charging rate is very
low (only 10% of the battery capacity). The increased total charging
capacity compensates for energy lost as heat.
Time
:
This is the number followed by the unit “
MIN
.” This is the time
elapsed for the particular routine such as charging, discharging or
rest in the program.
Voltage:
This is the number followed by the unit “
VOLT
.” It represents the
battery voltage. If you compare this with a voltmeter while charging,
the values will not match as a voltmeter is unable to measure the
battery voltage during charging or discharging.
At any given time during the program, the charger will either be
charging, discharging or resting. The LCD displays the action in
black boxes containing
CHARGE
,
DISCHG
, or
REST
.
8.
If CYCLE mode is selected, it is also possible to review the battery
capacity of the completed cycle after the first cycle finishes.
Press the
UP
or
DOWN
key while the active slot is in the cycle mode
will display the discharge capacity for that cycle. The LCD will also
display “
CYCLE HISTORY
.”
9.
When the program for a slot is completed,
DONE
will displayed to
the right of the bank number. With the exception of DISCHARGE
mode, topoff charge and trickle charge (continuous) will be applied.
For CHARGE mode, the total charged capacity will be displayed.
For REFRESH & ANALYZE, BREAK-IN, DISCHARGE mode, the
total discharge capacity will be displayed. “AVAILABLE CAPACITY”
icon will also be shown.
For CYCLE mode, the discharge capacity of the final cycle is
displayed. “CYCLE HISTORY” icon will also be shown. Use the
UP
and
DOWN
key to access discharge capacity for all the cycles
performed.
The capacity information will be stored as long as the battery is
inserted in the charger. It will be lost upon removal of the battery.
Warning!
Batteries should be disposed of seperately from
the municipal waste stream via designated
collection facilities appointed by the government
or the local authorities.
For more detailed information about the disposal
of batteries, please contact your city office, waste
disposal service or the shop where you
purchased the product.
