C8000 Battery Testing System User Manual
3 Cadex BatteryLab 165
The following table provides a description of sample programs to
use as a starting point when creating BatteryLab programs to test
batteries.
Emergency Lighting Battery
Test
1. Trickle charge for 24 hours
2. Discharge for 15 minutes at @10A
3. Charge
4. Trickle charge for 24 hours
5. Loop to step 1.
Simulate a battery and solar
energy-powered device (such as
a radio repeater, weather
stations, and so on).
1. Charge for 3 hours @ lower current
(Sunrise)
2. Charge for 6 hours @ higher current
(Daytime)
3. Charge for 3 hours @ lower current
(Sunset)
4. Discharge for 12 hours @ constant
current (Nighttime)
Similar to the program above,
except connect an external light
sensor to one of the auxiliary
inputs.
1. Charge @ lower current; if analog
input >= daytime value, proceed to
step 2.
2. Charge @ higher current; if analog
input < daytime value, proceed to
step 3.
3. Charge @ lower current; if analog
input = nighttime value, proceed to
step 4.
4. Discharge @ constant current; if
analog input > nighttime value,
proceed to step 1
3.10.1 Factory Default Programs
The following table describes the C8000 Factory Default
programs.
Function: Exercises batteries to maintain optimum performance. This
is the recommended program for routine maintenance of batteries.
This test reconditions NiCD and NiMH batteries that do not reach
Target Capacity. Li-ion and SLA batteries are not reconditioned, only
exercised.
