Note *

Providing none of the following conditions are true:

Ambient temperature extreme (outside of battery charging range which is -20°C

to +60°C).

Battery providing backup power.

Battery high voltage fault.

Battery charger forced off by user.

Under these conditions the battery self tests are inhibited and do not run.

Note *

- The test is delayed if the temperature is outside the battery range or if there has

been a mains failure in the previous 12 hours.

Note *

- It is not possible to precisely specify the point at which the battery is deemed

faulty and should be replaced. The battery capacity and on-load test results allow the user

to determine what constitutes a faulty battery. The user can extract the previous battery

capacity and on-load test results from the system log. This data can be used to help

understand how quickly the battery capacity has taken to decline, and determine when the

battery will need to be changed. A battery capacity test pass indicates the battery capacity

is greater than 25%, however, the test is indicative only as the actual support time

required will depend on the equipment connected.
