Charge acceptance test
General Charge acceptance test mode is used to determine a battery’s ability to accept a charge.
The charge acceptance test takes place as follows:
- charge acceptance testing is conducted automatically for a period of 15 minutes; if the
result is positive, the device will then switch automatically to standard charging mode
and charge the battery
- if the result is negative, „Test Fail“ appears on the charger’s screen and charging of
the battery is halted
A prerequisite for a satisfactory charge acceptance test is compliance with EU standard
EN-50342-1:2006 item 5.4 (battery approx. 50% discharged).
Preparations To ensure the battery is about 50% discharged, the following preparations can be carried
out immediately before the charge acceptance test:
Fully charge the battery
Calculate the discharge current:
Charge battery for approx. 5 hours with the calculated discharge current
Start the charge
