Recover

Standard Recover Routine Use this routine to recover deeply discharged batteries. Memo: Some routines will not proceed when the battery voltage is below limits for the battery type and number of cells. This routine can be used to apply the specified “Charge Current” to the battery regardless of initial terminal voltage. This could be used…

Cycle

Standard Cycle Routines The Standard Cycle Routines will cycle the batteries for the number of cycles specified in the No of Cycles parameter. Each cycle consists of a discharge followed by a charge. For example if the No of Cycles = 2 then the cycle session will consist of: Cycle 1 Discharge, Cycle 1 Charge,…

Standard Routines

The Battery Console application has a selection of pre-programmed standard routines that can be used as required.  No programming is required to use these routines. Simply select how you want to define the parameters and then load any of these standard routines into the Battery Metric device for use.  There are two ways to define the…

Pulsing

Pulse Discharge Option A two part discharge pulse can be specified rather than a constant current discharge. To implement this feature set the Discharge Current = 0 and specify the pulse requirements. There are four fields used to define a two part pulse. Specify the Current and Duration for each part. The two parts of…

Programming Strategies

This section outlines some of the issues to consider when programming or editing your own battery routines. Programming instructions can be used as in as many steps as required. The same programming statement can be assigned any number of times. They are especially generic if they do not specify a GoTo = 0 (ie next…

Application Ideas

You can take advantage of the various device resources in order to use the device in innovative ways. This following examples give you some ideas. You will undoubtedly come up with other ideas of your own. The device has a unique design that allows you to program it in an unlimited number of ways for…

Memory Organization

The Battery Metric device has 64 pages of flash memory available for your program. There are 3 requirements for the use of these memory pages: Store the instructions for each individual step. Save the results data after a step terminates for display in the virtual console. Hold the memo data. Each step will require one…

Introduction

Battery Console Application Introduction The Battery Console software application is used to control and manage the Battery Metric analyzers and test modules. Use Battery Console to: Independently manage all channels Select test parameters Manage database of test profiles Load & run standard Routines Load, preview and run custom program Routines Operate device to Start, Stop,…

Read This First

The Battery Metric analyzers and modules together with the associated software tools create a system that allows the user full control to specify many battery charge, discharge and test parameters. In addition the system has options to modify the calibration by the user. These capabilities are designed to provide the user with maximum flexibility to…
