Cadex Electronics Inc. C7000-C Series Battery Analyzers .
Term
Explanation
Recondition
A deep discharge below 1.0V/cell with a controlled current.
Reconditioning helps break down large crystals, which develop
as a result of memory, to more desirable small sizes often
restoring the battery to its full capacity. Applies to NiCd and
NiMH only.
Residual Capacity
Capacity remaining in the battery when it is inserted in an
analyzer.
Resistance
Also called internal resistance. Opposition to current flow and
dissipation of energy in the form of heat.
Self-Discharge
Battery capacity lost during storage because of internal
leakage between the positive and negative cell plates.
Smart Battery
Battery equipped with circuits that can communicate with a
charger.
State of Charge
The current energy content of a battery.
State of Health
The battery condition that takes into account its capacity,
resistance and self-discharge.
Target Capacity
The capacity level (in percentage of manufacturer-stated
battery capacity) that a battery must display to pass a test of
battery capacity. The target capacity is an arbitrary
benchmark set by the user. By default it is set to 80% but it
can be changed.
Trickle Charge
Maintenance charge to compensate for battery self-discharge.
User Interface
The front panel of the analyzer that provides information
about the status of the analyzer and any batteries being
serviced: It consists of the LCD display, the LED indicators and
the input keys.
