Cadex Electronics Inc. C7000-C Series Battery Analyzers .
Results: Global display shows failure-warning message. Detailed display shows percentage
capacity for the first cycle and the last three cycles run. It also displays: average battery or
cell voltage; analyzer charge or discharge current (shown in mA); OhmTest results; battery
temperature and duration of service.
An additional display screen (press
5
from detailed display) shows cycle number,
percentage of battery capacity achieved and OhmTest results for the first and last cycles
run.
Look for the number of cycles (a cycle is a charge followed by a discharge). Batteries
should provide the number of cycles as specified by the manufacturer. Typically, with a
target capacity of 80%, NiCd batteries should provide about 1500 cycles, NiMH 500
cycles, Li-ion 500 cycles, and SLA 300 cycles.
Duration: Approximately one month or more depending on the chemistry.
To edit the Life Cycle Test settings
The program uses the target capacity set in the C-Code to determine when the program
should end (see Target Capacity, page 43). To terminate the program after a certain
number of cycles, do the following:
1.
From the global display, press
MENU
.
2.
Press 5 or 6 to scroll to
PROGRAM SETTINGS
, then press
ENTER
.
3. Press 5 or 6 to scroll to
LIFECYCLE COUNTER
, then press
ENTER
.
4. Press
5
or
6
or use the number pad to select the number of cycles.
5.
Press
ENTER
. Press 5 or 6 scroll to
YES
to accept changes and press
ENTER .
6.
Press
ESC
twice to return to the global display.
DCHOnly (Discharge Only)
Function: The DCHOnly program determines the residual capacity of a battery, prepares
batteries for storage and checks battery performance under load.
