BATTERY STATES

Battery Master’s Specific Instruction Display indicates the battery’s state of charge and action required by the Operator.

Do not charge (green)

 

Charging in the DO NOT CHARGE range is destructive charging. Destructive charging wastes energy, reduces battery life, and increases water consumption. When the DO NOT CHARGE indicator is illuminated, the battery has sufficient charge to complete at least one full shift.

 

Ok to charge (yellow)

 

The OK TO CHARGE instruction indicates the battery has sufficient capacity remaining to complete the present shift. This setting is programmable to enforce maximum discharge policies or to allow batteries to be charged without interrupting workflow. Charging in this range is constructive charging and produces good lifetime battery capacity. The OK TO CHARGE indicator is backed up with an optional 5-minute variable alarm.

 

Must charge (red)

 

Operating the battery until the MUST CHARGE instruction is illuminated produces maximum lifetime capacity, greatest number of shifts per charge, and lowest per ampere charging costs. Charging in the MUST CHARGE range is used when mid-shift battery changes do not adversely affect workflow. The MUST CHARGE indicator is programmable to maximize battery use to the specific requirements of the workflow. Once the red light is illuminated, a warning beeps every 5 seconds, advising the Operator in advance that he/she has 10 minutes of lift operation before "lift lockout" engages. The "lift lockout" cannot be bypassed or defeated. Note: Lift lockout is normally programmed to engage at 80% discharged.

 

Battery Fault Indicator

 

The Battery Fault Indicator advises the Operator that a problem is developing with the battery. Problems detected could be: cell failure beginning, problem with inter cell connector, broken battery post, bad SB connector, etc. Minor battery problems are detected before they become a major repair expense, and overall battery maintenance costs are reduced.

DIGITAL COMPENSATING CALIBRATOR

The hand-held Digital Compensating Calibrator is used to field calibrate the Battery Master to your charging policies. The available range is 12 to 72 volts DC. Exclusive microprocessor technology eliminates guesswork and allows the setting to be quickly and precisely raised or lowered, regardless of the battery’s state of charge, facility temperature, or load conditions.
