TI150 Series Hardwired Battery Charger/Conditioner
24
Amp-Hour (Ah)
The technical term for how much electrical
charge a particular battery will hold. This
number can also be used to determine
charge and discharge rates.
Digital Multimeter
A digital multimeter, also known as a volt/
ohm meter or VOM, is an electronic mea-
surement device that combines sev-
eral functions into one unit. A standard
multimeter may include features such as
the ability to measure voltage, current and
resistance.
Intelligent Recharging
A system which continuously monitors
the cell’s charge state and automatically
adjusts the recharge rate to maximum per-
formance and minimize cell degradation.
Lead Acid Battery
A battery that uses the reaction of lead and
lead oxide with sulfuric acid electrolytes to
produce a voltage (e.g. a car battery).
Memory Effect
If a NiCd battery is only partially discharged
and then recharged many times, it will
begin to "remember" the level at which it
was discharged and will no longer fully
recharge. Lead Acid Batteries do not suffer
from memory effect.
Monolithic Dry-Cell
A one-piece battery that is hermetically
sealed and designed for maintenance-free
operation.
NiCd Battery
The NiCd, or nickel-cadmium battery,
is a type of rechargeable battery that
uses nickelic hydroxide and cadmium as
electrodes (e.g. rechargeable power tools).
