Using the Battery Analyzer
The battery analyzer is the fourth slot of the ChargeBase, labeled CHARGE/ANALYZE. This slot runs an Analyze cycle on the
battery placed in it, which helps you monitor battery capacity over time.
Analyze Button
The Analyze cycle is initiated when a battery is placed in the Charge/Analyze slot and the Analyze button is pressed. In an
Analyze cycle, batteries are completely discharged, then recharged to capacity. The battery is completely reset and re-calibrated.
The amount of time required for a battery to complete the Analyze cycle depends on initial state of the battery's charge. Minimum
time is 8 hours, maximum time is 12 hours.
Battery Capacity Indicator LEDs
These LEDs display the charge capacity of the battery at the end of the Analyze cycle. Battery capacity is displayed as a
percentage of measured capacity/rated capacity where each LED equals 10% battery capacity. At the end of the Analyze cycle,
these LEDs display the maximum charge level the battery can now hold.
Status LED
The Charge/Analyze slot also contains a standard status LED in the upper, left corner of the slot. When this slot is used for regular
charging, this LED operates in the usual manner; see
When this slot is being used to analyze a battery, its status LED functions as follows:
Solid Green
The battery has completed the Analyze cycle.
Flashing Orange
The battery is currently being analyzed.
Solid Red
The QuadCharger encountered an error during the Analyze cycle.
To Analyze a Battery
1. Insert the battery into the Charge/Analyze slot (the fourth).
2. Press the
Analyze Button
3. Upon completion of the Analyze cycle, the Status LED lights solid green, and the Battery Capacity Indicator LEDs display
the battery's capacity.
The QuadCharger is accumulating battery pack information during the entire Analyze cycle. Do NOT remove the battery until the
!
cycle has been completed.
