Maximum charge current has been increased to 12A per channel, and capacity testing still remains at 25A per channel. The TS25 MKII still has paralleling mode where using a common paired cable both channels can be run in parallel to provide a charge capability of 24A and a capacity test capability of 50A.

Battery charger/analyser : Operators Manual The TS25 MKII contains the ability that will allow it to be calibrated by the end user. The equipment needed is a good 24V battery, an ammeter capable of reading up to 25A (or a shunt and milli-voltmeter combination) and a voltmeter capable of reading up to 30V.
Operation of the circuit breaker is an indication of a fault and the unit will need to be checked before use. 3.5 BATTERY CONNECTORS The battery terminal are where the supplied leads are connected to the TS25 MKII. It is recommended that replacement leads are always purchased from Intelligent Charging.
Stray ground loops between the attached equipment and the TS25 MKII could cause catastrophic damage to the unit and the attached equipment. The battery or batteries must be connected to the TS25 MKII as shown in the following diagram: - Doc: DWG1044-09-R16 TS25 MKII Operators manual.odt...
This mode will auto terminate the process if either the battery voltage reaches the voltage end point, or if the total capacity test time is achieved. At the end of the test the TS25 MKII will report a percentage of 100% or less depending on why the capacity test was terminated.

EXTD key to move to the next digit. Only library numbers 01 to 99 can be selected. The TS25 MKII needs to be placed in capacity test mode by pressing TEST and ensuring that the visual indicator is illuminated.
To keep batteries in good condition it is important that correct charging procedures are observed. The TS25 MKII is an important tool in ensuring the its flexibility allows the user to choose charge processes that are best suited to the battery. The TS25 MKII has two inbuilt charging processes that suite a wide range of batteries.

Care must be taken when connecting batteries which are not fitted with non reversible connectors, i.e. where the use of crocodile clamps are implemented, as damage to the battery and or TS25 MKII may occur if a charge is started in reverse connection.
4.6 RESETTING THE TS25 MKII The TS25 MKII keeps users modified data in battery backed RAM. It may be necessary at some time to reset this data to the defaults. Three sets of data can be reset.
The following procedure should be observed in order to perform this check. 5.1 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED In addition to the TS25 MKII that is going to undergo a calibration check, the following is a list of equipment that will be required to perform the calibration routines.
• 5.3 RE-CALIBRATION The TS25 MKII keeps a calibration constant value stored internally which it uses for calculating true voltage and current from it’s internal measurement circuitry. Because of component tolerances and tolerance drift with time (decay) the values created at manufacturing time can cause measurement errors due to this decay.
If necessary the same process is performed for channel B. • 5.4 CALIBRATION PROBLEMS The TS25 MKII has in-built protection to prevent erroneous calibration data from being entered. When performing a re-calibration the unit will validate the data to ensure that it is within reasonable boundaries.
Battery charger/analyser : Operators Manual 6 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Your TS25 MKII is designed to give you many years of trouble free use and Intelligent Charging recommends that at least once per year the following routine maintenance checks should be followed.
Battery charger/analyser : Operators Manual 7 BATTERY LIBRARY The TS25 MKII has 99 sets of built in data, which can be recalled quickly to perform both charging and capacity testing. Recalling library data is covered in the sections on capacity testing and charging.
Battery charger/analyser : Operators Manual 8 DEFAULT BATTERY LIBRARY The TS25 MKII comes with a built in list of battery parameters of commonly used batteries. Intelligent Charging provides this list as guidelines only and do not take any responsibility for the fitness of purpose of these parameters.
