IMPORTANT FEATURES Approved Copy 1. Microprocessor Fuel Computer - Accurately monitors the energy put into and taken out of the battery. This data is processed with sophisticated programs that take into account battery age, self discharge, charge/discharge rate, cell imbalance and previously experienced charge/discharge cycles. The DIGITAL battery constantly “learns” its precise state of charge and remaining capacity. This data is automatically transmitted to an InterActive charger.
HIGH VOLTAGE DESIGN HIGH RATE DISCHARGE Approved Copy For a given size and battery type, higher discharge currents will reduce overall life expectancy while lower discharge currents will enhance overall battery life. The DIGITAL battery incorporates a unique feature that will flash the “LCD” display when a high rate discharge current (equipment load) is applied to the battery.
OVER-DISCHARGED BATTERIES Approved Copy An “over-discharged” voltage state is caused by leaving a battery operated device unattended and allowing the battery to drain beyond the low voltage warning point of the equipment and/or the “Flashing 15 minute segment” indication on the LCD of the DIGITAL battery. Low voltage over-discharged batteries can also be caused by allowing batteries to remain off the charger for extended periods.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE Approved Copy The DIGITAL battery incorporates unique battery management features. Together with Anton/Bauer diagnostic accessories, an effective preventative maintenance program can easily be created to optimize the return on battery investment and greatly simplify battery management operations. The PowerCharger®, coupled with a DDM (Diagnostic Discharge Module), will provide a complete battery management system.
GUIDELINES FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE AND MAX LIFE Approved Copy 1. Keep batteries cool or at room temperatures whenever possible. Sustained elevated temperatures are the primary reason for premature failure of NiCad batteries: • Charging - Charge batteries at room temperature. In warm climates keep chargers in air conditioned rooms that are maintained between 65°F to 85°F for best performance. • On assignment - Do not leave batteries in a hot vehicle trunk or out in direct sunlight unnecessarily.
