Target Capacity
Target Capacity is the percentage of the battery capacity compared to the nominal
capacity. It serves as the threshold for reconditioning a battery in the Auto program.
The Target Capacity can be set between 50% and 150%. Following are the
recommended values:
90% Maintains batteries for critical applications which require maximum
energy reserve and high reliability. Fewer batteries will pass.
80% Recommended (default) setting which provides a balance between
adequate energy reserve and long service life.
70% Recommended for less stringent applications where battery power
demand is not critical or is of brief duration. More batteries will pass.
Target Capacity is a pass/fail mark and does not affect the final charge level.
For
example, a battery with a 90% capacity will pass if the Target Capacity is 80% but
fail if the Target Capacity is 100%. The batteries are always fully charged.
