Competition Electronics Turbo35 SE Operating Instructions Manual page 6

T35 Stealth op inst.
The TURBO35 contains a road-simulated discharge mode which can simulate discharge conditions for both off-road and
oval type racing.
It is designed to condition your battery packs to road conditions and has been found in some cases to enhance battery pack
performance.
Discharge current data and calculations based upon current measurements are invalid when road-simulated discharge is in
use, as the discharge current rate is varied during the discharge cycle and measurements are rendered invalid.
Road-simulated discharge mode is intended for conditioning only.
DATA OBTAINED DURING A DISCHARGE CYCLE
After a discharge cycle has been run, the user may examine the data gathered on the battery pack.
ACTUAL INTERNAL CELL RESISTANCE DISPLAY
After the discharge mode has been run, the actual internal resistance of the cell can be displayed. Just push the (DATA)
button until the message 'ACTINT RES XX.XX' is displayed.
The actual internal resistance is calculated using a method very close to the ANSI specification for NiCd batteries.
The lower the internal resistance the more punch the cell will deliver. Another effect the oval racers find is that the lower
resistance SCRC packs have more speed at the end of the run.
mAHr DISPLAY
After the discharge mode has been run, the mAHr rating of the battery pack can be displayed.
mAHr is an indication of how long the pack can sustain a certain output current. For example, a 2000 mAHr rating
indicates that the battery pack can supply 2 amps (200 mA) for 1 hour.
mWHr DISPLAY
After the discharge mode has been run, the mWHr rating of the battery pack can be displayed.
mWHr is an indication of how long the pack can deliver a certain output power. For example, a 1700 mWHr rating
indicates that the battery pack can supply 1.7 watts (1700 mW) for 1 hour.
DISCHARGE TIME DISPLAY
After the discharge mode has been run, the discharge time of the battery pack can be displayed. This indicates how long it
took to discharge the pack.
DISCHARGE AVERAGE VOLTAGE DISPLAY
After the discharge mode has been run, the average voltage of the pack or cell during discharge can be displayed. Just push
the (DATA) button until the message 'DS AVE V X.XX' is displayed.
DISCHARGE AVERAGE VOLTAGE @ 1 VOLTPERCELL DISPLAY
After the discharge or cycle mode has been run, the average voltage of the pack or cell when pack (example 6.0 V for 6
cell) = 1 during discharge can be displayed. Just push the (DATA) button until the message 'DS AVE @1V X.XX' is
displayed. This is for comparison against the discharge average voltage reading you get based on the selectable cutoff
voltage (ex. 5.40v for 6 cells)
