8.4.4 Work with NiCd batteries
All open batterie types starting with numbers 2x respond.
In detail this are:
20: NiCd battery (manufacturer independent)
21: NiCd battery HAWKER
22: NiCd battery Saft
23: NiCd battery NKBN
24: NiCd battery MARATHON
After chosing the type using the following buttons confirm with and select the
treatment.
All treatments can be selected.
For chosing the treatment „P4: Maintenance“ display is as follows:
20: NiCd battery (manufacturer independent)
P420: Please enter parameter:
NUMBER Of CELLS? 00 CELLS
For NiCd batteries enter the number of cells. The battery voltage is calculated by the device.
NOTE:
The NiCd-cell has got a nominal voltage of 1.2
V. In order to completely charge it a voltage of
1.55
V/cell has to be reached. In opposition to the lead batteries unusual number of cells is
possible. In addition to the usual number of cells which lead to volt values of comparable lead
batteries you will find unusual number of cells.
In contrast to lead batteries sometimes exist very different cell counting. In addition to the "usual"
numbers of cells that match to comparable voltage level of lead-acid batteries, there are “Rare
types” as well.
Excamles for number of cells:
5 Cells 5 x 1.2 = 6
V battery
10 Cells 10 x 1.2 = 12
V battery
20 Cells 20 x 1.2 = 24
V battery
NOTE:
Enter the number of cells for NiCd-batteries with the utmost care in order to prevent damage of
the battery.
