OVERVIEW
The inCHARGE
940
™
Diagnostic Conductance Charging Station (Model INC-940) integrates battery
conductance and load testing with charging. The inCHARGE940 safely and accurately tests and fast-
charges most fully discharged batteries in under 2.5 hours and most partially discharged batteries in
less than an hour. Simply connect the inCHARGE940 to the battery, select your test parameters and
press ENTER. Using Midtronics’ patented RTD
™
(Real Time Diagnostics) technology, the inCHARGE940
will continuously test and monitor the battery’s temperature, charging voltage, charging current, and
state of charge during the fast charging session. This real-time diagnostic evaluation prevents excessive
heat buildup, battery damage, and gassing common with other fast-charge methods.
With its comprehensive battery testing algorithm, the inCHARGE940 displays three battery decisions:
“Good Battery,” “Charging Required” (low state of charge), and “Replace Battery.” When charging is
required, the inCHARGE940 automatically starts charging the battery. After the charging session, the
inCHARGE940 displays a final result, “Good Battery” or “Replace Battery,” and generates a test code for
effective warranty management.
Safety features include reverse polarity detection/protection and automatic shut-off when charging
is complete or when an unsafe condition occurs. For more information on inCHARGE940 features
and specifications, see “Specifications.”
