End of Recondition (NiCd and NiMH only)
The End of Recondition defines the point at which the reconditioning cycle is complete.
Recondition is most effective on NiCd batteries. This threshold point leaves the battery
fully discharged.
Available settings: Disabled, 0.40 – 0.80 V/cell
The minimum required setting to restore a NiCd battery affected by “memory” is
0.60V/cell. The Cadex analyzer uses 0.40V/cell. SLA and Li-ion batteries cannot be
conditioned with a deep discharge.
SMART BATTERIES SHOULD NOT BE RECONDITIONED.
Select DISABLED for the End of Recondition when servicing a smart battery.
If the battery’s voltage drops below the level required by the processor within the
battery, valuable information can be lost. In some cases, this data loss can leave the
battery permanently unusable.
Charge Method (NiCd and NiMH only)
This parameter determines the method of charge.
Available settings: DC Charge, No Rev Load, Reverse Load 5% – 12%
The reverse load method intersperses discharge pulses during charge and trickle charge
to keep batteries cool and promote the recombination of gases. NO REV LOAD is a charge
pulse without the reverse pulse. Best results are achieved using the default Rev. Load 9%.
DC Charge is used for batteries that cannot accept a pulse charge (some intrinsically safe
batteries fall into this category).
Maximum Standby Voltage (SLA and Li-ion only)
The Maximum Standby Voltage is the level that SLA and Li-ion batteries are maintained
when fully charged, after service is complete. A charge current of approximately 0.10C
maintains the Maximum Standby Voltage. If the battery voltage exceeds the Maximum
