Action
Required Action Sub-
parameters
Description of the Action
programmed (No Scaling)
Charge
Type:
Allows the selection of the
type of discharge to perform.
Current:
Discharges at a specified
current. Specify the current.
C-Rate:
Discharges at the rate
indicated.
Waveform:
Performs a discharge as
specified by the waveform
parameters.
Custom –Scaled:
Scales the waveforms
greatest amplitude pulse to
the Charge Rate in the C-C-
code and if required further
scales the waveform to be
within the C8000 power
requirements.
.
Custom –Absolute:
Runs the Waveform as
programmed (No Scaling)
Performs a Charge on the battery.
Default: shall use the charge current value in the C-code
to set the rate of charge.
Recondition
None
Performs a discharge at the trickle discharge rate, as per
C-code, until the end of recondition voltage is reached.
(As per C-code)
For NiXX batteries only. This step will be skipped if
any other Chemistry is used.
Trickle charge
Performs a charge at the rate specified in the C-code,
until a termination condition is reached.
Charge rate is specified in the C-code for NiXX batteries
(Trickle Charge) and for all others charge termination
point (CTP) current is used.
Rest
Duration:
The length of time, the action
is to be performed for.
Does not apply current to a battery, but continues to
monitor all conditions.
Requirement:
A Duration value is required.
Impedance
AC Impedance:
Performs a resistance
Calculates the resistance of a battery.
Note: AC Impedance will only run if the program is
