Preparing the 2110 SSB Transceiver for use
2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 35
If the transceiver is operational during charging, the battery status indicator on the
front panel screen will show that the battery is charging. When charging is complete,
the battery status indicator will be full.
Requirements for alternative chargers
The Codan battery packs may be charged using alternative supplies, for example, solar
panels or hand-crank generators. In this situation, the voltage level must not exceed
15.5 V and the current must be within 1–3 A. These chargers must be connected between
pin B (charge in) and pin A (ground) on the connector on the battery pack.
Notes on charging batteries
A battery will require 3–5 discharge/recharge cycles when new before it will reach its
full capacity. In order to increase the battery service life, it is recommended that the
battery is not fully discharged during each cycle. Full discharge should only be carried
out periodically as follows:
For the periodic full discharge cycle, run the battery down to zero capacity using the
transceiver. The transceiver will switch off automatically when the battery is fully
discharged.
The Codan battery packs have in-built monitoring, which is reported in the Battery entry
in the Control List. You should view the Battery Cycle setting for the number of times
the battery has received input current (that is, has been charged).
Type Full discharge
NiMh Two full discharge/recharge cycles every 20 charge cycles
SLA One full discharge/recharge cycle every 20 charge cycles
WARNING
If you are using alternative means to discharge the battery, the battery
voltage must not go below 10 V.
WARNING
An SLA battery must be charged immediately after discharge to prevent
damage to the battery.
NOTE
You will need to log in as administrator to see the Control List (see
page 110, Logging into admin level from user level).
