Service for automated battery tests

The service programs are divided into: Service, Advanced, Rapid-Test, Custom and Specialty Programs. The "Jump" command allows advancing to the next cycle or repeating the previous function.

Service Programs
Prepare, condition and restore batteries automatically.
  • Charge – Applies fast charge; terminates charge when the battery is full; applies trickle charge (depending on battery chemistry).
  • Auto – Exercises batteries and applies Recondition if the user-set target capacity cannot be reached (nickel-based batteries).
  • Prime – Prepares new and stored batteries for field use by repeated cycling until the maximum capacity is reached.
  • Extended Prime – 16-hour trickle charge prior to Prime. Prepares difficult to charge batteries
  • Boost – Activates seemingly dead batteries.
Advanced Programs
Automated testing for specialty requirement.
  • Load Test – Tests batteries under simulated GSM, CDMA and other discharge protocols, 50ms steps; minimum setting 500ms.
  • Runtime – Allows three different discharge levels, programmable in hours and minutes.
  • Lifecycle – Cycles battery until end-of-life.
  • Self-Discharge – Measures self-discharge.
  • Discharge Only – Measures self-discharge.
Rapid-Test Programs
Check battery performance without discharging.
  • OhmTest™ – Measure battery resistance with DC pulses. (IEC60285, IEC61436), 6 seconds*
  • Impedance – Measures battery resistance with 1000Hz signal. (Channel 1 only.)*
Custom Programs (via PC)
Allow user-defined programs. Customized charge and discharge possible; stores up to 100 Custom Programs.
Note
: In the absence of automated charge and discharge terminations, supervision is recommended.

Speciality Programs (via PC)
Enable advanced load and circuit testing.
  • Signature Test** – Simulates real life conditions with pre-recorded load.
  • ChargerTest** – Substitutes battery with programmable current and voltage source.
  • Safety Circuit Test** – Checks cut-off points by raising and lowering voltages and currents.
* A battery is an electro-chemical device and the reactance varies with frequency. Different test methods will provide varying readings.
